Id go E-Grip over the RT, It's alot better. For the car stock, don't make the same mistake I did. Once you put it on your A-5 and use it you will be like "sweet". Throw on your paintball mask and try to line up the sights, the stock bumps into your mask. You can't aim at all. It's a total waste of money. Mine sits in my closet brand new, wanna buy mine?  ------------- A-5 FlatLine Barrel E-Grip Double Trigger Drop Forward Low Pressure System 68/4500 HP Cross Fire Nitro High Performance Front Bolt Ricochet Hopper Gun Sling Techline Secondary Regulator |

It all depends on your style of play, but as for me, I whould definitely get the r/t, but I whould not get the stock, they are essential on firearms but for me they make the Marker to long and difficult to fire, but once again that’s just me. I have a lot of friends that have car. Stocks and they like them, so if you do get a stock, get the car. Stock, its very good. -------------  Join the XP Re-Revolution!

I looked up an E-Grip and an R/T and found out that the E-Grip has a lot of problems. i called up this place called Waynes-World ( http://www.waynes-world.com - www.waynes-world.com awesome place for woodball). I talked to the owner of the place and he said that every person that he met w/an E-Grip has had some kind of problems with it. So i guess im stuck with an R/T. If anyone has an E-Grip, does it have any problems? How does it work? Please let me know asap im lookin at buying R/T or E-Grip within a couple of days. Thanks. -------------

Every electronic firing system for paintball has its inherent problems. Yes, even Angels(omg?). My egrip works great. |

E-Grip for tourney play and RT for woodsball. its that simple E-Grips are awesome don't listen to all the negative stuff. Crap is gonna happen stuff is gonna get broken an RTs can break too not just E-Grips. ------------- [IMG]http://www.zmachars.com/emb%20patches/The-Used-Logo_P-752_small.jpg"> |

With an e-grip make sure you buy 15 sears to replace often.

^ Lol. The E-grips are more reliable then the RT's are better for your money than the RT's are. ------------- TIPPMANN 98 CUSTOM 14" Progressive barrel 32* Black gel grips BT-16 Double trigger Pen Spring Mod X-core Expansion Chamber Vertical Adapter |

| like i said before, get the egrip over the response trigger. i would get a car stock, but you need to do with it is get a reddot sight and the get the lapco offset sight rail. then your sight and your aiming wont be interfered with by your mask and stock. |

| I've had both r/t and an egrip for a year, now my r/t sits on the shelf collecting dust. I've never had a prob with the egrip, and I don't know why Impulsive thinks you should buy 15 sears, I've shot several cases of paint and haven't busted the sear yet. I've heard of a few people that have had problems with the sears breaking but I have never actually met anyone. Sounds like something from myth busters, everyone hears about it but no one has actually seen it happen. |

depends......what kinda paintball do you play?? if ur gonna get a carstock then ur gonna need to get a sight rail b/c u can't look down the sights wid a carstock when u got ur mask on, but there might be some carstocks that u can use. ------------- A-5 E-Grip GTA Double Trigger GTA Expansion Chamber J&J Ceramic 12" barrel COMING SOON: Flatline Car Stock Remote Coil |

Do you own an e grip? Really do you? I havent had one friggen problem with my e grip yet and iv owned it over a year. My battery hasn't even run out yet! Y cant all of u who dont have e grips just shut the hell up and let the people who do have em answer the freakin questions! Your E-Grip wont be screwed up, its super reliable, a MUCH better investment then an R/T. Plus R/T's arent allowed in most tourny's and big games, sometimes even reguler field games. With the E-Grip you can get a jcs duel trigger and still be able to hit high rates of fire on semi auto in big games or fields wear only semi auto is allowed. ------------- A-5 Flatline E-Grip Tapco T-6 stock JCS Duel Trigger JCS Universal BiPod Core Remote 88ci/4500psi Crossfire R-5 Hopper Apex Barrel Hot Shot red dot Lapco offset Spec Ops A5-A2 grip |
