Define excess! I don't think that taking air straight out of the valve BEFORE it reaches the paintball is exactly excess! Some people still think that the RT uses "blowback gas". This is incorrect. The fitting banjo is installed in the wrong place to use blowback gas. |

and most fields don't care if you have an r/t and if they do you could easily turn it off by putting in the blockage screw thing. and the r/t is easy to reapair there are like 3 parts to it and no elctricity to it. the e-grip is much more complicated and alot more could go wronge. |

ok guys the r/t is not a gas hog. it uses excess gas, it works the same way that the cyclone feed works. alot of people call it a gas hog because when you use it you usually shoot alot therefore using alot of gas. but then again you would be shooting a lot with the e-bolt too so you would use up a lot of gas and paint with that too. def get the r/t it keeps it nice and simple and you could shoot as fast as the ebolt. plus lots less money. |

It does use more air. Do you have one? I don't see R/T in your sig. Take it from ppl who use it, it DOES use more air.... not alot more, but just enough to notice. |

dude the r/t doesn't use more air than your gun shoots. it takes the extra air that your gun doesn't use. the r/t is the way to go. don't listen to them because they thin that it takes more air to use well go look for your self on the tippmann site in systems or accessories

I seriously recomend the e-grip 1. it is tourny legal 2. it is simple to maintain 3. doesnt use any gas at all 4. easy to put in the gun 5. has multiple fireing modes, cool for lighting people up with paint! |

Ok- someone said it took 30minutes to install the R/T- well, the E-grip took me five while I was eating dinner. Yes, they're both really reliable slimjim23- they're made by Tippmann. You're getting down to rare freaky occasions where something broke- like I said, an E-grip is just easier to repair if something horrible did happen. Plus, the E-grip (please note it's the E-grip, not the E-bolt) is only 30 bucks more. That's it- only 30 more for easier, legal shooting. It's your call, but I'd mow a few more lawns for the E-grip.
They don't get wet that easily- the board is pretty well contained in the grip. Carry an extra battery in your pocket- it's not hard, not in the way, and you can change it real quick on the field (disconnect air supply first!!!!) I think I'd prefer having to change a battery on the field than run tubing. Edited by LordJovian |

Dude an rt is good but it is as others said 1.gas hog 2. not turney legal 3.if you don't have an electronic feed hopper ur balls will split so an e grip might be better although; 1. in woods if they get wet or banged up real bad you'll have lots of problems 2. not allways relable if ur battery dies and stuff. but besides that their great i would recomend either one its your preference but if you doo have an expansion chamber and a atomatic feed you'll be fine in the woods or in speed just cant play in tourneys! |

I have an R/T in my A-5, but I much prefer the E-Grip.
When in the heat of a game, you don't have time to concentrate on sweet spotting as well as when your just laying cover fire... I always seem to have a problem sweet spotting at the wrong times, like when doing a run through. Its VERY hard to sweet spot while running... on the other hand, and E-Grip w/ double trigger is easily walkable, at least for me, even on a run. The E-Grip is much easier to shoot. If I were you, I would go down to a shop or something and see if they would let you try out an R/T and then an E-Grip, so you can see how they feel for yourself. |

get an e-grip its so much easier to maintain im like u i casually play and when i do its usually woods ball and i've found that if u get pinned down its much easier to just turn a switch to get the fire mode u want instead of trying to find a sweet spot trust me the e-grip is deff worth the extra $$ and i've yet to have a problem with mine
