Why do people think mags are heavy?

[Will Wood]

Since getting my emag.. I havn't noticed it being a tad bit heavy. The L in ULE should stand for lighter.

Many people have handled my E-Mag, and the immediate reaction was either "Wow this is light" or "Hey this isn't as bad as everyone says"

(Was just reading PBN's 'Heaviest Gun?' thread and felt like posting this here)

Because before ULE stuff, Mags were pretty heavy guns. A lot of people still don't know about the ULE parts, and many people still use all non-ULE stuff, so the thought that Mags are heavy is still widespread.

there have been studies shown that some paintball players are wusses and don't lift weights

Stock mags are pretty darn heavy
But I have a stock valved, minimag PF body, heavy forgrip/drop, heavy preset tank, and a Halo

and I'm not complaining

A heavy gun will slow down your snap shooting, reguardless of strength. Slower snapshooting is bad for front players. Besides, a light gun is just more convenient to carry around, even if a heavier one doesn't tire your arm.

feel free to put that into my f/s thread

Even before ULE stuff I didnt think mags were insanely heavy...far from light, but not deathly massive

compared to most other guns, i think they are. i played with my warp mag for awhile before i switched to emag with xvalve, and i noticed a difference. but when i handled my friends new timmy, i felt like i was gonna break it cause it was so light

[Bad_Dog]

my setup loaded weighs 12 lbs... but I DO NOT MAKE ANY attempt to make it lighter... I simply dont care...

You DO realize that the L DOES stand for Light right?

Thats true.
Well mostly for me when im at some weird angle, usually stand up bunker snap shooting isnt a problem. But I sure do understand you on that point 'tis my only reason for wanting a lighter gun

True. but i think where the mass of weight is located i also a big factor. I nocticed it requires more energey to lean/rotate a taller with a N2 tank, than a drop forward less, no-rise gun.

Yeah, weight usually doesn't bother me too much. But it's just a little easier to snap shoot with a lighter gun. There are worse guns weight wise than older Mags anyway (Shocker, the size/weight on that gun was enough to convince me never to buy one).

When people hold my E-Mag with Warp, ULE Warp, and Halo-B, and 88 tank their immediate reation is that I shoot a cinder block with a nice trigger.
