AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
first thing i noticed is that it is really uncomfortable to hold right now. that's because all i have for attaching my tank to my marker is a drop forward, as my rail hasn't come in the mail yet. but i pretty much expected that i just wanted to shoot it.
it had the E-Mag valve with original on/off. the marker shot pretty well at first but if I wasn't really careful the RT bounce would break balls in the barrel. i'm pretty sure it's shooting a ball at one velocity and then immediately shooting another at a slightly higher velocity which collides with the first ball in the barrel. it's really annoying and I hate it, so i stopped playing with the z-mag, until i can make it more comfortable and pulled out my y-mag.
i had been having some problems with the y-mag as well, similar to the ones i explained with the zmag. I took the emag valve from the z-grip, put the ULT from the xvalve and put it in the e-mag valve, removed two of the four shims, put the valve in my y-mag and it shoots beautifully. all that's left is to get another ULT for my x-valve, and a more comfortable set-up and i'll have two awesome markers.
Well my marker is working good now. I took the wedge off. there is alot of side to side play on mine. it was a pos design. It uses ball bearings to hold the wedge to the asa. the ball beaerings are held in place by 2 set screws. there is alot of side to side play on mine...the dove tails do not match up very well because its being pushed up and down as oposed to side to side like other rails ive used. want new pics?
i need to get another ULT for my z-mag valve too. but that will be awhile as i don't have any money!!
p.s. i'm in utah (driving home to iowa, from san diego) and it's SNOWING!! why is it snowing!!! aaaaah.
i played this weekend with my z-gripped RT. had a blast. i also had issues with my valve. remove a shim, replace a shim. just weird. but it was a blast. i'm thinking about a wedge, just so i can get more compact. my friend is got a couple of videos of us playing. let me know if you would like to see.
mmm san diego. i miss CA sometimes o wells. get some more pictures when you can
the only thing i dont like about this set up is the gauge and fillnipple dig into my wrist. i figured i could move them to the opposite side.
It not only shoots fast...it looks fast :P
Ever see those celica commericals? the one with the parked celica and this dog goes chsing after it and runs into the bumper...then it says "it just looks fast"

i had the same problem with the gauge and fill nipple. answer? use a wristband around it. played all day without a problem.
AND YES, I CAN LAY ON MY BACK AND SHOOT THIS THING LIKE I WAS ON A DOWN-HILL LOOGE!!! I LIKE TO SEE MY MAG BEING USED IN GOOD CONTEXT. THANKS GUYS.....IT MIGHT BE UP FOR SALE IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO........
yah I got another z-grip comin in the mail, and i'm thinking very seriously about putting it on this minimag the local shop owner just got in. i might throw a stiletto or thorn on that baby.
