e-mag and tournaments?

[rkjunior303]

Now, I know they have been used but I have always wondered.... The local NEPL here in New England goes by NPPL rules, which state that any electronics need to be able to be locked so they can't be modified on the field.. How is an e-mag legal for tournament play if the modes can't be locked out? Has anyone run into this where the marker wasn't allowed, or am I missing that there is the ability to lock the settings?

Just curious.

The emag CAN be locked , put the marker in e mode and take off the mode selector

I have played in a tourney will my emag and Loved it , the tourney was small so We WERE aloud to use any mode we wanted

I loved it , The emag is a nice makrer for tounrey use , expecially with LX ,
When I palyed I have no chops and no barrel brakes

mode selector as in the switch to change from Manual to Electronic? How will that lock the ability to adjust the bounce, etc while on the field with the buttons (not that i would do it, but it is possible). Unless there is another thing on the board i am missing...

Emags dont bounce.... unless your input is too high then you have a RT issue.

There are no "modes" to change on an emag, unless you have a really early model with F/A, even then, thats done by playing with jumpers inside the grip. Like an angel and thier modes, you cant get to them unless you take the grip off.

Yea, they're not exactly field programmable. However, I have read somewhere on here that the sear rod is required to be removed for the NPPL. It may be another circuit, but I'm pretty sure it was NPPL. This ensures that the marker cannot be used when on mech mode and thus cannot be bounced.

just wanted to make sure before i got stuck on the field with a problem. thanks guys i planned on buying a secondary sear just in case so i could pull the trigger rod out.

as i understand it, the NEPL won't consider the marker illegal with the selector removed. since it is possible to bounce it with the hybrid, that would be your only hurdle. if and when i get some more money, i intend to use it the next time i play NEPL. i used my stock RTP at NH, and it did fine for me, but some extra speed would be nice. which team are you with?

[rkjunior303]

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

[Trunnion]

we should see you there. i played with mojo rising, and if i ever scrape enough money together i will again. we stand in 9th right now in the novice 5-man, but i think my captain wants to move to 7-man next season. we'll see what happens. maybe i'll see you out there next year

If you've got the new code then there are no "modes" and if you've got the older code then you can remove the jumper from the board and they will all be unaccessable.

[rkjunior303]

yeah, it's got 3.2..

[TheTramp]

Then you can mess with the buffering and ROF but I keep those at their highest levels anyway.

I know that the jumper is gone. Tunaman gave it to me when he flashed the gun at AONE so I don't know how you'd make the electrinics completely unaccessable.

When not in hybrid the E-Mag isn't very bouncy anyway so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

[rkjunior303]

true good point.. im not too worried just wanted to make sure i have all my bases covered

Emags and Xmags are the only markers My team uses
