Matrix or Emag?

[TheDoveDecends]

Id go with trix.. ive shot several of them and have fallen in love with them. In fact.. im buying a dye 2k3 trix (w/ evolve bolt & pbc lpr) this weekend. cant wait

Upgrades

How much would The 4.0 board and the Evo bolt run for?

[LittlePaintballBoy]

I'm not sure how much the Tadao Boards are ( www.matrixowner.com has info on them, PBN too, the guys screenname is FlipFlops) But the evlove bolt is around 140 or so. They aren't selling anymore in the US, though

Yeah, I just read about that. But dont Matrix LCD's come stock with an upgraded bolt for better efficiency?

Yes. They come with the Image bolt kit, which is a lot better. Depending on dwell settings you can make the Matrix more or less efficient. The best I have experienced is 8 pods and a hopper (Fatboys @140ish, and Halo B @ 180ish) off a full 68/45 without experiencing shootdown, however my dwell was very low and LPR was turned in quite a ways, so brittle paint isn't a good idea with those settings.

I think both are good guns. I think I'd go with a matrix tho over a stock emag because there is less kick and I don't see AGD releasing the 4.0 any time to the general public, so I'd like the rof I'd get off the trix

i'd get the emag because of the sick magnetic trigger pull. and the fact that it can go mechanical.

Here's the pbnation post on a matrix with different bolt kits showing how many shots you get with each along with their price. Good info if your planning on buying one.

That's great info! Thanks!

There are several magnetic and vert magnetic trigger frames available for the Matrix.

OMG, A matrix that isnt a gas hog.
*dies*
If they were cheaper I would have picked one up but for half the price of what I got my angel which is still too much marker for me.

I have to agree with TraXer when he says to shoot the gun first. That is what will really decide it for you.

By the way Black Tri Star.....The angel is up to 13,789
I cant wait till I get it back. Darn Vibe Timer.

either are mad fast get what you like
matrixes are maintenance hogs so take that into account. everything must be lubed and cleaned constantly or efficency and dependibility go out the window.

emags are tanks of the electro world.. too bad they arent gonna make them anymore...

Battle Lube is very thick, so you can actually go for months without lubing if your O-rings fit properly.

I love mags, but the electronic side of AGD is severely lacking as-is. Appearantly, they are shooting for releasing a re-designed emag in a year or so (depenging on how the SP thing goes)... Hopefully, that will be up to par with the rest of the market.

I think that the Devilmag has alot of potential in the current market, tho.


Given the choice between an emag and matrix, I think the trix would win out in my case, simply for the fact that the emag is going 4 years old and has barely changed with the rest of the market.

Not really bro, it's not so bad. As said before trixes go a while before lubing again, plus the assembly process is really monkey proof and it only takes a couple of minutes.

Compared to the E-Mag, sure the trix requires more maintenance but IMHO it's not a deal breaker.
