      IMO all electro's are EXACTLY the same in speed internal wise..... i think its all in the triiger weight/sensitivity for speed, oh and your finger skill too


      ...then again ive never owned an electro, only shot them and worked on them
      meh' a board might be important too......... or not really? for true semi does the board speed really matter? idn't it really just the noid?

      also the style of the trigger. the "S" style is supposed to be more atomacally correct because your middle finger moves less than your index. or a trigger like a cp that is at a 45* angle, easier to walk. frame too. the z or y grip are more ergomically designed so you can have your arm straighter. also cost and reliability and whatnot.
      those "S" triggers are the most ing difficult things for me.......
      i own a Z grip!

        No Here's why:

        1. Trigger design and tuning. This is the simple one. When your trigger is tuned for you, you'll rip on it a lot faster than if it's improperly set up. This also goes for trigger style. Some guns are designed with better triggers, while others are not. Rubbing of internal wires, hosing, etc will affect a trigger physically.

        2. Board design. All boards are NOT created equal. Some boards have better firmware than others - meaning that the software coders did a better job than others. It's the same as video games. Some companies produce better engines and coding than others, making games really great or kinda stinky. The same goes for boards. That's why a semi-auto S.O.B. board isn't as fast as a semi-auto tadao board. It's because with the Tadao, the code is written better.

        3. Board settings. Again, the S.O.B. board doesn't have many settings, while a Predator or Tadao board have many way to fine-tune and tweak the trigger and board, even while remaining semi-auto! Debounce, dwell, eye-delay, etc. - all of these have to do with speed.

        4. Internals. A stock Impulse will not shoot as fast or as nicely as an upgraded Impulse. Stock impulses, shockers, autocockers, etc. do not include the best parts in them, meaning that they have more friction, more kick, and less capability than an upgraded one. Think of the difference between a stock Subaru Impreza and a WRX Impreza. Huge difference!

        Now, I have no idea about Emag software, or anything like that. I like mags (though I like Freestyles the best!) but I'm not sure about their specs. Emags are nice, dependable markers, but they're certainly not the fastest, lightest or smallest. That being said, they're still a great marker.
        My AIM Intimidator is better than your Automag. Get over it.

          Mechanically E/X-Mags aren't slow, that's been said, blah.

          The biggest problem I've run into with my E-Mag has been the trigger, and because I'm unwilling to spend $50 on an upgrade trigger the trigger will remain a problem.

          The biggest difference between say... my Ion and my E-Mag is all in the trigger feel, and the Ion is definately easier to shoot longer strings at my best ROF than my E-Mag without dropping shots.

          This has also been said, so blah.

          There are certain guns which certain people can shoot faster than others, even with the guns being 100% semi-only just because of the way the triggers behave for different people. This is partially why aftermarket trigger plates are popular because not everyone can shoot fast on a stick/blade/double/Scythe/etc. trigger plate. Personally I find the most best triggers for me are the CP blade triggers and I would be absolutely tickled pink if CP made one of those for the E-Mag, they won't so I'll just have to live with that.
