e-mag and tournaments?

[SpecialBlend2786]

I always thought that the best way to use them in a tourny was to take out the trigger rod, making it impossible to bounce or switch to a mode other than e-mode.

is that dj89 in the middle?

i don't really like the trigger rod idea simply because it'd be a real hassle should my battery die for whatever reason. i'd rather keep that in there and just put the switch on for a second to put into manual between games.

You CAN make the gun legal, by ALL definitions of the rules.
Lets look deep into it.
The SHBF would need to be set on it's minimum setting 4. (like turning debounce off) Also the ROF would have to be set on it's maximun of 20. Personally, I like my trigger loose and very light. With those settings, I get periods of full auto due to the mechanical bounce of the gun. A referee at a chrono could easily make my gun double and triple fire by easing the trigger back slowly. The the trigger would then need to be set very stiff.
All X/RT Valves should be chronoed per the manufacturers instructions. (hold trigger's on-off pin in and measure the next shot) To do this and get the true velocity, the trigger rod would need to stay. Which would then take us out of the tourney because of hybrid.
Without modifying the gun after the ref chronos it (taking the trigger selector switch off), a 68 Classic valve could be used in the E-Mag instead of the X/RT Valve _without a trigger rod_, to pass the chrono. Due to the fact the Classic valve doesn't require that chronoing method.
So after all that hoopla, you could pass even the strictest chrono judge. It may not be pretty, but thats life.
btw the Classic valve with ~850psi input will do 14bps very nicely (enough for me )

[trains are bad]

you can do the proper chrono procedure without the trigger rod by shooting a couple shots rapidly and having the second one go over the chrono.

.. since you both are in the same team the X gave him away .. hehe

Now, so removing the trigger rod will eliminate the possibilty of bounce? ... is that correct?

Corret me if Im worng but you can do 1 of 3 things

- lower your input pressure
- isolate your selector switch into E mode
- remove the "mech" trigger rod.

Really, theres no legal way of doing it. Technically, to chrono an emag you need to turn it into mech mode and chrono it rt style. Take out the rod you can do this, take out the selector switch you cant do this.

emags are great markers...

I have played 5 or so tournaments with my old one and I loved it. Never had a problem, just gassed up and played.

My dm4 rips, but it's no emag

i've been to the Nepl and ive seen some one shooting an emag when i was rocking my rt ule.

... why do you have to do that... I mean with the rod taken out its lil hard to chrono it mech...

[tony3]

Therefore illegal because in order to chrono an emag you should do it RT style because it uses an rt valve.

I'm hoping on with Joey D's team from here.. They were playing 3 man thru the PNL league, Team Mint I believe. I think they came in 4th for the year.. We're playing 5man NEPL next season and are using this one to gear up to that next year.. Myself, Joey D, Mossman, Curly (who i believe isn't playing this one), Oldsoldier, and a few other people (gonna keep an alternate or two). Should be a good time

Not that it really matters but a little clarification: I think instead of Curly you mean me. =) Curly has said he'd be willing to practice with us from time to time but is looking at playing elsewhere last I heard. Sniper1rfa has also been a great contributor to this team all season long, playing so hard he dislocated his shoulder..

the mech chronoing isnt absolutely necessary if you do like someone else mentioned and shoot a string with the second shot over the chrono. correct me if im wrong, but i do believe that pride didnt have their trigger rods in and were still able to chrono.

the team name, is team mint. yes, our 3 man team placed 4th overall for the PNL series.

our roster is as follows

myself
riot[z-grip] - pat
remington - john
sniper1rfa - drew (currently our with dislocated shoulder injuries due to awesome superman into the snake 2 tournies ago)
mossman - sam

trying out for our 5-man roster: (though, I have every bit of confidence that they will be selected to play the 5 man series with us)

oldsoldier - bill
rkjunior303 - rob

so, thats the roster. correction of robs post. I have nothing to add here about the legality of your emag for the nepl tourney. doesnt matter, you'll be shooting a viking by then.
