Warp Feed sounds like a pain...

[Creative Mayhem]

I've been considering buying a warp feed for a while, but I haven't been too impressed by what I've seen. It sounds like it requires a lot of TLC to keep it working proper. I'd like to know all the potential cons, as well as the pros. Also, I could go for some pictures of your setups.

Thanks in advance

TLC to keep it working proper?!?! I have never had to take mine apart other than for the Bigcell mod. I don't know where you got that idea, but they work fantastic with little to no maintenance.

PROS

- reduces profile, and allows for minimal exposure over top or around bunkers.

- no need to switch hands(for those unco-ordinated folks this is a plus) all you do is lean the setup on its side and fire.


CONS

- Weight and balance, can be somewhat cumbersome when running and can get heavy after a long day(Scenarios, etc)

Mostly from the manual. AGD is brutally honest in the manuals, they tend to make their products sound crappy.

i won a warp feed at AO norcal vs. socal on saturday night. i set it up today and played, and for some reason, it breaks balls in the breach. its never broken balls in the breach. same balls i used on saturday. so i got angry and frustrated, and took it off. but i couldn't take my valve out because i couldn't get my tank off because the regulator was separating from the tank when i tried to unscrew it. its my PMI air tank. the guage crapped out on friday, and now the reg is slipping.
anyway, i took my warp off. and put my hopper back on top, and it shot fine.

could the balls be breaking in the gun because i had 2 different kinds of balls going through it? i was useing GAP and x-ball bronze. they are two different sizes, so i hope its that, otherwise i will have to do some tinkering.

when it was going fine at first, i loved it. for some reason it made it easier to shoot.
then it broke a ball, and i couldn't turn the power feed plug because it would pinch a ball. and i didn't know what to do, then i got shot a few times.
i'm going to try just one kind of paint through it tomorrow to see if haveing 2 kinds of paint in it is the problem.

I just took advantage of the mb+free warp deal , i can't wait to get it! it arrives tomorrow!

Awesome. Let us know how you like it. I would suggest that you install the on/off switch with "big cell mod".

Click on the havoc online link in the post above yours, it's explained there. I did all the mods to my warp before I even took it out to play. Totally worth it. That damn battery cover doesn't stay on either, it's a terrible design flaw.

That is a great site, thanks for jewie posting it :)

Warps are a pain in the tush, but once set up, they work nice.

Ive had mine on for years with no probs. I play scenarios exclusivly and I hate to play with out the warp. My marker is actually balanced perfectly with the warp on it, and if you cant carry 10lbs for 2 days, start developing some muscles! Besides, a heavier marker won't stray as much as a light one. And Trains are Bad is right: ALWAYS Intellefeed! It will save you alot of frustration with low batts and low recoil markers. I will nevr stop using my warp, untill something better comes out which is not probable.

Same thing happened to my Warp last year. The soldering isn't that strong and the wires ripped off of the board. I had AGD fix it for me. (for a fee)

I suggest that when you redo your wires, leave a lot of extra slack in the wires. Also tape the wires up to the side of the Warp shell so they don't pull of the board.

Intellifeeding your Warp feed is the best way to run it. I've used to use the vibration sensor but it's not as good as intellifeed. It's better to have the Warp turn on each trigger pull, than it is for the vibration sensor to "feel" a shot then turn the Warp.

to intellifeed an emag ujust have to plug in a wire to the board right
