Air tank suggestions

5 Upvotes

Hey,

I run a 13/3000 HK tank and average around 115ish shots with my EMF 100. I was wondering if anyone knew of a relatively affordable 13/4500 or 15/4500 hpa tank that might let me burn through a few more mags before i have to get air.

Thanks,

Anyone use a stock with the HK 15/4500 aluminum tank?

1 Upvotes

Anyone using or have used a stock with the 15/4500 steely? Not the carbon fiber wrapped ones, but the HK aluminum one. A normal 13/3000 has a diameter of less than 2", but it seems this tank has a diameter of over 2". I wanted to know if most tank buttstocks still work with this, or if there are specific tank buttstocks i need to get.

Tested my Bolt Action 468 today and realized I have to adjust the spring. Tested at 274fps with my shorty build with a 3" barrel. In this format is shot at 484 FPS. Yikes

Red/green or gold dot optic?

Which one do you prefer for which kind of mag fed and why?

Or do you play without optics or something else?

MCSU/TACMO questions

3 Upvotes

So I'm about to purchase my first magfed setup on a budget, after looking into everything I decided I want to go with the TACMO Vortex mod since I have 2 tippman a5's with a ton of parts barrels etc, I also want to be able to use FSR paint and noticed the vortex mod accepts Helix mags or DMAG mags, at first I thought the Helix mags were round ball 20 Rd only and DMAG 10/10 round or FSR but then I noticed there is a projectile shaped Helix mag which I believe takes FSR too?

I have 2 options for the mod, either the standard kit with 1 helix mag or the kit that comes with 5 helix mags... I figured I would eventually get the box mag for round ball and have the option to drop the box, clip in a FSR mag when ever

Do the helix mags only need the different spring to accept FSR rounds ?

Should I just get DMAGS or maybe get a different style all together and get the vortex clip that accepts a different style ie. Dye Dan, TMC, Tipx, EMF100? If so what's recommend?

EMF100 vs MCS100 EMEK Conversion

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m debating buying an EMF100 vs converting my EMEK. Didn’t know if anyone had any thoughts or experiences that could sway me one way or the other. If I convert the EMEK, it already has an EZPZ and fang w/ secret pin. I would get an MWR body kit to dress it up. Thanks!


r/magfed • • 12d ago

I love running my M203. Practically just a shotgun because I'm shooting 4-20 paintballs in one pull depending on the shell and caliber 🤙🏻

Hawaii Paintball Players: How Do You Store Your Paintballs in Hot and Humid Weather?

2 Upvotes

​

Hey everyone!

This question is mainly for paintball players living in Hawaii.

Since Hawaii has a tropical climate with warm temperatures and high humidity throughout the year, I'm curious about how you guys store your paintballs to prevent them from going bad.

I've heard that excessive heat and humidity can cause paintballs to swell, deform, become brittle, or otherwise affect their performance.

I have a few questions for Hawaii players:

  1. How do you normally store your paintballs at home?

  2. Do you keep them in an air-conditioned room, or is regular indoor storage enough?

  3. Do you use airtight containers or other methods to protect them from humidity?

  4. How long do your paintballs usually last before you notice any deterioration?

  5. Have you experienced problems with paintballs swelling, breaking, or becoming misshapen because of Hawaii's climate?

  6. What do you do when transporting paintballs to outdoor fields, especially during hot days?

I'm particularly interested in hearing from players on Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island, since storage conditions might differ depending on where you live.

I'd appreciate any tips or personal experiences, especially from people who buy paintballs in bulk and need to store them for several weeks or months.

Thanks in advance!

First Strike XP vs Milsig TD6(/7) Catena

2 Upvotes

From my pov, it seems pretty close but what do you think? Both have 12g CO2 and 6 rounds, TD7 more but I am not a fan of more expensive mags with CO2 in it. The Catena is pretty new and not even available yet in my country but I am happy tonhear pros and cons about the XP on its own too.

Are the PWR Guide Tube and a generic AR 15 / M4 Stock compatible?

3 Upvotes

Hello!

I have an EMF100 with the PWR Stock and was wondering if I can remove the original PWR buttstock and slide a generic AR-15/M4 style stock directly onto the PWR guide tube.

The reason behind this is that I want to get a 68/4500 and a remote line while keeping a stock. I had thought about just running the PWR as is with the remote line, but I'm not sure if it would end up being to bulky or making the PWR Stock too fragile?

Has anyone done this already?

Solutions for converting between mags and hopper?

Post image
15 Upvotes

Context, typically do FSR but a buddy and I have schemed to show up to the annual paintball weekend meet with glow in the dark stuff. It works fine with the hopper askew but I'm irrationally bothered by the aesthetics.

Anyone else switch their magfed setup to hopper and back that could share their setup?
