Sorry if this is the wrong place......

Can somebody in the know tell me about pnuemag frames. I would like to know are they as good as the guys over the pond say and what is a cheater mag and who/where could I get one done?

Pnuemags are a waste of time in my opinion, supposed to make your mag walkable but its not great tbh the whole idea of the newer mag valves was to increase rate of fire.
Cheater valves are no longer made but fitted into a standard intelliframe with litte modification

Ive built a few mag variations any questions feel free to ask

I had a couple of pneumags. It does make the trigger pull nice and light, but not electro-light and only just about walkable. It's also expensive to do - especially if you want to have all the pneumatics concealed, as you'll either need a frame designed for pneumatics or have an intelliframe modified to take the bits and also modify your ASA. You'll also need a suitable LPR and all the other gubbins - most of which is usually only easily available from the US.

I've had both a 'normal' pneumag and one using the cheater manifold. The cheater combined a couple of the bits into a single unit and was easier to install, but I actually got better results using the standard MSV2/MPA3 setup.

I'd agree with renie that given the effort and cost, it's probably not worth it - if you're looking for high ROF you'd get better luck sticking a Ninja SHP reg on your bottle to ramp up the reactivity of your X-Valve. For the amount I spent on building my shiny Pneumag below, I could probably have got myself a new Ego. :eek:

Here's a pic of one of mine - had a pneu-ready M90 frame, a CP direct mount ASA which I modded myself to feed air direct to the LPR, Palmers micro rock LPR, MSV-2 switch and MPA3 ram.



And here's a vid of the cheater setup I had - you can see it's much cleaner inside the frame, although that's mainly because the LPR is hanging off the side of the ASA!

I am not really after high rates of fire I have an etha for that, I am just after a different from "normal" mag.
Also after a lighter trigger pull....will the ult on/off work with the x-valve? Sorry for the amount of questions I am still fairly new to mags as always been a cocker fan until I had a game with a mates mag. So last question slightly off topic but is the new air America bottle reg any good as I cant find a ninja shp one anywhere?

Already answered the ult question whilst I was typing cheers renie and I dont want a super reactive trigger just nice and light. so what sort of reg output am I looking for on a reg?
