    Well, switch it over to mech...that should lover your firerate somewhat.

    Or you could just learn to not be so trigger happy. I know it's hard, but if you have to...

        I was gong to say the same: switch to mech. It's one of the greatest options the E-mag has! Then you can make fun of the other guys for not having the option.
        The arrogance of other people annoys me. My own doesn't bother me a bit.

          Before anyone freaks out over this statement... this was told directly to me (the only for emergency part) buy AGD's own John when I asked him why the mech mode didn't feel that great.

          I guess either the "learn to shoot slower" thing will have to happen although I don't know how anyone could do this when they get all excited.

            i had the same problem with my X

            so i bought a 10 pod pack and a 114/4500 tank :)


            from the judge in the WDP v Sp case.... " i find it significant that aside from a somewhat limited notebook produced by gaston, the four named inventors offer NO documentation of there work or there contributions to the conception or reduction to practice of the claimed invention"

              Hey man, go with the Sniper2. That will probably be a whole lot of fun out there, too! I would keep the X around, too, for a few of the trips out between breaks, though. Sometimes you just want the firepower, ya know.

                I think you nailed it as to what your problem is in your first post:

                You are not used to woods play just yet. It's not the emag at all. I can tell you that I LOVE a fast gun. My blazer is capable of being VERY fast indeed. However, I've trained myself to use only 3 to 5 rounds per burst when I'm shooting at a target. Sometimes it'll take 20 rounds, but that'll be between 4 and 6 bursts at 3 to 5 rounds per burst. It's the speed I use in the burst that I like, though .

                I liked the idea another guy had: switch it to mech mode and use your emag then. It'll keep your ROF lower and thus in the time you stick your head and gun out to shoot you'll shoot less and get more used to shooting less per burst to hit a guy. Then once you've trained yourself to shoot much less, then you can go back to electro and snap shoot 3 to 5 rounds in a burst and nail the sucker who was unlucky enough to get into your sights .

                It's all about training yourself. But you do have a point there: the emag on electro mode isn't the best marker for moving from speedball to woods with. Now, with it in mech or hybrid, then maybe you can more easilly train yourself. I recommend you keep playing with your emag and maybe you'll get much better in the woods :).

                Enjoy playing in the woods, man . I love it, and I hope you'll eventually love it as much as I do (even if you still prefer speedball overall. nothing wrong with that, after all) :).

                  story- my friend john and a few guys (11) had a mission to be drop at the other teams base by chopper/ref w/ a rope (low buget chopper). so we get there and its total hell, but we finf a nice place to wait it out(not hide lol)
                  but i get hit so i kinda watch john and he gets up(him vs 12) and he gives em the hell from his 3 ball a MIN pump... yea he got welts.

                  well i say just stay with a mech
                  Hard work never killed anybody...but why take a chance?

                    Granted, it's not a high end electro (or even an electro at all), but I have a similar problem with my GTV1. I can only use it for speedball, because I can't seem to control myself on the trigger - I'm not used to its 1 lb pull yet (can't wait until I get the lever mod done to drop it to a couple of ounces, if I can make parts that small). I use bursts as well, just can't seem to stop (more bursts, more bursts, more bursts) and change position if I haven't them hit in 3-4 bursts - I just keep firing. My Stingray with its 5 lb trigger pull seems to work best for me in the woods.

                      I'm not sure I'm willing to go quite that far to lower my rate of fire.

                        but imagine the size of your forearms after a day with that trigger. :)

                          Problem No. 1 - Don't Listen to Jon!!!!!(just kidding BRO) I have used an SFL in mech for a big game at last year's Mega(micro)Meet, there were no problems.

                          Problem No. 2 - Don't worry about the mech mode, this gives you a perfect opportunity to buy an RTP

                            well, with my b2k that I had I could shoot quite fast But if you wait to shoot and dont just fire away at the first thing that moves than you save you paint. Or else I've found that once I start firing and have a string of paint going its hard to stop Also I always put the safety on than took it off when I was getting ready to shoot , it works but if you have to shoot real quick your kinda screwed. (mostly though it was because that damn light always gives me away )

                            Help me solve my problem with my lvl 10!!!!!!!!!
