E-grip is better, but then again with the electronics some people have problems. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

well an egrip has 9volt battery and if your in the middle of a game and under heavy fire and all of a sudden your battery dies well your pretty much screwed but if you get a r/t trigger you dont have to worry about that but it uses a little more gas but overall i would get the e grip cause it has more than one firing mode. ------------- CLICK THE LINK BELOW http://model98.org">

I like the e-grip better. It has more firing modes than the r/t and is allowed at all tourneys (unlike the r/t). ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

E grip kicks butt man!! I love it who cares that the R/t gets 17 and e grip only gets 15. On turbo mode its the best upgrade ever! ------------- A-5 E grippa! Mechanical grip 20 0z. Polished Interals Polished Barrel Lifes hard wear a helmet. |

^ thank you your e grip will never fri circuts and the battery lasts a very long time also. pluss the jcs duel trigger is such a great upgrade for it if you play some speedball. and who doesn't want full auto for rec ball? I havent had any problems with my e grip at all iv played in both rain and snow and in one case a combination of both and never had any problems with the thing geting wet or "short circuting" Best upgrade for woods and speed, r/t is a cheeper fast shooting upgrade that shouldn't be bought if an e grip could be afforded. ------------- 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 |

| yeah, expecially dont worry about it getting wet, its to protected inside the grip. and yur right, the jcs trigger is AWSOME for walking, and you can easily max out the egrip with it on semi auto. |

The E-grip will only die on you if you are not smart enough to change it after every day of playing. Besides you can tell when the battery is about to die anyways. ------------- TIPPMANN 98 CUSTOM 14" Progressive barrel 32* Black gel grips BT-16 Double trigger Pen Spring Mod X-core Expansion Chamber Vertical Adapter |

| Well i m figuring on the E-grip then. LOL its seems pretty clear most prefer it to response. Besides if you put RT you have to put that notch in the side of your gun. If you take it out the notch is still there |

Yeah thats the numbers I have been informed of probably could find a situation or 2 somewhere that is maybe 1 higher. 2 bps isn't enough to give up all the options of the egrip. ------------- A-5 E grippa! Mechanical grip 20 0z. Polished Interals Polished Barrel Lifes hard wear a helmet. |

The RT cannot hit 17 you idiot. You should know that. The cyclone can hit 17bps at the max before it starts to skip and chop balls. ------------- TIPPMANN 98 CUSTOM 14" Progressive barrel 32* Black gel grips BT-16 Double trigger Pen Spring Mod X-core Expansion Chamber Vertical Adapter |
