Do Warps actually work?

[digitard]

At one point it was an Emag w/ Halo, warp, STEEL 68/3000 tank and a boomstick ... talk about heavy! lol.

[personman]

Or you could put a HALO on the warp.................

Well, even the halo needs to be tilted SOMEWHAT upright. It cant feed for long at a 90* angle because there needs to be balls in the cone.. You could put a q-loader on a warp.. but that would be pointless

[vf-xx]

I had a warp on my Emag, and now on my RTP. I've never had to mess with my battery leads. I reccomend a bigcell mod or tracking down a 10.8v rechargable pack (I made my own).

Note on hopper: If your hopper is full I've found that my Xboard Revvy with an Evil Impeller will feed consistantly with angles up to about 60*

Well.. I think Im in the same boat you are.

I loved the q-loader, the idea, the placement, all of that. I took a pod apart to see how it worked, put it back together... custom mounted it. Pain to load, so I built a custom loader using my ricochet. The 100 shots didn't bother me... I was playing, came up, and the SOB refused to load - so I took the pod off and the next one failed too - was breaking paint going into the breach too (my fault, fed tube direct in rather than with 90 degree bend). The tube came off from time to time, promptly unloading 100 rounds. It would fail to spin and load... then the pod came off and met a bunker - and broke and the spring came out and tangled.. then I sold the rest of the system far far away.

I loved the warp... until I got into a humid day and the paint was excessively big (.695 barrels were failing to shoot it all). Then again I was missing shots I felt I should have had... BTW - the warp is much stronger than the Q-loader shell. So is the Ricochet Apache for the record but thats another story.

In answer to your question, if you are a patient person and can avoid abuse of your equipment than the warp is a great thing. I buy my equipment to play with - it gets no excuses and must work for me... it gets crawled with, pounded on bunkers, nose dived into bunkers... and generally abused. When it fails to work sometimes pounding it on the nearest bunker forces it to submit... all my equipment that I currently use has passed this test... at least for now. And you all wonder why I like AGD stuff?

Well, Lohman, if you ever have giant paint again, there is one thing you can do to help the warp feed it. If you know that the paint is going to be huge all day, then you can make some spacers for the discs. I've never done it before so I'm not exactly sure how to do it, but its a solution. The only drawback is if you change back to small paint without taking out the shims then you will have problems feeding..

Here's a quote from hitech:

Take the warp apart, remove the disk "pack", take it apart and use tape on the hub to space it out some. Or you could make a shim from thin cardboard (like a cereal box).

Here's a quote from hitech:

Hah, I usually have problems the other way. I tend to run insanely small bore paint and i had to put shims on the other side of the wheel to get it to work.

What you can do is make your shims out of construction paper. This makes them removeable and you could even put them on the outside of the wheels for small paint.

Downside: Taking your warp apart completely before a day of play.

i just got a warp and when i put it on my timmy it didn't feed on every shot. took the little window off and adjusted the sensitivity. no biggie. and then the thing was rocking. normally my egg doesn't feed constantly and my eye delay kicks in and i waste time waiting for a ball to drop in the breech. but this thing was constant in the feeding, plus it was so comfortable for me right outta the box. i loved the fact that i had the gun horizontal snapping at people and i could get a short string of shots out. i love this thing. can't wait to get another one for my spyder.

[ilikePB]

i'm really wanting warpfeed but i have one question. i have a freestyle and they have very little kick, will the warp be able to pick it up? freestyle kick is comparable to that of a matrix. thanks for the help. oh weight, i guess i have more than one question. how many bps does it load stock? w/ big cell mod? w/ 12v mod? thanks for the help.

[firebanex]

I love my warp.

they feed about 16 stock and a tiny bit faster with the big cell (the big cell just gives you double the battery life) and it feeds about 24 with the 12v mod.

[ilikePB]

hmmmm, 16 isn't quite fast enough, i'd have to do the 12 volt mod. Anyone know if the warp could pick up the vibration from a gun with almost no kick?

[personman]

The warp has adjustable sensitivity. The level 10 mags have very little kick and it works fine on them. If you have to make the warp too sensitive though, it will spin every time you touch it.. but I dont think the freestyle has THAT little kick. If all else fails you can rig up an intellifeed.

I talked to someone who is just getting into paintball today, and he said something I thought was kinda funny. He never saw a paintball gun before, and when he saw vert feed markers, his first reaction was that the hopper was in a stupid location. He saw my warped EMag, and instantly thought it made more sense.

I've been using a warp for a while, and I don't want to play without it if I don't have to... it works for me.

Warps are very sweet, but if your a sterotype bps person its not for you.
Pros : Always tight, no matter how you play a bunker.
Fast
Holds a few more extra rounds

Cons : Heavy weight to the side it hangs on
Has to be self modded to feed 22+, will not out of the box (14 - 16)

If you can get past the weight its great. I used a revy(have to drill a hole in it) you can get a extram rage 9v hopper for only 26 bucks spanking new, all you need in somekind of feed going into the warp, not a expensive hopper.

[Bad_Dog]

Well cosidering that I'm a Warpaholic, and a goroo for the tight setup, I'd say try it... find a used one, that way its cheaper... and if you dont like it, you can sell it for what you bough it for (100% resale value)...

not to mention that I'm such a fan to manufacture the metal warp adapters, which also work with the umm.... *cough* Q loader *cough* as you've shown :)

PS: you owe me that picture so I've added it to my Dealers thread :)

Bah! My stock warp does 20bps no problem. I run a HALO on it as well.
