    What are the lightest....

    I'm just waiting for me e-mag to come to me, and I want to pick out all out all of the accesories for it(tanks, barrels, drops, hoppers, etc)

    What is the lightest tank that is a pretty good price(no 4500 psi tanks, our field can't fill 'em)

    I'm thinking about getting the 32 degrees carbon fiber barrel, Does it really shoot through breaks that well? What other barrels are really light out there.

    Also hoppers, would a 12 volt revvi w/x feed the e-mag okay, or would I need to get a halo. the thing I dont like about halo's os that they are heavy. and I hate how loud richy's are.

    just so some inparticulars know, I DID DO A SEARCH, AND ONLY FOUND PARCIAL IMFORMATION.

      Smart parts All American is very light. Liter than an ultralight.

      As far as a tank goes, the lightest are obviously the 45-47 ci tanks, but with 3000 psi, you don't get many shots. So either go with a 68/3000 Flatline or go for a 45/45 and do you own fills.

        just because your field cant fill them all the way doesnt mean you shouldnt get a 4500. you never know they might get a compressor or something and you will be stuck with a 3000 tank. i would go for a max-flo if you want adjustable or a pure energy if you want pre-set.


        about barels: if you get a level ten for your emag you wont need to shoot through breaks really, and you should consider a freak or similar barrel kit so taht youa lways have a good paint match

        on loaders: i would go for an evolution2 they feed slightly slower then they halos but they are lighter and carry more paint. if not that then go for a halo b.

          Puck,

          The 32 degrees carbon fiber barrel is actually as heavy or heavier than many other barrels. The carbon fiber front part of the barrel is indeed very light however the base is stainless and quite heavy. On mine it is anyway. As far as shooting through breaks goes, I've not noticed it being particularly good for that. A barrel's ability to shoot through breaks is largely dependant upon how smooth it is honed, how tight the bore is and how heavily it is ported. A smooth hone and very little porting will allow paint from broken balls to clear out easier after a shot or two. A loose bore is more forgiving of breaks and probably less likely to break paint in the first place.

          If you are looking for a nice efficient, light barrel that clears breaks well I'd say go for a Lapco Bigshot over the carbon fiber. Since Lapco's are only ported near the very end they are slightly louder however you get less air venting meaning better efficiency. I also like the J&J ceramic barrels which are a bit quieter than the Lapco's.

          You may also want to get some of those Rain-X wipes from the automotive section of target or wal mart. You can pull one of these through your barrel with a squeegie and it will really help the paint to clear easily if you have a break. One application should last all day and you can do several barrels with one wipe.

          The emag can indeed outshoot a 12 volt revy if you are very quick on the trigger or low on paint. After going all out to get an emag you should give serious consideration to putting a warp on it. When running a warp the revy will be fine unless you are shooting at extreme angles that don't allow it to feed balls.
          A good friend is one that will come and bail you out of jail.

            Thanks for the info. I just want to see where I'm at weight-wise with my whole set-up before I go buy a warp.I think the J&J ceramic is a very good deal($30), but I either shoot kick'n, hotspot, Premieum, or evil, so i would like to have a multi-bore kit, but I dont want to blow 175+ on them.

              id take the Lapco barrels. i love mine. i have an AutoSpirit and a BigShot. that allows me to shoot most all bands of paint on the market. these two barrels will TOTAL $100 or so shipped to your door. i highly recommend these. very accurate, very efficient only slightly loud

                  The two lightest barrels I've encountered are the J&J ceramic and the smart parts all american. As said before the carbon fiber is actually pretty heavy due to the stainless steel back.
