cphilip's The Rookie EMAG experience report...

[BlackVCG]

There's a two pin jumper in the upper right hand corner of the board. If the jumper is ON, then you should have burst modes. Turn on the gun, press the top mode button until you see 1 Shot, then press the bottom button to cycle through the modes. You should see 1 Shot, 3 Shot and 6 Shot.

Wow that first picture didn't have a freak on it I thought OOHHH NNOOO he'll never hit anything with that.
HHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
I find myself azusing at least.
Hitmanng

I took that fist picture for you Hitmanng! And believe it or not that stock barrel shoots real nice with the right paint. I will admit that. Plus... it looks cool.

As to the jumpers for burst. I do not know if they are in there. I will just have to take the grip cover off and see I guess. I think its showing 1.37. But no matter what I do the bottom button does nothing when I push it when its showing "1 shot". Me suspects the jumper is not "on". The Video says they are shipped with it on but it might be that has changed. I did read a post by Tom where he said "in a few months Burst would be discontinued". I'll have to find it but it might be they do not include the jumper on for burst anymore?

I'll email Jon today on that and see if he can find out.

trigger

Have you tried changing the trigger by removing magnets yet? I have only one magnet in mine now and I like it. I am trying to get mine where I want it. It is a toss up between 1 and 1 with o-ring. If 1 magnet is still not light enough you can remove all the magnets and put a small o-ring in the magnet hole under the magnet and put a magnet on top of the o-ring. This sets the magnet further away but it still works. If you EMAG owners want the lighest, that is the lightest I have gone. Let me know if anyone has any other trigger setups.

[cphilip]

No!!! I am still in stock mode and it fully impresses me like that!

Did I mention the trigger?

[absocountry2]

try it

Try adding/removing magnets to set it up for you. Don't forget the o-ring if you like it light

oh cphilip ... you lucky boy ... I like the EMag so much, but you cannot buy it in good old Germany
When they will be allowed, I will be one of the first in Germany to have one!
Thanks for everything!

[nutz]

sweet sounds like a great gun with a great setup...

[cphilip]

One other thing I forgot to comment/suggest on to Tom. Would it be possible to reverse the board and display for right handers that have the Warp and revy on the left in order for them to better see the display? You know. End up with the display window on the right side of the grip? Perhaps it can be done now? Or considered in the future?

TRIGGER :)

I use to use only 1 magnet and I set the trigger so you could feather it and the gun would go off. That was way to dangerous for rec play. I am helping people in my paintball club with stuff almost as much as I am playing and am not always paying attention to my gun, so I made the trigger harder to prevent accidents.

Week Two update

Not the best of days for Phil. The E-Mag however rocked.

First chance to play Speedball with her and cphilips back is gone out. An old non repaired ruptured disk, that gives me trouble from time to time, decides to rear its ugly head on me Sunday. I take a 600 MG Motrin and it seems alright till I get out there and actually get hunched over behind a bunker for what seemed like forever. Man it was excruciating to stay hunched over. That is the most terrible position to be in with this thing. And I am stuck at the 40 like that is an untimed game. Went on forever. However I will say I did not get shot out. I kept ducking out the right side and trying to pick off my opponent at their 40. I am fairly certain without the Warp I would have taken a hopper hit. He was slinging them right by my head. fffttt fffttt fffttt....fffftttt fffttt fffttt... you know. And me almost out of paint. I had lost about 20 or more balls on the break from loose hopper lid. Sure that's never happened to you right? Also we were playing Hopper ball so this realy is a disadvantage. here I am shooting an E-Mag. A real paint slinger right? Low on paint right off the break. Arrrrgggggg! So I am almost helpless really but he doesn't seem to know that. So we have a stand off. Our three out of paint. Their two almost out. No one wants to move. I couldn't have if I had wanted to as after hunkering down for 10 minutes my legs are almost numb and my back is killing me so if I had wanted to pop up quick I would have screamed in agony and fallen right over. Normally in a situation like this I would mount a wild charge, paint or not, and go out in a blaze of glory. But no way today. So our center guy keeps wanting to concede. I hate that. But finally after nursing every ball out of my Warp tube by cocking the gun over aqnd tapping the warp, I couldn't stand the pain and gave in and quit. I really Hated that. Humiliating. So realy I just cannot play period. Very disaponting but to go on would have been far worse in the long run.

So I let the Kid take the E-Mag for the rest of the day. He goes all the way through the day with no hopper hits too. So I am real certain its the Warp as I cannot remember a day without a hopper hit can you?

Anyway the Emag performed flawlessly. Had the prerequisite "lost the yellow pin" experience. Time to get in touch with Jon. Hopefully I will be ready to go next time and have a more complete report. Just too old for this young mans game I guess. Sucks to get old...

Observations: Warp is tight! E-Mag not a "hopper ball gun" especially if the game is long and you lose paint on the break! (sniff) Need to take an extra pod at least for this thing. Bad backs are not good for Paintball. Or perhaps stick to the stand up bunkers?

:)

[shartley]

Thanks for the update Phil! Good to see the Mag/Warp did so well... on the other hand, does this mean we can no longer call you a "stand up" guy?

You should pay closer attention to those back muscles.. I have some GREAT exercises I could e-mail you. They would not be proper to post in a General Forum though... Woopeee

[cphilip]

Well I can stand just not stoop! Ummmmm...Pictures would be nice!
