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

e-grip : tourney legal, differnet fire modes, 15bps

RT : not tourney legal, takes some time to get used to "sweatspotting" it, its a gas-hog, 14-15bps

dude he has an A5 see " E-grip " its alot less than the 98's "E-bolt"

egrip fasho

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

It deos work the same as the cyclone feed.

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)

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???

ok so...which is more reliable then?

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?

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.
