R/T ---=VS=--- E-Grip

...bump

i got a rt and i love it!

e bolt has all those extra things you dont need and with the money u use to buy that u could just buy a whole new gun.

 i installed my rt myself in less than 30 mins because it only has 2 or 3 parts. and just looking at the e bolt makes me confused!

 also u need to replace it with batteries all the time and it still might cut out in the middle of a game and thats gonna suck! if it were me i wouldnt want to be messing with the fire rate or operation or whatever while ur trying to play.

 a rt is sooooo simple! u either tap the trigger or hold it. and i heard that in a test it shot up to 20 bps! i dont think many people need to shoot much faster than that.

r/t and since your worried about the gas. with the extra money u safe buy a fillstation.

Baaahhhh!
The e-grip has a small problem with not tripping the sear when the battery is somewhat used- but oiling the sear tripper will fix that. The E-grip can be used just like an R/T in certain modes. The E-grip isn't just for high rate of fire, it's much easier to use than the R/T. My n00b friend rented an A-5 with the R/T and he had loads of trouble getting it to do what he wanted on the field when balls were flying over his head. The E-grip is much easier- plus if you don't want to just paint the field three round burst is nice for a very controlled full-auto effect. The E-grip by far is easier to amntain than the R/T- an R/T problem is mechanical, meaning you might have to buy new parts, replace hoses, etc. The E-grip you either oil it, change a battery, or tell Tippmann it's screwed up (rarely happens) and they'll send you a new one. That's about the extent of it. The E-grip is not complicated.

allright lets say it this way: i dont plan on gettin in any tournaments i just play casually. and people with e-grips always annoyed me because most of them hide behind a tree and hold the trigger down like a sissy-girl (hope that doesnt offend anyone). i'm not lookin for the one with the higher bps. so i need the truth, how much gas would i be "wasting" with an r/t?

ok so...which is more reliable then?

Hey I was also wondering which is better the response or the e-grip...the thing is i used to have a spyder imagine (now i have the A-5 but u figured that out) and the electronics always screwed up and the same thing happened to many other imagines i've seen so has anyone with an e-grip ever had any serious problems with the electronics of it???

(if that really is true) thanks

wow, take some time and read up on da A5, all da expansion chameber will do is make it a less chance to freeze up, HPA is still da best, note HPA will work w/o a reg (high pressure)

It deos work the same as the cyclone feed.

little fields don't let you have full auto or burst get a RT
