Matrix or Emag?

[black tri star]

I need some convincing on wheather or not I should buy an Emag or a Matrix, I've found good deals on Used ones and I am wondering what would be a good choice for a medium/back player. I've alreday checked out the models I'm looking into @ pbreview.com and I'm am just torn between the two, and need to see which gun is better. The models I am looking at are a 2k2 Emag and a 2k1 Matrix, both are cobalt color. Which should i get?

Neither. They arent terribly efficient guns, unless you get the evolve kit for the matrix. For back, you might be better off with a more efficient gun, like a Bob Long gun, viking, cyborg, or some other efficient gun.

I'd go with the e-mag just because their fast, reliable and super cool looking. They also have multiple upgrades and add ons if you're into that.

Well, I will of course say EMag, it may be a bit slower to shoot easy and it may be a gas hog, but you gotta love the gun, its freaking nice. Mech anti chop bolt, great customer service and its much rarer at fields. It may be cheaper for you too depending on what you get. It can be hellah light and you can get many upgrades for it. The reliability can't be argued about and the trigger can be perfect you YOU want it in any way. Plus theres like 3 or 4 aftermarket trigger you can get for it.

The matrix is just something I've never liked, I don't liek the look, feel, or the feel of the trigger. And that's not bias or anything, it's from experience.

So for the loyal AGD customer I am... Emag.

Then again, makes SURE you can try both guns before you choose, it SUCKS so much to buy a gun by just reviews to find out you hate it when you get it. Especially at the price for these.

Edit: Damn you people are fast, no replies, and when I submit mine ,theres 2 already. Sheez.

matrix hands down.. Trust me.. Just use one at your field.. Make sure it has the gun 20 chip in it.. And atleast a red bolt kit and you should have enough air for each game..

Unless you have a limit on paint.. Then I wouldn't get a trix.. Because you will find yourself going threw alot.. Also make sure you have a halo..

But trust me.. I've shot alot of guns from shockers, to trix's, to mags, to angels.. And by far the trix is the best.. The only downfall IMO is weight and somewhat efficiency but it's been improved with new bolt kits..

It is so fast though, with virtually no kick.. There a dream to shoot

I never thought the day would come that someone would say what you said in the last part of your sentence...

The trix. My X-mag became a back-up marker (a very expensive back up :o ) ever since I got my trix. Get a bolt kit and a decent tank and your set. IMHO they are really fun to shoot.

[Skoad]

Why not a dye 2k3 trix? Same approx price as a emag. I disliked my emag overall.

Trix

I went from an Xmag to my NYX, i've owned this Matrix for near 9months (longest I've ever owned a gun) and I haven't even considered looking back.

Matrix. I had an EMag, didn't really like the trigger feel and I was having bolt stick issues, and I just wanted to try something new. I traded it for a Trix, and holy crap am I glad I did. I didn't get the greatest effeciency, but it was fast, no kick, and it was for the lack of better term, the shizzle. Get one, you won't be dissapointed.

Matrix, hands down. Get the Evolve Bolt Kit and then get Tadao v.4 board

[LittlePaintballBoy]

Great deal

both guns have their strong points and weak points, I love(d) my 3.2 ule emag, It was low maintenence, very reliable and had an awesome feel to it. It was really light and well balanced, really comfortable to shoot.
BUT..
I kept shooting other guns and could not get over the overall smoothness of the matrix, the kick in non existent. Now I own a matrix v4 tadao with eyes, and it is inappropriately fast. THe gun is bigger and I use more paint, and is not as comfortable to shoulder as an emag. However shot to shot fps consistency is better making the shot grouping tighter.
both great guns..matrix is smoother but takes more effort to maintain
the emag is a tank that will never let you down..
You have to try them both and see what you like, dont listen to pbreview some of those posts are really biased.

He'll get more shots out of a Matrix. They go way deeper into a tank than mags.
