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.

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).

your battery will NEVER die in the middle of a game, because its noticable when it starts to die, it doesnt all of a sudden stop working. then when you start to notice that its dieing, hopefully youll be smart enough to change it. people say that it dies in the middle of a game when theyve never owned one.

you dont "fry" circuits in the egrip, its made so it wont happen, and they recently lowered the price to 100 dollars now, so the egrip is cheap also.

^ 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.

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.

I had a R/T for 3 months and I going to pick up my E-grip tomorrow if that tells you anything!

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

yes, the r/t can hit 17, but the egrip is maxed at 15, its true.

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.

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.
