Getting fed up with the Emag

[Steelrat]

Oh i saw that horse stable video, that didn't help much, as it just made me envious. Im trying his technique, but I think I need to change me trigger setup a bit to make it work. I'm still giving it a try, it seems to be the best idea so far. My fingers may be too big to walk the trigger, and fanning doesnt get you the same ROF.

Don't move your finger up and down on the trigger. Just rock your wrist back and forth, inline with the barrel and fan the trigger. I'm able to keep my finger on the trigger and get a rhytmic motion going in straight E-Mode.

In a recent 7man tournament, we had 8 players, mostly 'Mags, but my gun went down for the day (someone filled my 3000psi air system to 4500... ooops!). As we were rotating players in and out, I used three different teammates' X-Mags in various games. All had completely different trigger setups. One was set up for fanning, with a fairly sloppy pull, and a rearward firing point. Being a trigger-walker myself I couldn't get on with that one. The second had a hard-ish pull and a very forward firing point. OK for walking, but it took a while to get used to it to get it to respond how I wanted. The third was simply insane.... a medium pull, forward firing point, and instant return. Not so light that you could breath on it and fire, like some trigger setups I have seen. Very safe, but I could literally tickle the trigger with two fingers and it would respond with a beam of paintballs, no learning period required. Fantastic. I may be trading up for an X-Mag soon, and I will endeavour to set my trigger up the same way!

Do you mean the trigger pull was short ? I'm trying to set mine up now and was just trying to get some ideas.

[cgrieves]

Yup, short..... but not so short or light that it fired when you coughed or looked at it, like some triggers I have used. It gave a bit of resistance and feedback to the finger, which somehow made it so easy to use. And when I say the fire rate was insane, it was achieved simply by walking the trigge- no bouncing or other illegalities.

And finally, personal rant, I am so tired of hearing that Timmys are just milled spyders.

Dude, they take some spyder parts, their bodies are compatible with spyder bodies, not to mention they operate on the same principle. There's a picture of a guy's gun on PBN who made a "timmy" out of a black dragun's internals, timmy body and grip, and other stuff, it just illustrates the point more. Bushmasters are also pretty much spyders with solenoids, but at least their bodies arent compatible with spyders.

Video

Could someone post the video of how the guy rocks his wrist.

Hey i can take a ferrari, rip out its engine, throw in a VW 4 cylinder, and make the car move, but does that mean a stock Ferrari is the same as a stock VW beetle? Though the operating principles are the same, and the parts roughly compatible, they are by no means the same.
