      I'm kind of surprised at the comments, too.

      I've had several E's & two E-M's & never had any problems with any of them. My primary right now is an ultra-nickel E-M, and it shoots like a dream.

      I've had zero blow-back problems w/ it, and here are my thoughts:

      E-Mag Benefits:
      Warp body/interchangeable body

      E-Micro Benefits:
      nice milling
      'cocker barrels

      I've gotten a lot more comments on the E-M than I ever got w/ the E, and the 'cocker barrels are what made the decision for me. They're cheaper, a wider selection, & easier to clean. Again, all my opinion.

      With the relatively short vf on the E-M, a Warp setup isn't that bad, either. Definitely not as sweet as a Warp body, but... some of us are just suckers for 'cocker barrels and sweet looks

        Well the Micros can be tempermental as they have different specs in a few areas. One main one being the on off pin length. I got one that was a problem child and sent it out to Black to look at. He found several issues that were easily corrected. The one main one was a wandering Sear selenoid Plunger that was unscrewing itself out as it was being used. There was no lock down nut. So he returned that to spec and then returned the On Off pin to its spec. He also found a miss aligned Battery post. The previous owner had issues with losing power and I suspect missfiring. All these were cured and it continues to shoot very well to this day. I suspect those problems existed from day one with this marker. And a Plunger that would not stay in spec would continue to reoccur no matter how many times you made a new On Off pin trying to correct it. And the power issue was simply a bad connection. I cannot get this marker back away from my Kid now. Its a nice shooting marker now. The blow back issue is now solved with a combination of Level 10 and a Halo B.

        A few others have had detante issues and mosly from a week spring that needs to be replaced and that seems to solve these problems. I have had no problems with this issue at this time.

            I'm actually happy with micro-e(thanks kev) but i'm not the best with electronics so some how i fried the board but no problem ptp is just around the corner in Fl so it will take about a day to two to get everything fixed up again. They have very good customer service(everytime i have a problem i just give them a call and they will hook me up with anything i need, they even gave me a free yellow pin since my gun didn't have one and a new battery )
            set up: Micro e-mag with 32 degree chrome flame drop, Level 10, 88/4500 crossfire, 12 in CP, 32 degree whisper and ARADUS 14in barrel, EVO II.

                Hi, my main question is how much does the E-Micro weigh? Is it maybe half the weight of a standard E-Mag?



                Thanks

                  The micro-e should be a tad lighter since it is aluminum while the e-mag is steel. I have owned an e-mag before and the weight seems a little heaver( not really sure since the e-mag that i had was a customized one with the battery moved and some other things milled off to lightened it)
