What kind of tank are you using? Co2? HPA? I hear Centerflag makes very fast flowing HPA tanks.

Are you using aftermarket parts? A "high-flow top" in the on/off? Toss it. Tried it, done it, and seen it lower performance. Keep Mag's internals stock.

It would help if you listed EVERYTHING, in detail, that you have on your mag, along with your maintenance schedual, and exactly what you use and do to clean it.

Ok it's an automag p/f with a 51 cu/in crossfire tank, I beleive it runs at like 750 with a coiled remote kit and a 14in JJ barrel..with a booyah and thats aobut it as far as the gun.

I'v only had it fo about 2 months, played with it 3 times.. and I'v kept it clean including taking it all apart and oiling it every 2 weeks or so.

Yes Centerflags are nice, its what I use on my cocker, as dev knows. Ill have to let him try my Centerflag on his mag sometime and see if that solves the problem.

that explains it...its da crossfire tank. they are not high flowin,nor fast recharging. try a macdev coquest, maxflow, or an armageddon. a mag with a centerflag would be way to fast for a crossfire.

eh?

When I was telling him to try my centerflag I was referring to my tank :] Hes getting a booyah frame anyhow.

Firing so fast that the marker's tnak does not have enough time to "recharge" for another full power shot. It can happen on an marker in the right situation.

Just for the record, I have NEVER had shootdown with my stock Mag that was not the fault of either something wrong in the hose system or an aftermarket part.

thanks, i am trying to find some stuff out for my bro since i never let him on the comp, the only thing i know about mags are how they work,

so using a remote on a mag is kinda bad....hmmmm.....

A remote on any marker can starve it and cause shootdown. It depends on your style if you can slow down your shots.
