    Would you buy a smaller Warp?

    Would you buy a warp half the size of the current one? I know I would. Price isn't really an object for me but the size of the warp is. Maybe if we could show Tom that people would buy a smaller warp he'd make/release one?

        I'd be down for that possibility if the weight decrease was a decent amount.

          sweet... a miniature warp made out of stainless steel... now when I get pissed at someone on the feild, instead of whacking them over the head with my barrel, I can also throw a warp at them!

          But seriously, I would love a mini-warp.

            Thanks to various trades and what not I have owned three warps in the past year and a half ... all of which I got rid of because of weight and size ...

            If AGD comes out with a smaller/lighter warp I will be all over it ... I am shooting a classic timmy again and this was the only marker that I really liked the warp on ...

              If you made the warp smaller, the wheel would have to be smaller.

              If you made the wheel smaller, you would have problems with feeding while shooting out the left side.

              The only way you would be able to keep up with it would be to put a halo or something on it. So there goes your weight savings.

              It might work, but there would definetly be some problems.

                Wouldn't be suprised if AGD started making them a tad bit smaller in a little while. This is the kind of constructive thinking we need. Not that insane "I wanna create something revolutionary and crappy though I really don't care" crap we've been getting lately. It's an easy fix too. Good thinking Hemorrhage! and keep it up!

                  Not sure if I'd want fewer balls in the warp. But if the package could be redesigned to tighten it up it would be nice.

                  More compact motor in the center of the warp wheel driving the wheel through a planetary gearset perhaps? Something like:
                  Or:

                  Build in the LED/switch/12v (be able to switch between 9v or 12v use) mod that everyone seems to be doing.

                  Make the battery compartment removeable for those that are driving the warp with another power source.

                  Rethinking the way it's mounted might help as well. Would it work if the warp was horizontal and fed and discharged through elbows?

                    I agree with Slartybartfast, but I would like to see an all-in one warp with the hopper built in. This would reduce size and weight by having only one circuit board and one set of batteries. ALSO, the next version of the warp would be great if it had a built in 12v reg connected to a plug port. That way if we want to run the warp off of an e-mag battery we just make the cable and plug it into the warp. The removeable battery holder for the warp would be great too.

                      I currently own two Warpfeeds and have an X-Mag that should be here soon(?) but I am still not sure I will put my faded-to-match-my-Evil-Pipe Warpfeed on the X-Mag due to weight. Why have one of the lightest markers out there if you are going to throw 18 ounces of Warpfeed onto the side of it?

                      Undecided as to if I am going to use Warpfeeds, but would be VERY interested in a lighter/smaller version.

                        i would be interested in buying one, that is if the prices stays about the same or better yet if they were to lower them. I would not pay extra for a smaller warp, just because they are smaller wouldnt mean they perform any better, i persoanlly dont mind the feel of the old ones.

                            I ditched my warpfeed in favor of the upcomming ULE bodies. 18 oz is a *lot* more than I had come to realize. It was ok when I was using a flatline tank, but with an older max-flow, it was just cumbersome.

                            Smaller Warp is also a possibility of less blockage of fill-nipples and guages too.
