E-mags LX or eyes

I much more prefer eyes. This is the reason i prefer my viking to my 20bps hypermag. its lvl X hates me with a heated passion.

When the LVL 10 bolt system is tuned correctly it will preform exactly the same as a bounce/break eye beam system. When its not it will chop. Also the LVL 10 will stop working correctly at around 34.5bps as shown in Z-Man's videos. It will chop about 10 of every 100bps in the fastest shooting marker, the RT Mag.

Ohhh one last thing, if your hopper doesnt keep up it will chop. That was also a factor in Z-Man's videos.

Fact!

^^^^^^chop Not if its set up correctly.

The Level X isn't as good as eyes. If you're going all mech, that's cool, but if you're going tournyball and you need an electro, you better be using eyes.

When a ball misfeeds in a Level X Mag, it chuffs. The bolt stops, doesn't chop, goes backwards, the seer catches it, the valve recharges, the trigger resets and it waits for the next shot. It's essentially a blank shot - takes the same amount of time but doesn't fire any paint.

When a ball misfeeds in a system with eyes, the board registers the trigger pull but doesn't fire the marker since the eyes tell it the ball isn't fully chambered. The marker waits until the eyes tell it the ball's entirely in the chamber and ready to go, and then fires the ball if it's within a preset time from when the player pulled the trigger, regardless of what the player's done since.

There's less wasted time with eyes as compared to an anti-chop bolt, basically. If I were playing woodsball or scenarioball of some sort, my ideal marker would be an all mech ULE mag. For tournyball, I'd probably use an ebladed 'Cocker with reflective eyes. It's all about what you prefer, though.

I agree. Since I don't play much tournyball I think I'll be fine without the eyes.

On a side note, I was very glad to see all the responses in this post, even with differing views, not devolve into a flamefest. Nice to see that there are some places in the paintball world that are grown up enough to discuss things and not get into name calling.
Thanks

Once again some people are forgetting that we're talking about eyes in an E-Mag not eyes vs. L10 in general.

Is it worth the extra $200 plus to add eyes to an E-Mag?

Or the follow-up question: "I guess my queston really is does the LX work OK at high rates of fire? "

The answer is: Yes it works "OK" at high rates for fire. At 25 bps would I prefer eyes? Yes. Will L10 work also (if perhaps a little slower)? Yes again.

Ask youself if you'll really be firing at 25bps in a game. Do I? No. Do I think you will? No again.
