OK...lets kick this thing off. As you know, until Friday, I knew very little about such things so perhaps some of you were following along on my setting it up and learning thread? This one? http://www.automags.org/forums/showt...threadid=15150
Well, if you have, then you know some of the mistakes and upward leaning curve this weekend has been for me...
So here is the final set up as it is now.
SO...I was going to tell you about my first actual field experience now. I was out at the College field on Sunday afternoon. Now mind you this was a work day so I didn't actually get too much playing time. I mostly mowed the Kudzu off the Speedball field. But I can say that several did play Woods ball with it and many more inspected and shot it. So I do have some observations to relate from all of them.
It was asked about the weight before. Is it heavy? well the answer depends greatly on what you are comparing it too. It is heavier than an Aluminum Framed Cocker that's for sure. Especially decked out with warp and all. I weighed it all out this morning and it's right on the nose at 9.0 pounds. See this of it on the scales. You might be able to see the 9.0 showing on the digital read out.(I'll just link it to save load time): http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?...897&p=55783023
Comments about weight from my Mentor and Friend Dr. Walt Ligon "You do not notice the weight while you are playing with it. It's only noticeable when you are lugging it back to the vehicle out of the woods. However is beautifully balanced". His comment on his first Warp experience "I wasn't sure I would like the bulkiness of the thing but somehow it just balances well and I love the line of sight it gives you". One other general comment from a Bushy owner " I better put this thing down" (he had a big grin on his face and shook his head many times after each string)"
Another observation "the weight seems to make the whole gun more stable. No kick at all. Stays steady on the target"....So, there you have it... draw your own conclusions.
We broke one ball in the barrel after about 1000 rounds. No chops all day. The Freak system worked very well as did the Stock with the right paint. I was using Powerball Pearl. We shot some old Proball out of it with the Freak with a large insert to accomadate this old huge stuff. But even all of that shot well.
My main observations: For me the whole experience of this thing is the Trigger. If for no other reason to go electronic on a Mag its this trigger system. I cannot stress this enough. The trigger pull is incredibly light, short and therefore fast. And this is as it's set up stock from the box. It allows you to really get that trigger speed up and the Warp keeps up with you nicely so you cannot come close to chopping with this thing. Even at first use and not used to it. We really whipped this thing as fast as we could. No one, not to a man, chopped a single ball. If you really want to understand this thing you must get a copy of the video even if you don't own a EMAG and see Tom explain the various adjustments you can make. It is too hard to explain but for me and from my observation the best feature of this marker is the Trigger. Did I tell you about the trigger? I am telling you guys you have got to feel this for yourself. It's the trigger!
Here are a few more picts link of the set up:

Thanks go to Tom, JoAnn and Maxx for the wonderfull experience.
PS: forgot to say...Many comments on how quiet it was. Many comments that "it was shooting to fast" they mean it was hot(FPS) but over the crono it always was right on 280 - 285. Sore losers I think as Walt cleaned up in the woods with it. Won every game. Three I think.
When we were setting around and looking at it one of the guys brought me up his Aluminum Cocker. I guess to demonstrate how light his was compaired to the Emag. Of course it was. No hopper on it, no Warp of course. I just took it from him and praised it as real nice and said "Gee isn't that cute! It's like a marker only smaller..."
