Thread taps

[Brewtt]

Who's got thread taps and in what threading?

Need for 1/8" NPT pipe thread for sure.

Also need a tiny one for set screws... ajnin probably knows what I'm talking about.

Post up what you got. :)

[killionhellion]

don't got it at home....u should buy a set...they're handy dandy

[ajnin]

i do. bought one for the pnue project. got sorens tap and dye kit too.

[killionhellion]

you guys really into this "pnuemag" deal huh? what's the advantage besides being a "cool" cocker/mag????

[Puppet]

Pnuemags are walkable and mechanical. thats pretty much it.

[ajnin]

its a light and walkable trigger pull. definatly not cocker like.

mine felt very soft, kinda odd, i was also below 1k on air :(

and in a cocker the ram is moving the bolt. in a pnuemag the ram is movign the seer.

[Kitty]

it's like a 'cocker in the way that it uses a three way to actuate a pnuematic 'noid - the trigger is acting directly on the 3-way to trip the sear... instead of acting on a ram to open the bolt


the feel of an electro without the batteries...

[Kitty]

oh.. and I have hundreds of taps and dies

[killionhellion]

sooo...what your saying is that you want to add hundreds of dollars worth of gayness to your gay, and gay it up so that i can shoot your gay hoses hanging off your gay and gay it all up. is that correct??

[Soren]

you obviously have absolutely no idea what your talking about.

one of many many ultra sexy all internal pnuemags.

you guys would laugh so hard at John's posts if you would stop being so god damned defensive... he's freakin' joking for christ's sake


BTW - mini>pnuemag :nododgy:

[Soren]

Im not being defensive. Its called stating my opinion, which is what he did and what you are doing. So, why don't you guys laugh at what you think is funny and ill laugh at you.

=your opinion

[Kitty]

it's just funny how quick you guys are to jump back with a below the belt response to everything... classic sign of someone being defensive

[Kitty]

I considered a pnuemag at one point, did all the research, thought about it for a long time... I settled on something that would better suit my needs... the mini. Lless kick, better effeciency, and it's backed by KEEs unrivaled customer service - something that I just couldn't get spending an extra $250 on making a pnuemag

[ajnin]

ya... my humor is generaly below the belt. and i think most pnuemag users reason behind them is the need to tinker and or build somethign they can sorta call their own. atleat thats why most of the owners/builders i know do it. its kinda a nifty practice of theories as well. i have learned alot and have come up with many other practical uses in others ideas i have had based of the little bit of working knowledge i have been gaininng from the project.

i dont think i will like the in coonsistancy of the fire. my right hand fingers arent fast/smooth enough to walk i dont think. but this as said is a learning experiance. i do think that a elctro-pnue might be more fitting for my worthless fingers. takes the need to have percise finger action out of the equation, electronics help alot. there is also a new mod invovling a magnet being mounted to the lever of the 3 way causing it to reset much easier.

so its fun in the long run. lets me pretend i can make cool stuff.

[Brewtt]

HOLY CRAP!

Why can NO ONE here spell "pneumag" correctly? :rolleyes:

"E" before "U"! "E" before "U"!

It's pneumatic... NOT pnuematic. :p

[killionhellion]

I must formally apologize to those i offended when i took the outrageous stance of wondering about "PneuMags". Those tears that were shed...well...I know i can't give them back. but i humbly ask your forgiveness O gurus of all air+paint in ball technology.

p.s. Oh soren! hey man i found your balls that fell out when you wrote your reply thread...i'll bring em next time i see you.

[Kitty]

LOL dude that had me in stitches... almost like watching the new england coach walk off the field after loosing the superbowl... that was funny! !!

anyway, clear your damn PMs bitch!

and sorry about the spelling brewtt... I tend to use quick reply, so I can get my responses in faster... then I usually go through and double check spelling and what not.. however we can't edit posts anymore so... meh whatever

and in all honesty, I graduated college with an AA in computer science minoring in business management, and I work in sales at an autoparts store... I play paintball for fun... I don't participate in spelling bees, nor do I consider an aptitude for spelling to be reflective of a person's intelligence, let alone thier charactor or thier damn point on a message board.
However, if pointing out other's petty mistakes makes you feel better, please, feel free to highlight, edit, and quote our posts every time... that would be awesome, and I would get a good laugh out of it. :D


also James, I totally understand your need to tinker... It was primarily the thing that got me into hondas... sure I could have bought a better car for less money and been faster, easier.. but it was fun to build. Just the endless claims that pneumags are the shit bug me... because soren, while they are fun, and better/faster than a stock automag - they don't compare to a high end electro marker ;) that's why I made the joke : "mini>pneumag"

[ajnin]

the problem lies in gettign them setup just right. alot of the pneumag guys themselves say you can do the same thing twice and not get the same results. that alone means the majority of pneumags are gonna bite ass. i see the biggest problem being the rod. and the 3way. if those are removed it takes out alot of the problems that could arise. hence the need for elctro pneu. add a microswtich, and a electronic valve and your good to go a hell of a lot more consistant. but no longer mech. meh.. will do both.

[Kitty]

I'd like to see a properly done electro pneumag

woot!

maybe if you buy my mag you can do it to that! hehe :evil:

[Kitty]

BTW we can sum up killion like this:

lol!

[Brewtt]

Classic! There's got to be a good story here! :D

[ajnin]

just how he "rolls"

[killionhellion]

I fell down perfectly into position for that shot...coincidence..???

[Kitty]

lol it's pretty much true ;)

no alcohol involved... just a pure BMX high

[Kitty]

I know there are shots of me out there that can be used against me... I thoroughly regret the day someone finds one

[Soren]

did you see the video i linked? i thought that one was done very well. all internal nice frame/trigger...

anyway, the mini is not a high end marker by any means just to get this strait in your heads. I fired a high end marker last weekend, kains new 2008 ego... which is a high end electro marker.

[Kitty]

I've shot egos, hell I've owned an 05
I've owned egos when they were just modified cockers... and bakc when PE made e-blades - i've owned angels, and shockers too
I've owned a LOT of markers in my day, not just SHOT them.... sure you can say it's great, you just shot it - you have no idea anything about it

I wouldn't trade my minis for an ego - and there are hundreds of people that feel the same way, just go to any invert forum, or any FIELD for that matter where people own both, and see which ones they use as a backup.

if you wanna downplay something, that's your business but don't lie on a public forum

pbreview.com > markers > high end electronic markers > there you will see the mini, listed with shockers, angels, and yes.. even egos ;) and it has the rating to boot
just because it's not as highly priced as an ego doesn't mean it lacks the performance of a high end gun. I'm not saying it's better.. just saying, it is in fact on the level with a high end marker

you'll see 08 egos for half price from PE themselvs when they screw up the anno... what does that say about the price of high end markers? it's all about image

[Soren]

Oh?, what did i LIE about exactly kitty?

buhaha, the mini is barely on the high end marker list, on page 5 of 7 , rating 9.1 ... right where it should be. As far the problems with the mini I will go further in detail.. here the the main problems thus far; quality control, kick, barrel fit, out of box working gun, break in period, fragility, lack of people who know how to fix it. these problems are all fixable, I hope they do because the mini is a great new design, small package, fast, inexpensive.

humm, people like mini's on a invert forum, WOW! SHOCKER!

[Puppet]

if your using pbreview.com to decide what a highend is, ion is a high end electro, and it has a 9.0 rating.

[Kitty]

the list is alphabeticle there buddy ;)

as for your list of problems... for a new designed marker, you can't compare quality control issues, there are always quirks with new models. One of them was the 1.1 board, and the defect poppet, both which KEE fixed within the first 1500 minis sold.
barrel fit? there is one barrel that won't fit, the old pre-96 freak backs...
of of box working gun... hmm, shockers, DP threshies, the new Quests, DMs, those are just the ones I can think of right off the top of my head. Sure you've probably heard james tell you his didn't work out of the box... after hearing the horror stories of the 'techs' that worked on his gun.. it's no wonder it didn't work.
break in... Egos have a break in period recomended by PE (I know this because I've owned them)
fragility?? are you kidding me? stick to computers buddy!
lack of techs... hmm well.. new technology... no one considers this a reason to call rotaries shit engines...

the only thing the mini lacks is a decent trigger and a tourny legal board with better eye logic

your argumens are futile.
Lets start distinguishing between "high-end/low-end" features and "performance/i take it up the fanny" features. Think of a feature on the ego 08 that's gonna save my rope of balls from savagely blistering your face, and maybe i'll start acknowledging why the pe gun is so great. Maybe it's uncanny ability to be bent in the frame will make you a better player. oh snap, was that too soon?

there are features that make the EGO great, but not $900+ greater than the mini, sorry but I have 3 minis. the one I personally use is more effecient, lighter, has a barrel kit, a board that laughs at the PE boards (and it can, because it has an audio feature) is just as accurate, fast, reliable and backed by just as good of a warrentee/customer service - yet it won't bend when I fall on it

[Kitty]

BTW Kain, I mean no disrepsect... I think the PE EGO is a great marker. Congrats on your new purchase, from begining to end PE has pushed envelopes and delivered a great product... but I just hate it when people that know nothing start ripping on stuff they have little no no experience with.

[killionhellion]

the mini shoots your face just as well as the ego does...and so will my F8. Possibly the ego does it better with a louder report, a bloated "ego" (hehe..) and a smaller wiener (NOT yOU Kain! James told me it's not small.):D
