    Does anybody use their warp w/ a non-electro frame gun? I know a majority of mag users don't have e-frames, but do *they* use warps? I'm thinking of getting one for my orracle, but I don't have a race or e-blade yet.

      That's where mine kept breaking , after the second shell broke I took it off and never weent back.

        Your picture is a perfect example,no hopper yes, but what's right behind it? Your head.
        Yes, a head with eyes in it that can see to shoot. If I can have the same profile and get a wider field of vision, It's good. You imply that with a hopper, it the hopper wouldn't matter because it would be in front of his face; if it's in front of his face, he can't see as well. It's important to not get marked, but you also have to mark the other guy(s).

        I don't have a warp btw.

          I like the warp because it allows me to sight down the top of the barrel (when used with a warp ULE or warp breech). This puts my first shot closer (if not on) the target. With vertical feeds, you have to sight down the side of the barrel or move your sight line back and forth around the feed neck. With vertical feeds you do more "walking" the paint to the target.

            Hehe, actually Shatnerball last year I convinced Mike to get a Warp eventually. It was when I was crawling through the long grass on Shatners team side of the big field, bottom of my chin to the ground and still firing acuratly since my warped emag was pointed upright. :)

              I ran one on my Minimag RT for a year or so til I went Emag.

              Having 3 sets of batteries to check just isn't healthy. And two of the three (Warp and marker) would put me out of the game.

              That's why I plan on running mine through my emag battery. That way only my hopper and my emag batteries will have to be fresh.
              Sorry, I'm old

                  ok ok two things.

                  #1 in a bunker the warp is by far the best thing out there (please try for a couple of months before you give up)

                  #2 moving and shooting on field centre feed is best

                  BUT, it is something I did not think I would get used to but when you do.....ohhh man!
