... And E-Mags are worth quite a bit... I'm honestly tempted. The E-Mag is everything I've dreamed of in an electro, but it's a money pit. I can't afford a charger, ASA/Rail, LV 10, faster hopper, paint and all that. What I'd be doing with the cash is building a nice mech 'cocker with a Gemini kit. When I say "nice," I mean top of the line. Palmers, AKA, CCM, all that good stuff. I just want to know your opinions on this... ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

Do it. Your sig says it all(and exactally how I feel about the matter). ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

Pardon me, but was it the Gemini kit? I'm debating on whether I want to trade my ebolt'd 98 for a STO mq'd e1 cocker. (Not to thread jack, but seems like the appropriate company to say such a thing in.) ------------- PlentifulBalls "It's cool, I'll be dead before I'm not pretty." Gatyr "Stupid things exist."

MQ valves are rare, and worth about $200 alone. I personally would take the 'cocker, but you do have a nice 98... The Gemini system uses 2 LPRs and a 6-way valve to use 2 different pressures to actuate the bolt. Whatever you need PSI wise on the backstroke of the ram, and all the way down to like 15 PSI on the forward stroke. When tuned, you'll never chop a ball! ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

Hmmm, never heard of the mq valve I guess...or the gemini system for that matter...you got a link with descriptions handy?

So the gemini system is like what the Osiris used? Those things are fascinating. 98 = 2way ram. Morlock board. LPK. Other small stuff. I am thinking on going with the cocker. ------------- PlentifulBalls "It's cool, I'll be dead before I'm not pretty." Gatyr "Stupid things exist."

Ah, only for mech guns? Bollocks. Oh well. The MQ should be good enough for me, provided it works well. The guy said it's still in the box and hasn't been installed yet. Still waiting on pics. Think a straight up trade would be fair, or should I ask him to add.

MQs are rare and $200? CRAP!! Like 4 months ago, when i had the imp, a guy offered me an AIM Cocker, with eblade, freak, the works... And, he said hed throw in an MQ for $60!. AND HE WOULD'VE SHIPPED FIRST! I want a cocker, but im afraid to get one. It would just be like the A5 and the Imp, and shortly the Mag, I fall out of love with them.

Wow, someone doesn't know their marker history..... 
Cocker - Front Pneumatics + pump handle = WGP Sniper-II That's one of the beauties of the 'cocker system, you can change everything back and forth with a minimum of effort. Oh, and on the topic... Sell the mag. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

You could get rid of the e-mag and buy an Osiris Autococker. There is 1 on ebay right now. ------------- 2005 Freestyle Naughty Dawg Freestyle Angel LCD SP-8 Tippmann 98 Custom |

And yet another lbw that the umpire failed to call. Even the commentator is noticing the trend now. Grr. But, the run rate is still passably low. ------------- [IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/aag8s8.jpg"> |
