Warp user input please

[1stdeadeye]

I love my warp. I alternate between that and my vert feed depending upon how lazy I am. After all it takes an extra 30 seconds to hook the warp feed up!

I like it for the speed and lower profile. The downside is the batteries. It is one more thing that can die during a game.

All in all, I like it!

I know if you get a Warp ULE body you have to cut a notch in your rail to fit it. Is there anyone who provides this service?

Warps are all about personal preferences. I have one and so does my neighbor and about half of the people who have held our guns say they love it, the other half says it gets in the way. The best thing to do is find someone with a warp and hold their gun to see if you like it.
Performance wise, the warp works great. I have some trouble with batteries(i have to unplug the batteries from the warp when i'm done to prevent them from dying) but i think there is a way to fix this. The only other problems i've seen are the soldering job. If you arent careful, the wires might get pulled out from the battery peice.
I found out that warps are great for bunkering. They give you a certain amount of paint in the warp so when you got to bunker, even if the hopper doesnt feed you are garunteed about 15-20 balls still feeding. Once you get used to the warp, you wont want to play without it. About 5 days ago my batteries went dead(hadnt remebered to replace them) and i had to use a regular feed and my gun felt all off.
Biggest bonus for me is i couldn't shoot out the left side of bunkers because it is my weak side. Now with the warp, i can just tilt it left and lean and its much easier/more effective

Havoc Online does this. He modified my warp with an on/off and big cell conversion to make the batteries last longer. PM him for details.

Tip #1 I always put fresh bateries in my warp and put the old warp bateries in my revie...then the trash. You need fresh ones for sustained high rate of fire (olike 16bps). I always take it completely apart and clean it, lightly oil the disks and check the solder points. I soldiered all new wires to have a heavier gauge. I love it and will continue tournies playing with one. I have almost no profile with it. The only thing I dont like about it is when someone on the other team has one

Here is a pic of me in a tourney last Sunday at Apoc in WI. I owned that side of the field every time. Nothin nut hoppers and face masks.

ya Jayloo i rember at the CCP 3man you were runnin the warp and ownin with it.

i'm runnin a warp curently and i play front and i honestly love it because when i'm playin left snake(i'm left handed warp on the right) its nice because they would only see my barrel and a lil of my head + when i'm shooting over the top of bunkers i just tilt my gun and take em out

I had a warp I loved it no down sides for me atleast the only reason I got rid of it was because I traded it with my last gun for my viking (planning on getting another one soon).

[tony3]

Sniper did you play the ccp 3 man on march 14th? By any chance do you remember the freakin Puerto ricans?

[the123]

i started using a warpfeed when they came out because of the rof i could maintain with out running my loader dry and chopping. The hopper off the top of the gun was a bonus. the negative side to the warp is shooting left(if you are a righty). my left shoulder suffered because of that. also, try to envision yourself running down the left tape of a field shooting at someone on the right side. there is no good way to hold that gun AND run in a normal manner.
high humidy and rain makes paint soft and tacky sometimes which CAN jam the flow of the warp. if it is raining out, and you are between games, run the paint of out of your warp until you play again, they can swell up and cause problems. The battery and on-off mods are definately recommended.

I run a warp-left setup and I love it. The biggest advantage has to be the ability to shoot at odd angles. You no longer have to switch hands when changing sides of a bunker because all you have to do is turn the marker on its side.
I play front most of the time and as i've said in my initial impressions- its an idea upgrade for a front player. Other positions it may not make such a dramatic difference.

I was reading the Warp thread in the tech forum and it kinda makes me iffy, the thing sounds kind of fragile. If something goes wrong on the field I won't be able to pull Havoc out of my pocket to fix it.

If I get it, I would use it in conjunction with a RT Pro with a ULE left body. But as far as loaders go i don't know.

Would a Revy be good enough with a mech marker setup or do I have to go for a HaloB, whats optimal?

[Havoc_online]

The Warp is not fragile at all, it's very reliable. If something goes wrong, it's more likely to happen while you are doing something to it(not playing) imo.

You have to understand that ppl with warp problems have almost no where else to go for quick answers, that's why that thread seems cluttered. There are hundreds of happy users that have no problems what so ever.

good to know

thanks i'll have to do that next time i got some money.

[1stdeadeye]

Check Havoc's site!

For the on/off and big cell he only charges $28 shipped! If you do it yourself, he'll sell you the parts even cheaper. He did a great job repairing my butchered Warp!

[openboater]

I used a warp for a long time and loved it. Only switched for simplicity. They are not fragile. If you tie wrap the wires to the side of the case for strain releif, they never need to be soldered again. I posted pic's of the mod in tech form a year or more ago.

I switched to a 9.6v mini-car battery from radio schack and put it in the pucket of my tank cover. lots of power and rechargable.

It takes some break-in and it is not plug and play, but soon you'll have it all figured out. Go with intelli-feed link from trigger to warp, not giggle senser.

You have to learn to feed balls before you shoot (white button) and how to empty the thing, etc but you'll never get another hopper hit, but mask hits will increase. Afterall, the hopper used to block for the mask.

Oh yea, it you're a righty, I suggest doing what I did. Use a PFHL body, modify the bracket by extending the screw holes so the bracket runs down the center line of the marker, then there is just enough room for the revie on the left side and the hose runs up the right side to the bottom of the PF body. the warp is perpendicular to the marker. Better weight distribution and the hose is easier to route.
