anyway, the r/t has no possible advantages over the egrip what so ever, except for the price which is made up for in the egrips performance.  First of all, the egrip is tournament leagal, although it must be on semi auto.  R/t are illegal in tourrny's, getting the egrip would save you hassle before a tournament.  Second, the egrip trigger pull is soooo much lighter than the original grip; it is very light and short.  The r/t actually has a heavier pull than the original grip because of the gas resistance.  Third, the egrip has 5 different firing modes:semi auto, turbo mode(shoots twice for each trigger pull as long as the release of the trigger is within .25 seconds of the pull), response mode(you fire about three shots and then every trigger pull after that throws out about 3 shots, this is when the rof is set to highest), 3 shot burst(self explainable), and of course, full auto, yur best friend.  R/t firing modes: NONE. it is like a semi auto but auto at the same time type thing.  Fourth, the r/t uses excess gas to be powered, so u will find your self running out of gas faster, the egrip doesnt uses any excess gas, just a battery.

the only possible reason i could see someone not buying this product is because of its price $120 compared to r/t $80.  But, as you can see from above, it is well worth your money and is the best upgrade you can get for your A5, except HPA. 

Hope this helps.

Very good post!  

But the part about the R/T using more gas is complete BS!

The R/T uses blowback gas to reset the R/T piston so it will put together strings of shots together easily. If you didn't have a R/T installed the blowback gas would just dissipate into the air.

In simple terms :

The R/T doesn't use anymore gas than a stock A-5!

This is a common misconception about the R/T

A-5 dude, dont forget 3 shot burst lol

And also a possible advantage that some people say to get the R/T over the E-Grip is that the E-Grip uses a battery which really means almost nothing (it fires about 3000 shots) which is 15 hopper fulls

This is really a personal preferance question.  The answer depends a lot on what type of game you are going to play.  I've had both on my A5 and didn't like either one.  Granted, the problem could be with my A5 since it is one of the early ones (serial # 000372) or it could just be me since I let my son use the e-grip on his A5 (#000375) and he didn't seem to have any problems. 

Anyway, to my point.  If your going to play mainly tournaments, or on licensed fields, you want to listen to the folks who recommended the e-grip.  But for woodsball, the guy up above (You Won't See Me) hit the nail on the head.  The r/t is cheaper, you never need to worry about batteries, and you can fire as little or as much as you want.

I like the model 98 r/t so much that I just installed another one on my other 98C.

why isn't electronics worth it?

and like A5dude15 said on the auto response mode gives you semi auto (hold trigger down a little longer), auto respons, 3 shot burst (pull trigger, release trigger, and pull trigger), and full auto ( pull triggger rapidly)

I dont have an E-grip, but I was thinking about purchasing one for my A-5 since my dad has a r/t on his and it pretty much sucks.  But, what do you mean you have to take the E-grip apart or whatever to change firing modes?  Its not operated by buttons?
