which is a greater necesity(sp?)

[Orion33]

i have a minimag (lvl 7 bolt) with powerfeed...im shooting regular co2, and i dont have an exp chamber...would it be more important to get an exp chamber or an electronic hopper (i.e. 12v revy)...

i have a remote coil to use for now without an exp chamber..but i hate using it cause theres nothing to rest on my shoulder

[Orion33]

it also has blowback..which makes it a little faster then average feeds...

theres a scenario game this weekend coming..if they dont have an exp chamber for minimag..im going with hopper

[evan123]

Alright for one mags are blowfoward.

I wouldn't invest in a new hopper just yet unless you are out shooting your stock hopper. Mags where built on c02 so its not a problem there. Just for now get a revy and upgrade your mag later.

[Orion33]

do mags need their own type of exp chamber?

and would they be cheaper then a revy?

i was thinking maybe the cheaper of the 2 and a drop forward...the guy at the store told me mags are pretty bad for freezing up w/co2...which suprised me considering how old the design is

[The Spanish Inquisition]

1.) Just mount your bottle vertically and don't buy anything.

2.) same as 1. but get a lvl 10 upgrade.


3.) get an expansion chamber on ebay $35 bucks. + 10 $for a cool drop forward. just make sure the drop forward is at a steep enough angle or you may still have some freeze problems.

4.) if you are outshooting your hopper. Move around more often!!!!!!!

[Orion33]

i thought an exp chamber would eliminate freeze problems?

[Enemy]

expansons only helps..do what the old school magers used to do mount the tank vertical then run it through a couple of feet of ss line ziptied in a cool little circle..now onto the rest..if its a minimag then the verticle asa should be on there if that is true then just run a tank off of that and get a revy..remember the expansion chamber is only a temporary fix if you plan to get a nitro tank..i dont see why not they are getting to be pretty cheap. and the extra house actually does work so you should get away with a horizontal mount.

[Destructo6]

If you have a bottomline, you could run an anti-siphoned tank + the expansion chamber. That should take care of CO2 problems while giving you a shoulder rest.

[Orion33]

is it possible to overshoot a stock hopper without fanning the trigger...or even doing that?

[GoatBoy]

It's possible (and easy) to outshoot a non-agitated hopper. Especially if you get a paintball traffic jam in there and you have to shake it to get it to feed.



If you're going to get an expansion chamber/anti-siphon setup, get an official AGD expansion chamber/anti-siphon kit.

[Orion33]

im deciding on

i could trade my tanks and get nitro, and possibly a drop forward

or

get an exp chamber and a drop forward

or

an electronic hopper

[Orion33]

i was just talking to the guy on the phone..im thinking about getting anti-siphon, that way i could probably squeeze in an electronic hopper and drop forward..but i hear they cause problems or something...is there a risk to the gun w/ anti-siphon?

Do you actually know what an anti-siphon is or are you just taking someone's word over the phone for it?

[Thermus]

Sell everything you can and get nitro. Its honsetly the best thing you can do for your marker.

I'd go with anti siphon and expansion chamber. Keeping liquid CO2 out of your gun is more important than an agitated hopper. I doubt you can outshoot a regular hopper as it is. It will feed 8 or 9 BPS and you can probly only shoot 5 or 6 BPS. Just shake the gun if the balls jam up and you just "agitated" your hopper for free.

While an Automag can take liquid, it stops operating correctly if liquid gets in there. Most common problem, it stops shooting because the on/off gets frozen up. It doesn't hurt anything but you have to let the gun warm up before it shoots again which is a real pain when you are taking fire and your gun stops working. Repeated freeze ups will shorten the life of the o-rings.
