    How much lighter is the Xmag valve than...

    How much lighter is the xmag valve than the stock emag valve anyway? If there is a thread on this please just post the link.

    Thanks

    This has been mentioned a TON of times ... do a search.

    But I believe its 3oz lighter (lol, too lazy to search and confirm, its early)

          It probabaly is'nt worth the move from a Retro-valve to an X-valve but if your trading up from a classic valve or buying new it would be, in my opinion.

          I do like mine, though.

            LMAO. A paintball weighs about 3g not 3oz!

            That would be one crazy heavy paintball...

                Lol. A 3oz paintball would hurt like hell to get shot with.

                  assumiung you could shoot a 3oz pball, at 300fps, that thing would go a long ways! - what's the formula again?

                    heavy + high velocity = go a long way + hurty lotsy :)


                    (speed(ft/sec) X speed(ft/sec) X weight(grains) )/450240


                    30g = 1oz... so if a paintball was 3g then your valve weight difference would be 30 paintballs :)

                    So if a paintball weighed 3oz it would weigh the same as 30 normal ones... if it travelled at 300fps it would have around 312ft/lbs of energy... since 12ft/lbs is deemed 'lethal' it would not be nice to get shot by one

                    Just messin'

                          hmmm, a case of those 3oz paintballs would weigh 375 lbs. I don't think anyone would be able to move a case by themself:)

                            It feels a lot more than 3oz to me. I would dare say it "feels" like it weighs about half.

                              Three bags of Pot...um..er...well thats a hold over from Friendly Corner issues...

                              Thats 90 grams if you want to stay with Manikes conversions to metric. It's noticable when you hold the two side by side but after all its just three ounces...
