Who out there still plays speedball with a mech semi or pump?

[fire1811]

Pre-BE I let mine go a few years back. I regret it.

Isnt it strange too that the more things cost, the more they break? Youd think a $130 HALO(thats what they were going for when I bought mine) would never break.

Still have my pre-be and it also have never had problems with it.

Yuck. Mags have less kick than Ions... And they come from AGD. And they never chop, with a tuned LX.

OHHH the sweetness...

1 of 3 and I guess for a reason. I have owned it now for 5 years. Never really a downtime with it. The original frame and rock started flaking so I put new to make it look better but everything is pretty much the way it came. The original ram finally went out at about 10 billion cycles so I put a smc on it. Now its +/-2 over the chrony. People locally who have shot it know whats up. Best cocker I have ever shot/owned/seen/touched.

[PumpMag]

PumpMag almost always

Anybody out there still play speedball with a mech?

Every since I joined the Old School Challenge, I use my PumpMag all the time - Pump tourneys for OSC and NSA, speedball, rec play, when playing solo or with teammates. Playing pump really improved my game, and forces your team to work together. I recently got an E-mag and shot it at Huntington Beach NPPL March 2006 and will shoot it again this week at Orange County NPPL October 2006. But I'll bring my PumpMag too.

The Return of the Automag..................

Every time I shoot it.

AAAh, pat that thing is so beautiful and SMOOOOTH.

It suprises me how much mech/pumpers are out there, even though i am a commoner on SCP...

That is sure nuff sweet

Almost ready to turn this beast loose....

RRfireblade that is really sweet. Is it hard to mill the ULE for pump ?
I have to buy a mag pump kit somewhere and I will try and put one together.
That is the first pump mag I have ever seen with an Xvalve.
When looking at pump mags I have often wondered if an Xvalve would have any advantage,
and why I've never seen one used on a pump.
I have an abundance of black Xvlaves and would like to use one for a pump.

I do have an Emag but I end up shooting it for one game and putting it away when I play.
Costs too much in paint. 1000 balls in one game. Then one of the mech mags come out.
Today I tried to be cheap and use paint thats been in my trunk (in Florida) for over a month.
Well all I did was chop paint all inside the Empire B so I had to use the mech mag all day
with the slower Reloader II . Sometimes being cheap doesnt pay. But it was fun nonetheless.
The mech has an Xvalve of course, with ULE and Logic Vert frame.

I've only ever played with a mech mag...i just can't get myself to trust anything electro...i've seen other players at the feild in the middle of the game trying to figure out why ther super duper electro won't shoot and i just keep going with my mech....i admit i do have an electro hopper but i'm still not dead in the water if that goes out.

/\/\/\/\ try an emag with xmod its a sweet symphony of perfection.

This has to be one of the best threads (other than the tech threads) I have read in a long time.

Currently I have my Xmag and my mech mag which I am in the process of turning into a pump mag and pneumag. Before anyone says anything I have 2 different trigger frames one of which will house the pneumatics and the other will be for semi and pump play kind of my version of a tripple threat. That is whats great about Mags so many options sadly so little time to try them all.

I perfer playing with the mech over my X but only because... well actually that is a lie I love playing with both of them equally and general take them both out whenever I play! I still play tournies from time to time with my mech only because I haven't purchased a tourney lock for the Xmag.

Perhaps I'll have to do that since I've recently become the owner of two Emag valves...now about the lowers...maybe I'll have to get some, afterall they are from AGD.

Every once in a while I even revert back to a Sterling, but I'm not really good enough to play pump in a semi/electro world.

Ooh, can you post a picture of the Sterling?
