What would be a better choice for my a-5, a e-grip or a response trigger? I heard the e-grip is not weather proof. can anyone help me decide, i play mostly woodsball.

For woodsball i suggest the R/T because you dont need to shoot as fast as the e grip can.... plus the rt is enough for a great woodsball experience

Unless you play in the rain, or in swampy areas, then I'd get the E-grip. You can put it on full-auto just like what the r/t does, but you can also swittch it to semi and a bunch of other modes. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

Normally I'd recommend the e-grip, mostly becuase if someone ever went
into a tournament. But since you said you playwoodsball, I'm gonna say
go with the R/T. The e-grip doesn't like water/moisture, where as the
R/T doesn't have a problem. Go with the R/T.

(correct me if I'm wrong) and I dont think R/T's are capped. some people have gotten them into the 21-23 BPS range -------------

Go with the rt. You dont need full auto in the woods. My friend e-grip messes up on his and eats co2 like crazy. Plus a Tippmann doesnt need any electronics in it. - My opinion ------------- Only Hugh can prevent florist friars. |

As stated earlier to correct that second post, the RT is faster then the Egrip (maybe not WAS board, not sure). However, on the A-5 what caps your BPS is the feeding of the cyclone. After a little practice and proper tuning with the RT you can shoot semi/slow or rapid full auto, without changing anything but your trigger pull. If you want tourny then get the e-grip, but if you want tourny then I wouldn't use the A-5 anyway. Don't sink that kind of money into a Tippmann, better bargains are to be had and only get better with time. ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

E-grip. I played a 24hr (Avalon) with my egrip, it rained for over half of the game. I just put some electrical tape over the adjustment holes and never had a problem. -------------

Yeah Tigman's 98 is very fast, he would probably need a Q-loader or something to feed it. ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

If you got the money for it there is nothing wrong with a waterproofed e-grip, it only has more potential to leave you with a non working marker. If the RT gets you the same result and is legal where you play, is less expensive, and more robust, and consumes no batteries, you decide what value it is to you. ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |
