    No idea on the software, but a viking is comparable to speed.

          Anyways, you really can't compare the trigger to much else because it operates in a different manner from every other gun I know of.

          However, it should be capable of at least 13 bps and all software that I know of is true semi only. With that software I'm not sure how fast it can go in Hybrid mode so I won't comment.

          I wouldn't say comparable with anything really. Most guns now come with ramping or at least a 15 bps cap so it is on the "slower" side. It cannot compete with a Viking in part because of the valve and in part because of the selonoid which I believe starts to die at around 22 bps. However, I wouldn't call 13 bps slow. But get the software updated so that you can get all the nifty features and get the shot cap up to 20+.

          Hope that helped.

          Also on a side note, when people see that you have taken time to create a post, they generally take time to reply... Good English is immensely appreciated by many on this site.

            1.32 is capped at 16 bps. So it is comparable to pretty much any modern paintball gun with popular tourney modes activated.

            the ease of firing and emag with a tuned trigger may take getting a bit use to.

            ...ever in the continual search of time dilation.

              very true

              my emag even tuned by emag was hard to get it over 14 bps

              with my viking on semi its soooooooo easy to get it over 16

                I have a very light trigger set up on both my emag and xmag.. I shimmed the magnet with an oring and some small peices of index cards. I used a hole puncher to make the peices.

                As far as what the gun can actually shoot... it is as fast as any other true-semi gun. The 3.2 software is capped at 20 bps. I have been playing alot more rec ball for the last few months in semi-only games and I have had no problems throwing paint at all.

                  What are you talking about? The only thing I have seen keep up with a mag is a viking, Zak's SFL and Some other guys (or maybe his) viking, the viking did I think 32 bps, and th esfl did 31 or so. And after a test or two, the mech mag went 34 bps.

                    You do know that the Selonoid can't handle 31 bps right? I think it maxes out at 24 or so and that is pushing it into the red zone. I will try and find the post where I saw this.

                      You're right about the selonoid but incorrect about the valve.

                      The valve can re-charge completely faster than anything out there. The "completely" part is the most important. Perhaps you could get another gun to "cycle" faster but you would in no way be getting 300fps out of it.

                      Soooo....while the E-Mag could theoreticly shoot at 300fps faster than other guns, the selonoid mechanicly caps it in the low twentys even if the software didn't (which it does )

                            Well, I know the mag can't go over 22 ish electronically, but in mech it can. THat is what I was referring to.

                              Ah, Z-man's rapid fire stuff... I get ya. Out of curiousity were you using a scooba? That makes much more sense because my other comment would have been you can't pull the trigger 31 bps.

                              *Edit*

                              On the PBNation post someone says with the Predator board you won't have to worry about a cap. Maybe not, but I wouldn't set any settings higher than 22 bps if you do. An E-mag going 30 bps might look cool for a little while, but I think it would be an expensive mistake.
