EMAG & XMAG triggers suck - CAN'T WALK! Says this guy...

[Jack & Coke]

Maybe the request was not clear...

"W A L K I N G the trigger fast"

not "rolling the trigger"

not "raking the trigger"

not "blowing the trigger"



Something like this:

that matrix is pretty sick. i like when he shoots the x on the bunker.

[Jonno06]

haha...that guy is such a retard...

nice gun though.

puckmaster said he was gonna make a video for you, but maybe he forgot?

i will get a vid of me ripping on my X. I can get up to 13-14 no problem, with my off hand. I think i can get it saterday? hmm, we shall see.

walking the trigger is dumb anyways, just for show, imo. Many people, including angel owners, could fire my brother's emag faster than there own gun. I can't fire a matrix, IR3, imp, or race as fast an the emag.

I walk my trigger while playing and I dont do it for show...I can shoot faster by walking, in turn creating a tigher stream of paint in front of someone running.

I guess I don't see how or why you would think its for show..

even i was able to walk an emag trigger the 1st time i picked it up...and that was my 1st time ever shooting an electro gun, so needless to say i wasn't used to the feel, nor did i have the proper rythem for walking, but i pulled it off.

Although it's fast, I can't tell if BlackVCG is using HYBRID (illegal bounce), or WALKING the TRIGGER...

I think this is only 13-14 bps though.



Anyone else with a clip of someone "walking the trigger" of E-MAG's?

Strange how the E-trigger of the E-MAG is supposed to be so awesome and easy to shoot, but there's no video proof of anyone walking the trigger faster than 15+ bps (common for other top end electros).

[BlackVCG]

That's just me pulling the trigger in straight E-Mode. I don't even have a trigger rod or a rod on the sear arm for the trigger rod for that matter. I can't walk the trigger. I guess it might have to do with how I have the trigger set, but for me walking the trigger it's pointless when I can pull at that speed with one finger.

[Jack & Coke]

Cool!

Thanks for the details BlackVCG

[TecnoRobo]

glad you got what you needed...
Show this non-believer the light!

[Jack & Coke]

it's still not "walking" though...

Honestly guys, I've always had trouble walking e-mag triggers of any lightness and length, but that's me. I'll walk maybe 7 or 8 at best on an emag, pick up a matrix LCD and get about 15 going. Frankly, I'm not a big fan of magnetic triggers in general, but that's me. Hell, Blazing Ace can easily hit 13 or 14 bps with his e-mag, so one person's opinion doesn't mean much.

[Jack & Coke]

shartley, I agree... however, he does have a point that for a "fast" marker, it's strange that there are no existing videos of anyone "walking" their e-mag with any mouth watering speed.



It does matter to some...

I for one prefer walking a super light trigger. Since it's what I like, it does matter to me. That how I like to shoot. ...and as I suspect, the same may be true for the guy who posted the original question.

It's all about preference. If indeed it is very difficult to maintain a high ROF via walking technique with the mag, then many people who have horned their walking skills may shy away from the mag.

I know this is not the case... but just like everything else on AO, we want "proof".
