You might want to search it before posting something like this because I would highly doubt this hasnt been asked. Someone is going to flame you for it soon.

K, the R/T gives a FULL AUTO affect, which is illegal in most places for safety reasons, but the E-Grip, you can put it on regular (semi auto, one shot for each pull) and it will NEVER shoot full auto, but with the R/T, u might shoot full auto and say it was an accident.... or it might really be an accident and u cant prove it to them..

Full auto takes the fun out of the game, if everyone just stood there shooting a even 20bps at your bunker, then whats the point.

And there are safety reasons because people can get shot more then once causeing more then one welt, causing angry soccer moms.

^ lol

Full-Auto... ahahahahhahahahahahahaha <Continue to laugh for 3 more minutes, then I start to Cry>

Its Illegal in some areas because of the Trigger bounce(So they say).

What makes it illegal I think is that a R/T-Tippmann Can compete with some of the Flashiest new Wazoo electro's out there, for about 10% of the Price... and no one wants to see a Newbie with a 250$ Tippmann take out a 5-Year Veteran with the newest Wazoo Electro...

Money is what makes it Illegal.

In my opinion, it shouldn't be illegal at all.  The piston allows the trigger to bounce up at a rapid pace when pressure is applied to the trigger.  This is still one shot per trigger pull, so technically it is not considered to be full auto.  There are plenty of high-end semis that are much faster than a tippmann with a response trigger.  I dont know why it is illegal.  It does have a full auto effect, however, so do high end semi's.  If you can walk a semi-electro at 16 bps, thats even faster than the r/t.  Why r/t's are not allowed is beyond me.

^ Thats why some allow it and some don't... its still 1 shot per pull it just does it to Fast...

And if they Allowed the R/T in the NPPL I could just image how many pro's would Put Bouncing Electro Boards in there gun...

Thats what ive always suspected but the real reason is that its adjustable bounce. The bounce on the mag RT is allowed because its static.

well to shorten the answer up..........its illegial because it creates the trigger to bounce when you shoot(trigger bounce). it has nothing to do with full auto. the bounce is illegial probably because it could be dangerous if it bounced and wouldnt stop for a while. then the person would get shot a lot. it would be KIND OF dangerous, but not a lot.

Also dangerous because if you shoot that many balls at someone at once, it is possible for the first 3 or 4 to knock off their mask, and the next few to hit them in the face. I've seen it happen before, not pretty.

its not allowed b.c in speedball tourneys and at various fields, only semi auto is used, you are not allowed to have bouncing triggers or any type of full auto chip or a ramping board, granted teams find ways around it, but they r illegal nonetheless, and the R/T falls into this category (it creates bounce)thus its illegal
