    Hypermags??

    Hey, I'm looking to talk to anyone who has a Hypermag. I've got a XRTP (f/s if your interested) and I just might want to get a hyperframe for it instead of selling. Mainly, I'm wondering how fast they are. What firing modes, battery life?
    Owners groups - anything? Thanks for the info!

    One more thing: can they be easily walked?

    get the new 20bps board, its semi-auto only

    then throw in a lighter microswitch and it'll RIP


    stock board is capped at 13 with burst modes, semi auto, full auto, and turbo/hyper mode i think

      So what good is a 20 a sec. board if its capped at 13? Or does that change with the 20 a sec. board? Hows battery life, and can it be walked? Thanks for the info.

        No, the old style board was capped at 13bps.

        There is right now currently a new board out that is capped at 20bps.


        Battery life is around 15,000 shots or so. Depending on the on/off and battery and such. And yes it can be walked.

            where to get

            First off I would check her on AO I see them often in the Misc. Paintball Items The other option would be to go to http://www.centerflagproducts.com and get one from centerflag

                So the 'mag essentially becomes a great electro, minus the weight of the E-mag? Sounds good to me! I'm looking into trading my intelli for a hyper now. Thanks.

                  Keep in mind that it's not always a straight drop in upgrade.

                  Sometimes you need a new on/off pin from Centerflag (maker of the Hyperframe.)

                  If you have a ReTro/Xvalve that can handle it, I suggest the ULT. The big reason is that the big complaint of the Hyperframe is that it sometimes has problems pushing the on/off pin with a small solenoid. With the ULT, the weight of the pin is reduced and the 'noid has no problems.

                    ..

                    I've got micro switches that are so friggen light.. The one in my mag right now is a longer/lighter one.. I'd say it's atleast less then an 8th of the one that the people on here call the "super light microswitch" (The one that there was that thread on).. But ya.. I got the switch from a friend which I believe was from some computer part.. And then took the case from the superlight switch, hacked it inhalf.. glued the light arsh microswitch onto it and just screwed one end into the frame.. And oh boy.. That baby is hella sweet..

                    But ya..

                    In my honest opinion.. The stock microswitch, and hell even the supposed "super-light" one, is crap.. But.. If you can get a nice micro-switch, you'll be able to sling ropes around on the field..

                    ..

                    Moral of that long useless post..

                    Get a hyperframe.. I'm sure that if you rig up a nice micro-switch you'll love it..

                    BTW How much are those 20 bps boards?

                      Wow... I've already got a ULT. Works for me! Woulden't it increase battery life, considering that it would take less energy to trip the On/Off.

                      Also, where can I find a "super-light" microswitch? Somebody here making them? Thanks for the input.

                        search hypermag.. I think you should find a thread on them.. Although personally I wouldn't recomend that switch.. It didn't make much of a difference for me.. But.. I can't really remember what it was like before that.. What kind of trigger to you like? Longer/lighter or shorter/stiffer?

                            I think the new board is supposed to fix this.. Don't quote me on that though..

                            Maybe thats why mines been acting up lately ..

                              Personally, I'd just like a nice, short, walkable trigger. You can't really walk a ULT i-frame.

                              I would also like to know about the sear issue. Its always been my impression that the sear wears out faster simply because your shooting more paint. Shooting more, no matter what trigger frame, will wear the frame out faster. Hmmmm... maybe I should stop dry-firing all the time.
