emags still high end?

[BlackWeenie]

are emags still considered a high end gun? or are they middle?

[Skoad]

I would say middle.

I wasn't overly impressed with mine at all.

[-Tab]

I would say middle.

that kinda depends on the ups as well.

i would without a doubt consider mine high end - just because it's completely upgraded.

ALL stock e-mags can be consider middle in some people's opinion
1 - they can be super heavy
2 - w/ the old software, not tooooo fast
3 - w/ stock body, rail, battery pack, etc...can be quite ugly

I would say stock, Middle.

Get all ule and 4.0 software, lower or middle section of High End.

[Skoad]

what ups?

A)make it lighter
B)flash board

thats it. And I still wasn't impressed.


Pumping as much money as you can into it doesn't make a gun "high end." Emag still doesn't compare to many other guns, at least thats how I feel.

If your not happy with it I could take it off your hands

[Skoad]

it's been gone for a few months ;P

[Vash02]

Wait, so since you dont like it, it cant be high end? The emags i've seen are every bit as fast as many other guns i've seen.

[Adrenaline_Junkie]

I would say stock, Middle.

4.0 isnt available to the average joe

Id say middle if its stock, high if its totally upped.

here is my take on the emag.

There are sooooo many markers out there that are middle and there are many that are high end. Price aside, emag with all the ups is high end, but for that price you could prolly get a nicer trix, shocker, timmy etc etc.

At one point it was high end. It still is high end. But others are higher end for the same price.

It shoots fast. It doesnt break paint. It is easy to mantain. Emags and mags in general were one of a kind when they were the only ones to have these 3 qualities. Now alot of markers can do it!

how about the fact that its a mech an electro in one? High end, who cares, I got my main gun and if I lose power I have my back up with a flip of a switch, If the damn thing completly craps out I borrow a gun from one of my back men, between the 2 of em they have 8 guns.

no, it is not high end because there are soo many other markers that I think are better than it. "High end" means it is in the higher end of the marker spectrum.

And I could not fire my emag as fast as my dm4, not even close.

[BlackWeenie]

my take on this was: theyre still faster than anyone can pull the trigger legitemately, they dont chop, and have easy maintenance. now, they can be made light and have an eye but thats getting expensive. i guess what im getting at is that i think i'd classify them as "lower upper class".

really the only advantage of the "true" high ends is the capabilities. ie. angels with a cap of 30+ bps. when you think of it, that is really all that is changing as of late with the markers. they just keep building on the max bps. this really doesnt matter since a cap of 16 would do for most players and no one can reach 30 anyways. so if you factor out (stock) weight, and cost there really is no performance differences between all the high ends and the emag. except maybe that a lot of those operate at low pressure (big whoop).

anyways, keep the opinions comin! i never see this smiley so i thought i'd throw er in here

I'm with Skoad on the E-mags speed. Maybe it was just me but even with 3.2 I never could "get" the E-mag trigger. Maybe 12 bps at the most, and even then it wasn't very smooth. I can rip on my Angel or a DM4 much faster. Plus I didn't like the overall feel of the marker, I mean it is built well and solid but the fit and finish isn't really there when compared to something that rolls out of say WDP's factory.

[Skoad]

well if you want to get picky about it, emags don't have the greatest efficiency... especially with level 10.

It was much nicer when they first came out. Just like all markers they start to fall further down the longer they are out, due to newer markers being produced.


I have plans on building a custom emag when I start getting some income, so I don't hate them. I just think they are past their prime.
