I've never shot or held an EMag, and I won't be able to, before I buy. I held a GZ today and it was pretty cool. I really liked the trigger. But, the GZ is $100 more and doesnt have an LCD/LED like I want. However, it is lighter than an EMag by what? 1 pound? Anyways, what would you go with and why? Please don't say its preference, because although I know it is preference, I've hold held a GZ and will NOT be able to hold an EMag or shoot one for that matter. Thank you.

Tension is building inside, steadily
Everyone feels so far away from me -
If you like the GZ, buy it. It's a quality gun, better than an e-mag stock, unless you're buying from the official AGD online store. The GZ is a LOT lighter....timmies are sooooo light. It's all about preference.

Out of the sport... missing it. -
look at it this way...everyone on here will disown you if you go with the gz...jk
here are the hard facts: emags are invincible..they are very durable
they are faster than the gz
the emag is smaller
the emag...you can switch from manual to emode. thats really tight.
the gz still chops paint.
the gz...is light but if you get an xvalve for the emag, it'll be just as light.Comment

next, faster? how? wheres the proof?
next, chops paint? and the mag DOESN'T?? timmys chop just as much as a lvl 10 mag, if not less.
xvalve makes about as much difference as getting tribal eye covers for a timmy

faster as in the emag has the fastest valve out there. i thought you might have picked that up from being on an automag forum.
nope, mags dont chop paint. lx mags do not. ive gone 7 times with my lx and i dont even bring my strait shot anymore. i havn't chopped one ball.
people at my field like to use timmis, and they chop all the time. there is a couple more mag owners there and they dont chop either.Comment

Yep, what AO says doesn't matter.
faster: Emag is theoretically faster, and an untrained finger would probably be much faster in hybrid on an emag than on a GZ, but I think to normal people the GZ will be faster. Timmies with WAS boards are some fast mofo's.
Chops. Eh. Neither will chop hardly at all. Timmies have eyes and emags have level 10.
The XValve does make a difference, but it wont make it as light as a timmy. Either way though, it's nice to know you can beat all of your oponents up with your gun then be ready for a nice round afterwards.
ALL PREFERENCE BRO! With a ULE grip frame, ULE rail, ULE body and Xvalve the Emag is light and tough to pass up. On the other hand...I bought a GZ tonight! (for less than 1/2 of what a spec'ed as above emag would go for
).
Anyhow, You say potato, I say cartwheel, what's the point? Just do what I do and change guns every month. That's the way, nice work

emagnum board = 30 cps.
WAS board = 30 cps.
either is faster.
Just cause timmys at the field near you do, that means all do? thats like me saying that i went to my fiend and saw mags chop all day...
and yes mags CAN chop paint, even with level 10.
took 42 cases to finally break a ball in my timmy, time to get new detents i guess, but thats a good long streak without a break.
But its like mossman said, its all preference, though i really dislike the design of lvl 10 that if you do chop, you can't shoot through it, since there is not enough bolt force."I thought it through and my worst brings out the best in you." - Taking Back Sunday

Asking what kind of high end marker to buy is like asking someone what type of vehicle you should drive. There are many deciding factors: price, type, options, and most of all personal preference. Get whichever suits you best.You are the Wormtongue of AO.~bofh

Both are great markers
Both will be able to shoot faster than you can pull(the Timmy will start having inconsistency issues a LOT sooner than the Emag valve)
Both triggers are adjustable, however the Emag trigger has a wider range of adjustability giving you more of a custom feel for your liking
The Emag's profile is incredibly lower than the Timmy making you a smaller target.
Emode/Mmode - no contest.
Both markers will not have chopping problems, however the Emag will still be softer on paint AND have less kick.
Yes the Timmy is lighter than the Emag, but no Timmy is lighter than the ULE Emag
Thats what I would recommend.

I own a highly modified Classic Timmy and except for cosmetics is no different then the GZ.
I also own a Emag.
I would buy the emag first, due to duriablity. The timmy plain and simple is just a cleaply produced gun. (I'd like to know where they are milled) They look good, shoot fast, and yes I've chopped much less then with my Emag (Before level 10)- but it just isn't built to last in my opinion. The metal is light weight, and flimsy contruction is through out. Also the Timmy is always only a single Oring away from a blow 'noid and ANY given moment - due to poor design.
The big advantage for the Timmy is weight - but the emag with ULE parts is now close if not equal.
The Emag (even with ULE parts) is built to last, the timmy isn't.
Other then that, the Emag will never shoot down, the Timmy may be able to CYCLE at 30cps - but will start seeing crazy inconsitency at ~20, especially with the crappy torpedo reg.
