Who here has Pre Ordered their pred board?

[WARPED1]

Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way saying the mag sucks because, well, it doesn't. I've owned a few over the years(in fact I just found about 4 boxes of mag stuff in my attic, including a full RTClassic and enough parts to build 3 full mags. Stay tuned for a massive B/S/T thread after I look through it all).
It's just mags aren't eye candy or a hype machine, so kids today don't know that the mag is a great rec or scenario gun.

Yeah, thats all true, and its been said 1000xs before.

For people who love their e-mags, the Predator board will put them on a even playing field with the other uber guns.

The fact is, AGD was late into the electro market. They waited to see if there were going to be any issues, legal or other wise.

If it werent for the sue-happy mentality that is permiating the industry right now, im sure AGD would have up dated or refined the e-mag long ago. When the Xmag came out, i thought for sure that was the direction they were going.

Now we all sit and wait for a day that will never come. Many of us have already discovered the benafits of some of the newer guns and moved on. I always thought that taking the 'upgrade' path was nothing more than a waste of money. I remember throwing a few hundred bucks into my VM-68 back in the day, and it was still far lacking vs. the 68 automag. So, realizing my mistake, I bought my first mag and never looked back.

Now I feel things are different. The technology difference between high end e-guns is minimal at best... the real benafit is in the software that is running the guns. Even a gun that can CYCLE 30 times a second at best can only fire as fast as it is fed. Even at best it will be in the mid to high 20's (Maybe) and this is ONLY with the assistance of the software.

This is where the new Predator board will come in. I think that an Emag equiped with the Predator board TAG is proposing will have a nice advantage over many of the guns already out. How many have programable ramp? How many can adjust the eye delay specifically for the hopper you are using? How many guns can actually fire a ball at those speeds with consistant velocity, let alone no shoot-down?

Not to mention, adding on a few other goodies that most mag users have been clamoring for since it came out. (can you say "On/off switch"?)

Im sure that something as simple as a replacement board will not re-energize the paintball world about the Emag. I probably will keep more emag owners from trading up though...

just my $.02

Now if someone would just buy some of my stuff in B/S/T I'd be jumping on the bandwagon!

[Spacemanvic]

So how many are we up to now? Is 50 still the magic #?

It's really to bad that the mag is nearly non existent. Think about it, he sells 50 boards which would put 50 Emags on the field in America. Thats 50 out of 7 million players a year. The board will be cool for those that have an Emag, but it will in no way revitalize AGD. Sad really. I do honestly hope the 50 that buy the board rip apart some Intimidator or other shooters and enjoy it!:)

I'd like to see the looks on the faces of the 12 year old with the shiny Intimidator after an old guy with an Emag bunkers the hell out of him.

It is fun having the pred in an Emag, people just don't expect the marker to be that fast Especially when using one of the special modes, really messes with them. I'll be taking my Pred morlock out & replacing it with this so I can get the Xmag eye to finally work right. The on/off on the back & and a warp port are just a bonus :)

[rifleman wi]

well.. i know there not emags.. but heres 2 vids of the pred 2 in speeds to use as an example of how fast the board is...

Banshee, im curious, whats up with the ACE in your Xmag?


OH, BTW WARPED1, Bob mentioned that there has been interest from someone (company?) in buying the exclusive rights to the Emag board. It must be a good idea if someone is willing to do that... IMO.

[AGDlover]

OK who that put "soon" has officaly ordered theres so we can start adding on?

[BigEvil]

Maybe Zupe?

LMFAO. Keep dreaming. :-)

Bob even mentioned that he brought this subject up to Tom once, and he did his best to discourage him from doing it. Im not sure where Zupe would stand, Im not even sure he posts here or stops by at atll.

My money is on Coolhand.

If it is him, he will be right there at the top of my hero list.
