Getting fed up with the Emag

Years of practice...

How dare a moderator hijack my threat to make jokes with thinly-veiled sexual overtones directed at long-time AO members. Can't you see im going through a life-crisis here? :)

as a lifetime fanner ive been learning to walk since i got my e-mag(s). for me a lighter trigger setup...spacer and one magnet doesnt return the trigger quick enough with enough force to sustain high rates of fire. you may want to try more magnets, instead of just finding it easier to be a hater because agd gave e-mag users more adjustability than any other marker and leaving it to them to set it up the way that works best for them. if you want one size fits all sell your e-mag and get another marker.

Adam, I want to set the record straight. I am not an AGD "hater" by any stretch. First gun I went to when I got back in the sport was a mag. I'm just not able to find that happy place that will provide me with the trigger speed i desire. If I am unable to do so, then I will probably end up selling it. Saying it the way you did, however, is entirely unecessary.

spare us the sob story my friend. if you want a timmy go get a timmy....b/c quite frankly i think everyone who is a regular here is getting tired of seeing the post about how they don't like mags anymore

[nuclear zombie]

just keep trying different magnet setup's , and you may want to consider buying a tl63 trigger if you can find one . I have found that it is much easier to "walk" a blade trigger .

First, kill you gas source and turn on the electronics. Sit and play with the trigger while you watch TV or something. If you turn on the safety in E-Mode, you'll get a 'click' everytime you pull the trigger. This is how I learned to walk my E-Mag. And this past weekend I got a few compliments on my ROF. :)

Second, I use all of the magnets with an On/Off o-ring to space it in the bottom of the frame. This makes it a soft pull with plenty of return. It's butter!

Third, if you can find one, I HIGHLY recommend one fo the TL63 Blade triggers. If you don't know what that is, do a search for TL63 by Timmy63. It's a blade trigger for the E/X-Mag and it too is butter!

Good Luck ~ Dave

Edited for spelling

ok try this, dont set the trigger so short and so light, set it a litle longer, actually let the trigger travel some, and leave your magnets the way they are, if that doesnt fit your taste, then try taking the o-ring out. Where is the trigger in length now? how do you like the trigger when it isnt on e or m modes(pointed back towards the gripframe)?

[la690]

is the ROF set all the way up or is it on any burst mode? this may sound funny but it happened to m...err.. a kid i know.

I have a magnetic frame on my matrix, and I dont even walk it all I do is use my two middle fingers and sorta vibrate my fingers and I can hit 14-16.

Thank you all for the help.

BlackVCG: I tired your technique, and I can see how it would work, but I'm beginning to think my fingers are too long/fat for effective walking. Looking at the emag trigger guard, it looks a little more constricted than other markers.

Icantbelieveit: Why do all forums have people who want nothing better than to be rude and controversial. Please, if you don't like the subject matter of the post, don't read/respond to it. I said I like mags, and I want to find a way to use it more effectively. And there is nothing wrong with timmys, they just take a different route to get to the same place. Why is it a crime to like more than one marker? I can only afford one right now, I need to make sure its one I can use well.

la690: Good advice. I actually got burned by that the first time I went out, max speed was set low, and I didnt realize it. I was like upset, to say the least.

The level 10 has to be the best part of a mag right now, nothing else like it out there. The AKAs run low pressure, and achieve roughly the same thing, I just can't get past their looks.

And finally, personal rant, I am so tired of hearing that Timmys are just milled spyders. Look, what are xmags really, but upgraded classic mags? And Yugos operate on the same principle as Ferarris. Basic operating principles mean squat, its the excecution and effectiveness that count.

Steeratt- Maybe you're confused with how I pull the trigger. It's not really a "walking" method. It's more or less fanning the trigger. Hold your trigger hand so that all your fingers point straight up. Now bend down your middle finger. Put that middle finger in the top groove of the trigger, or wherever it feels comfortable on the trigger. I usually ride the center hump of the trigger or slightly above. Now just twitch your entire wrist back and forth to pull the trigger. My finger never leaves the trigger and you can barely tell I'm moving my wrist, but I'm moving my wrist fast enough that I can throw 13-14bps consistently.

[Steelrat]

Hmm, maybe I was confused. I was actually rotating the wrist before, moving the finger out of contact with the trigger. I tired what I think is your technique, and it seemed more like rubbing up and down the upper part of the trigger. I've gotta get air in the tank to see if I'm actually releasing the trigger enough to get it to fire.

Thanks for bearing with me and continuing with the helpful advice.

BTW, whats your magnet setup?

post the video of you in the horse stable field... he'll like to see that

This is no help I know, but I just love it on the toxic magnetic matrix frame how you have 3 screws to adjust the trigger. One is for rear travel, one is for forward travel, and one is for weight.
