Hey i have to decide what i wanna buy, i have a custom pro w/flatline, and i would like to buy one off these 2 for more bps.  But witch one should i buy?  If id chose the e-grip with WAS board **the newest e-grip** it says it shoots like 8-30bps...would a cyclone be enought?  And is the R-T hard to find to sweet spot?+does it uses alot of c02?  Thx in advance for the answers!

If you want to play in any tournies, you'll want the Egrip. If not, I'd suggest the RT. A cyclone would keep up fine. The RT isnt very hard to sweetspot and it uses excess CO2, so it doesnt use a lot.
Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good.

The cyclone will not be enough for anything shooting close to 20bps.  If you have a cyclone, you prolly don't need 20bps, but if you are planning on buying one then I suggest getting an actual hopper instead.

  And is the R-T hard to find to sweet spot?+does it uses alot of c02?

The R/T is super easy to opperate and can easily be made extremely fast.  It does not use anything but excess gas (meaning that it won't waste any more c02 than normal), and is very effextive and reliable.

  Thx in advance for the answers!

 If you want to play tournies, then the R/T is not ussualy tourny legal (although it is at my local field) and is not a smart choice.  However, if you only play recball, you want to go with the response.

  The adapter is just a splitter on one of the fittings.  Do you have the cyclone already or are you just planning on getting one?

  I personaly don't like the cyclone.  You are better off buying a regular hopper.  I have an Egg and it works great.  However, if you can afford the Halo B, get it.

  I dunno about Canadian.  The "egg" is a name for an Evolution II hopper (you'll see why when you see one).  It can get almost 20bps stock and over 20 with a $20(American) board.

  Sounds good to me.  When you get the R/T, look for the Super RT posts on the forum.  It is a series of easy, no-cost upgrades that will make the rt really fast.

Dude you have 2 double posts and a triple post and you only have 10 posts.

FYI dont double or triple post, it slows down the forum

just edit the previous post
