Got mine now and it looks sweet, just need the chance to put some paint through it and i will report back. W
I'll let you know when I've shot them back to back. The Empire does seem to have a slightly heavier pump stroke, but this is simply down to springing rather than pump mechanism. The fairly stiff pump return spring doesn't help, which could be ditched at the expense of blowback when using hitman to pump. I'm sure with lighter springing it would be damn close to a CCM's for feel. I sweet spotted inline reg at 240psi input, and got a solid 285 +/- 3fps with Sterling Mace on the .685" bore barrel. This was with the IVG almost backed right out, so I think there's scope to try a slightly softer hammer spring. No mine was supplied by LIPS - they may still have a few in stock
Well add me to the list of owners now but I will not be back for a few months yet so will have to be a bit till I get out to play with any of you again. Wiggles! You replaced my mag pump already? Did you even use it in a game?
Like Liam I have only had the chance to shoot mine in the garden but really impressed by the shot on shot accuracy. Would be really interested to here a comparison to the T2 by someone who has shot both. Rich
I had a t2 so when get home will be able to tell you. But that will be a few months. On the Nate there is comparisons review already
