E/X-Mag 4.0 software, update?

Start naming the "problems."

well if nothing else, the main problem of the solenoid not being able to keep up with 20bps.

Hi tech,

Why do you prefer the Emag over your Hyperframed mag?

[Dayspring]

20bps isn't the problem. 20bps+ is the problem. And right now, no hopper can reliably feed much faster than that besides the Halo.

The reason why other guns can cycle as fast as they do is b/c they use the solenoid to channel air from one side of a ram to another. You don't see the Emag doing that. We have to physically move something with mass & weight.

Tom said he had to turn down the reactivity with the ULT because it would be way too easy to bounce.

Tom also said the ULT would not work in a E/X-Mag because there is not as much reactivity as the standard on/off to return the solenoid back for the next shot so it actually slowed it down.

Does a shorter, lighter pull = the solenoid moving faster than 20 times a second? If so... why not make a special ULT that has full force reactivity for E and X mags?

If shorter and lighter pull doesn't make a solenoid move faster than 20 times a second, well forget I posted this then.

I don't thint it's possible to make a ULT with higher reactivity. Higher reactivity would require more pull force as well. Although, with the ULT you could use a smaller soleonid (like the hyperframe), that requires less return force, can cycle faster, and probably runs off a 9v. It would require building a completely new grip, but it would be able to retrofit to any RT-valved mag with ult. I'm sure Tom has thought about this, but my guess is that the whole SP thing is holding AGD back from constructing a new electro.

Which is exactly why AGD should take a serious look at developing a hybrid pneumatic assist mag like this:

How is pneumatics going to help fix the current problems?

Yes, the company that makes the solenoid happens to be in the same city where I live. I've tried to contact them but so far nothing.

Do you know what their web address is? or, do you know a web address for someone who sells their solenoids?

I'm assuming you know the companies name? Could you post it?

Thanks.

BTW, I forgot... who's the one with that 20 bps Hyperframed mag? There was a video of it I think...

(searching)

oh yeah! I was Hitech heh heh

20 bps hyperframe (videos)

The vids are down now.

Sorry guys, I have very limited disk space and very limited band width. I needed the space for something else. I'll see if I can get them back up.

Okay, they should work until my bandwidth is exceeded (which will happen soon). I suggest right click and save.

I have never understood this hybrid mag crap. First, the ULT is out, so why bother with a smooth mech trigger pull when we already have one?

The second mag is nothing more than an "ebladed" mag with another LPR?

I sure wish someone would desgin a mech frame that had some kind of lever mech assist that would further decrease the ULT's trigger pull.

Finally,
have any of you felt a classic with a ult? I find it really smooth and extremely light..... its so close to an electro i can almost taste it!

working on it should have something in a month or so maybe later... will let you know although it may add a few onces to the over all pull weight it should take a noticeable amount of the total distance of the pull
