 Topic: A-5 egripPosted: 08 November 2005 at 6:39pm |
|
I read somewhere that batteries on my egrip should last at least 2000 shots right? Wrong, Ive been using my A5 for about 1.5 months and gone through 4 brand new batteries and about 6 partials... This cannot be right? The first two batteries lasted the longest but ever since, If when I am done a game I turn my gun off until further use, the battery is dead in no more than twenty-four hours, if I leave it on... Same thing!??! What the heck is going on here? Even when I don't use the battery it runs out when it's off! Is the only solution to take the battery out after each game?!?!!??? These batteries are starting to cost me more than paint for crying out loud. PS, I had my egrip factory installed. Lost... Edited by Tippymann15 |

Are you positive that you are turning off the E-grip? Make sure you are and if it doesn't work maybe take it to your proshop and ask.

Try lithium-ion rechargeables. They are expensive up front, but over the long haul will save you a lot of coin... on the other hand, why not convert to full mech and forget about batteries...

^^^ Because full mech is slow and has a heavy trigger pull, and no alternate firing modes.
If mechanical was better nobody would own an electric gun.... |

That's how many batteries I've gone through, I don't use two at a time lol!!! Anyway, it's like 7 bucks for two energizers, I just bought two more and am hoping these will serve me better. I always leave the battery in the gun, obviously if I took it out it would be fine, the problem is that it's burning in the gun when the gun is on or off. I never noticed if it turned off after a while? But I can say that the only battery that served it's purpose was when the gun was on. But then the next time I left my gun on nothing so... Oh yah, I would NEVER go back to mechanical lol.

The argument that something is better because a lot of people do it is dumb. If the Tippy RT wasn't hated on by these tourney homos maybe we would have more mechanicals in the pros....but when they hate on the only mech that can keep up, what do you expect? Mechanical Tippy RT's are so fast and vicious they are banned, 'nuff said. Edited by Zesty |

I agree the R/T is fast. I guess that's still full mechanical, but I would consider it an exception.
And I didn't argue that electros are better cause lots of people have them. I argued that they're better because they have a higher rate of fire and more options. |

But they don't have a higher rate of fire! And what good are a bunch of options when my RT can do all of them on the fly? Without batteries?

Oh come on dude! You've gotta admit there are electros out there that are faster than the most tricked out R/T.

I've seen the RT's shooting reliably at 20BPS, if you need more than that I can't relate to you
Also, I don't think you can get a gun to shoot 20+BPS as cheaply as the A5RT w/ QEV and super RT.....it does 20bps, is cheaper than anything else, and it doesn't require batteries....did I mention you can change modes on the fly? Single shots, or a burts of however many you want, the A5RT'll do it. No adjustments needed. |

Ok, so the R/T shoots fast for cheap.
But what about a tournament situation? Then you're stuck with either a completely mechanical semi (without the R/T), or an electro that can do 15+ BPS by walking the trigger. The choice is easy, you get an electro because Rate of Fire matters in speedball... |

and why is the RT tourney-illegal? Because players with $1000 God guns don't like being dominated by a gun that costs less than $300!
When did we start talking about tourneys? I thought the issue you brought up was speed? If the RT was tourney legal(which it should be), all you electro fans wouldn't be so confident in your superiority.....it's easy to disrespect when you outlaw the best Mech gun available! Ripping 15+ bps on a Tippy RT is just as hard as ripping 15bps+ on any of today's electros....why the hate on mechanical firepower? |
