Jim Drew's at it again...

Do you know how many watts an eMag solenoid draws? It is way over 8...

Maybe he meant boards that drive that type of solenoid?

I'd like to pridefully call out that I've said ramping with ROF limits was not only inevitable, but nipping a problem in the bud. That said, I'm definately in the "wait and see" category when it comes to ROF/COF rates, marketing, and Jim Drew.

Yeesh...well one of the issues with big honkin solenoids like the one in emags is the heat buildup problem. In the mag the entire frame grounds it out, so it's not an issue. But that's not the case with any other gun, except the pVI Shockers.

Wow... Eight times the current draw. Wonder how the average life of your standard 9v will drop.

thats a good point. It kinda defeats the purpose of having a small solenoid if you then need to find a place in the gun for six AA's instead of a 9v. (6AA's= 6*1.5=9v)

maybe they'll start using large battery packs as forgips.

Yeah right... what kinda crazy company would do someth... wait, nevermind.
