Observation in PB magazines

[BeaverEater]

i used to chop atleast like 5-10 times a day with my lx emag, and i had my cyborg for the same period of time and never chopped a single time. I only had like 4 barrel breaks and all came from the same box of crappy paint. and i bet i put around 100 cases of paint through each gun. the cyborg never chopped, and i bet the emag chopped around 100 times. both running v35 halo board, and both shooting the same field paint.

edit: oops not 1000, 100

Thats weird cause I got about 25 cases thru my E-Mag with level 7 and a warp and I havent chopped one Yet. Less paint with my X-Mag level 10 but still no chops. Your lvl 10 wasnt tuned right.

Peace Out

BORG this BORG that. See what I put up with folks. Scotty you don't keep anything long enough to dial it in. Gun whoring at its finest.

[BeaverEater]

no i had my emag for like a year, and it was tuned just great. And yes borg this borg that only cause it is an amazing gun. I cant wait to see how my dm4 will compare to it.

I don't believe it was "just great" bud, but to be all fair the borg worked well for you.

Beavereater: Did you ever bother to check your detents. Put some thought into it. If your running a victory board at the correct setting there is no way you could outrun it with your emag. So how on earth did you chop? IMO the only cause could be the detents. Should have checked it out.

No use in reasoning with him. He has been assimilated. He is now Beavereater of Borg. Reasoning with him is futile. He has turned agaist his mag roots.

Why can we just blame it on the real problem. Blame the government of course. Its a big conspericy to get the aliens to go away.

But honestly, out of 2 cases through my X-Mag (including high end brittle shelled paint to 5 month old cases) I have yet to break a ball in my gun or in the barrel, although I have had some interesting cases of when the ball would break right when it left the barrel, and leaving nothing in my gun/barrel.

[nastymag]

Damn....

How Many of you guys actaully use tourny paint ? i dont mean some brittle stuff, i mean special ordered ULTRA EVIL. We had one batch of paint that would break on anything except my teammates DM4 with the Halo on the lowest setting, and even then it was a little iffy.

after owning as many guns as i have i have come to the conclusion that guns will break paint at some point no matter what.


Angels = Paintroll back, misadjusted ram. (older models just one detent)

Impulse = Crappy eye logic that couldnt see two tone paint (older version)

Timmy = detents and and misadjusted ram.

Automags = lvl10 not tuned, detents on twist lock, or in case of ULE, that thing that angels kinda suffer from, 1 detent.

Ego's = welll havent had mine long enough to run into issues.

Old Shoe box Shocker = eh ...never broke paint, ever.... then again i could stick my finger in there and barly feel it getting hit.

Autococker (eblade) = low on batterys, eblade settings, blowback from bolt.


i just think it's funny you guys swear by eyes, or lvl 10.

i have owned it all, honestly, ive run into issues with both.
i assure you the reason you see pro's in the magazines with paint dripping down there barrels is because of brittle paint. Besides, most of the time its pretty easy to shoot thru the break.

[Beemer]

Then its all about the PAINT

after owning as many guns as i have i have come to the conclusion that guns will break paint at some point no matter what.

Agreed.

Lets have paint that will break when you look at it FORCE feed it at 15bps and then when you cant shoot it its because your gun is crap

Eyes are over rated.

Emag no eyes warp feed and lvl7 and if the paint is Half way DECENT Im good

i have had the best luck with not breaking paint, with my vikings, and old school shocker.

My trixes, would get an occasional end of halo break, the angel got barrel breaks out of the box, but, i hav since played with the dwell/lpr and it hasnt given me any problems yet. Timmys, ive done ok with, but, occasional breaks. Ego, seems a lil rougher on paint than most, brok occasionally.

well, could go on and on, but, basically, EVERYTHING i have owned had gotten occasional breaks with the exceptions of my vikings (which, i probably had 2 or 3 chops between my 2 vikings in 2 years (mabey a lil longer) and probably over 100 cases of the good, the bad, and the ugly. And my old shoebox shocker that would shoot anything thrown in it with no problems.

How fast? Faster than Lohman446's Devilmag or my Predator Emag? No, I think I could agree with the reason being said earlier. They must be using very fragile paint. That would account for ball breaks in the hopper, breach, and all the goo rolling out the barrels.

this is where most people are wrong.. you sit there and say that your gun is fast, sure, but are you sitting there in NXL full auto or PSP ramp in 50 degree weather with rain and diving left and right and occasionally hitting the hopper first? i didnt think so. i can honestly say, that 9 times out of 10 if im shooting straight semi that i will never chop, but when we do tournaments and im rolling 15 ALL day long, that i get more chops because the hopper doesnt have a chance to settle the balls right.

[BeaverEater]

I mostly used tourny paint when i go because thats what is usually the best deal at the field. and yes my detents were fine i checked them. But after shooting solid paint all game, the halo is never perfect.

I can honestly say I have never hit the hopper first on any dive, but I guess I care about the equipment I use. I use my body and not the marker on slides/dives. But your not the only one that plays in PSP mode all day long, sometimes in inclimate weather/rain and sliding/diving into bunkers. I just never have problems. Most of the time the paint in the halo looks like toilet with industrial flush swirling down the pipe. These pros must use some special otterly brittel paint. Any place around the area here. You buy the best tournment paint per field and it works just fine. I also spend countless amount of hours fine tuning between tournaments/practice days. Checking,rechecking,cleaning, lubing everything making sure everything is 100%. I'm very anal about its state of tune. It has to be the best it can be, perfection. I just do it for fun. I'm no pro, but the tune of my equipment could be if there is such a thing. Very embarrassing to have the marker malfuction, break alot of paint and be just a total pig at the end of the day. I demand more and the mag just doesn't let me down. In a couple more week I'll have around 2k in the Emag, but it performs like a million bucks. As long as there is parts and it continues to be the trooper that it is. I will never consider anything else.
