What's happening in AGD R&D???????????????? (long)

Great Updtate.... However....

That update was so throrough, I was so excited to see what the plans were behind the AGD Factory door. Very nice job Mr. Kaye.

However.. I did find one area I still have a question on.

I have an SFL Emag, but I'm sure all the Xmag Owners will want to know as well. What will be the deal with buying different Modules for our guns... I have a vert feed now... but what if I want to buy a Warp Left or Warp Right ?

Pricing? Color Choices? Timing...if thats even on the project table yet ?

I'm assuming for now that project is on hold till more Xmags are out?

Thanks,
~da "always has a question left" baller

[yeahthatsme]

wow, now the question is what am i gonna buy

Im a fan :)

w00t! AGD!

I Agree Sam. The efficiency of markers has to take the top priority. You are all smart people at AGD and can surely figure something out to make it better. I still get 1000 shots on a 68/45 tank with my LX Emag, but it should be better than that....somewhere 12-1400 shots per tank is a good thing

I will however urge you to still look into the efficiency of your markers. This would not be a waste of time. Yes, one might say that a 5-10% loss of efficiency with the LX over a L7 may not seem bad, but I would suggest factoring in that L7 was not that good to begin with. ANY loss of efficiency is not good, and any improvement on that is a GOOD thing.

I agree completely. I think the efficiency of my Level 10 X-mag is pretty much the same now as my RT was.

However better and better efficiency to me is very important. It's very noticeable when coming from a well tuned cocker or angel to a mag.

I think getting better efficiency that level 7 would be fantastic IF possible and a good goal to work towards.

p.s. To those asking about modules. As production of X-mags moves along I suspect the extra modules will be available for warp feed (both left and right) it's just hard keeping up with demand for modules to fit the current marker demand :)

an LX RT/Retro/Emag valve would give you around 950 shots on LX set-up properly on a 68ci @ 4,000 psi. around 1050 on a L7 set-up.

Running at 4,500psi should give you at least 1,100-1,200 shots with LX

that's a revy and a little over 7 pods. that's pretty darn good for a 68/4500. Most mid/front players dont take more than 7 pods out on the field

back players do and back players dont use 68ci tanks. More like a 88ci or 114ci.

88ci leads to around 1550 shots
which is a revy and almost 9 pods.

114ci leads to around 2000 shots
which is a revy and almost 13 pods.

**added**
45ci leads to around 800 shots
which is a revy and a little over 4 pods.

You could always set your tank to 600psi, I played all day last time I played a 600psi, with no noticable shoot down, or low shots. Chronoed 288,288,288. It was in E-Mode, but I don't care for the reactive trigger so it doesn't matter.

[cphilip]

Bah! Get a bigger tank! Naw just kidding... :)


I am so dissapointed I do not see the Beer can holder Warp Feed on any of them lists! What happened!!!!

[Havoc_online]

thanks pito...

BTW, those numbers are running @ 900psi @295fps using the cut spring

lower input pressure and lower velocities improve on the numbers for those who run 800psi or play on fields that have velocity limits of 250-280fps etc.

**added** with a decent to good paint/barrel

[manike]

Good Numbers Havoc,

With my gun at around 295 and an 88ci 4500psi tank I can just squeeze out approx 1600 shots so that ties in well with what you figured.

I'd be happiest using a 45/45 tank though if possible

Can you imagine 1200 shoots off a 45/45 with air to spare. That would be the day.

[Creative Mayhem]

YOU DA MAN TOM!!!!

Thanks for the info, I'll be looking forward to these products whenthe finally come out.

To be clear, if my X-Mag shows up without a detent, will an Angel detent work in its place?
