    Posted: 22 October 2005 at 5:53am

What would be a better choice for my a-5, a e-grip or a response trigger? I heard the e-grip is not weather proof. can anyone help me decide, i play mostly woodsball.

For woodsball i suggest the R/T because you dont need to shoot as fast as the e grip can.... plus the rt is enough for a great woodsball experience

Unless you play in the rain, or in swampy areas, then I'd get the E-grip. You can put it on full-auto just like what the r/t does, but you can also swittch it to semi and a bunch of other modes.

Normally I'd recommend the e-grip, mostly becuase if someone ever went into a tournament. But since you said you playwoodsball, I'm gonna say go with the R/T. The e-grip doesn't like water/moisture, where as the R/T doesn't have a problem. Go with the R/T.

yep. Egrips I think are capped at 15
(correct me if I'm wrong) and I dont think R/T's are
capped. some people have gotten them into the
21-23 BPS range

Go with the rt. You dont need full auto in the woods. My friend e-grip messes up on his and eats co2 like crazy. Plus a Tippmann doesnt need any electronics in it. - My opinion

As stated earlier to correct that second post, the RT is faster then the Egrip (maybe not WAS board, not sure). However, on the A-5 what caps your BPS is the feeding of the cyclone. After a little practice and proper tuning with the RT you can shoot semi/slow or rapid full auto, without changing anything but your trigger pull. If you want tourny then get the e-grip, but if you want tourny then I wouldn't use the A-5 anyway. Don't sink that kind of money into a Tippmann, better bargains are to be had and only get better with time.

you can shoot semi auto on the r/t. the full auto is faster on the r/t. you can do bursts with the r/t........the only thing is it is illegal at some fields.

E-grip.

I played a 24hr (Avalon) with my egrip, it rained for over half of the game. I just put some electrical tape over the adjustment holes and never had a problem.

Yeah Tigman's 98 is very fast, he would probably need a Q-loader or something to feed it.
