Convince me to buy an Emag

[liigod]

Hi, i currently shoot a force 5 sadridge autococker. I have been looking at the emags lately and i am impressed. There are a few things i am concerned about though, and i would like a few die hard agd fanatics to set me straight and explain why the emag is great in their mind.

These are my concerns
1) They have a good deal of blowback which would hinder performence on a vert feed model. I REALLY dont like power feed and will never shoot another. For me its vert left or right.

2) Chopping i see that emags chop with my regluarity than other guns. i have seen rts that become blenders. Is it possible to make an emag pinch, rathre than chop a ball like on an autococker.

On the up side i LOVE that they are stainess steel. More durable and heavier to keep yoru shot groupings tight. contact me on aim at liigod or email me at [email protected] if you would like to address any of these issues and help me out. Thank you for your time.

Get the emag extreme... Then you have a warp body for use with a warp feed and an ACE so you don't chop... The e-mag doesn't chop very much if you use it right and if you have a good hopper. It doesn't if you have vert feed or not, it actually feed BETTER with p/f when used with a halo...

Who said E-Mags chop?

[liigod]

ive personally seen them blender paintballs, one was an rt and one was a vert feed minimag with a centerflag frame. The video has powerfeed in it which i will never use. The reason powerfeed is so good is it solves the blowback problem at the expense of line of site. Thats why i want a vert feed halo.

You won't use PF cause it ruins LOS, but you are happy with a vert feed?

1.) The blowback is not that bad at all, and once the superbolts get the bugs worked out they are as smooth as angels. Plus you have the obvious benefit of AGD customer service and support behind you AND the manual/electric mode switch and the simplicity of the internal design.

2.) The chopping would only be due to an incorrectly setup warp, someone not used to the R/T trigger or incorrect paint to barrel match (or too high a veolocity). The GUN itself does not just "chop" out of the box! Or they wouldnt sell them and thousands and thousands of R/T and Emag owners would be returning thier guns. My Emag chopped when I first got it because my warp was timed wrong. BlackVCG helped me diagnose the problem (along with Miscue) and once I sent the gun to AGD and they fixed it, the gun just rips. As Im sure any Emag owner on this fourm will tell you!

I shoot a vertical feed E-mag and the only chopping that ever happened was when my hopper died in the middle of a game. Other than that I rarely chop and that when there are only a few balls left in my hopper and the paint feeding becomes irregular during rapid firing. I chalk that up as a hopper issue and not a gun issue. *cough cough* HALO

The bolts that come stock with them (longnosed) go a long way in cutting out blowback. I've never had an issue with blowback.

The reason why mags chop is because of people don't know how to keep a mag in top condition, then try to shoot as fast as possible. Keep the gun oiled, orings in good condition, and the emag will never chop, unless it's not it's fault

The only Sandridge I've seen did nothing but break paint, so you say they didn't know how to work it. Same with Emags.

That video, it makes me want an Emag.


If your not sure if you want an Emag, go shoot it.

Did anyone mention the sweet trigger?

They really dont chop much, and I dont know of any blowback problems with vert feed??? If I were you I would wait a while for the emag extreme to come out, they have anti-chop eye so you wont chop at all. Both of the situations you told about mags chopping were on mechanical guns that you can short stroke and that is probably what they were doing.

E-mag chopping "problem" is a myth!!! They will only chop if you outshoot the hopper, and that's true with any gun!!!

Except Epics! But you cant really outshoot the hopper with them so o well

well um, all your friends are getting them, you should too

Personally I don't think the p/f ruins line of sight. If you really want LOS, get an E-mag with warp body, or the extreme/sfl emag, with warp module.. THAT has awesome line of sight, much better than vert.

Chopping on mags? The only reason I chop on mags is the same reason why I chop on angels.. because I shoot too dang fast, and outshoot the hopper/ball stack (9v,12v,angel intellifeed, angel extreme 12v intellifeed, I outshoot them all in the heat of a game)... With the warp, I wouldn't have that problem, but I haven't had a marker with the warp yet.
