making the emag smooth while firing.. how?

The reason that Mags have so much "recoil" is because they dump so much air so quickly. The air builds up behind the ball due to the ball's inertia and this cause the air to expand in both directions. This is why you feel more recoil when shooting paint than just air.

Are you sure about this? It was my understanding that the dyno test results posted in the data thread in deep blue showed that if anything that the mag takes a little bit longer to reach peak pressure behind the ball than most other markers.

sometimes when i am chronoing my gun will not fire that is how sensitive i have my LX but when i raise my gun it fires just fine it makes me wonder when i bunker somebody it wont fire

[BlackVCG]

Are you resting the gun on the chrono when you chrono in the gun? If so, that's the problem. By resting the barrel on the chrono, if the bore size is tight enough, it will hold back the LX bolt and keep it from firing. Just don't rest the barrel on anything and it will be fine.

I always thought that the recoil your are feeling has more to do with the spring kicking the bolt back.

If you are all having this LX problem

Oil the gun well every time you use it. I had the same problem until I started doing this. Every time you pull it out, put a few drops in. I tuned LX will stick with the added friction of less than fresh oil.

keep in mind you might need to use the middle spring, but cut it a bit. That is the problem i was having. Kept chopping with the stock spring and put in the middle and couldn't get it to fire (cranked the veloc. up and it just vented-even with a new piston). cut the spring and it works great now.

Also, i have noticed on my hyperframe that if the field strip bolt it just even a little bit too tight, it wont fire...just click. So i finger tighten it and then back it off just a hair...and she rips....????

For those with emags try backing off the tension on you field strip screw and see if that works.

The last two replies sound interesting. Thanks guys. I'll give them both a shot.

I get weird leaks now and then as well. My lvl10 will just start leaking after its been working fine, I just have to take it apart and put it back together with all the same parts and it works fine.

I though the Oring wore out more and I had to go to a tighter carrier, but with the next one down my bolt Sticks really really bad.

You guys with the level 10 problems. You MUST use the largest carrier that does not leak. Also, if that carrier causes the oring to fit tight on the power piston (the weight of the bolt will not allow it to slide past the oring) it is still too tight. Use a different oring. Even better, use an oring from a different kit. One of the level 10s I installed would not work correctly no matter how small a carrier I used. It would work okay at first, then leak after awhile. I used an oring from a different kit and it hasn't had a problem since.
