| This may have already been discussed. If not which do you think is better for the A5, Response Trigger or E-Grip. Why? |

I got R/T b/c its cheaper and I guess impler, Plus from what Ive heard some fields dont allowed electronics but idk if thats true. I just like the mechanics of the R/t more than the "simplicity" of the E-grip I guess. ------------- ~Marker setup~ 2K1 Autococker Rt Feed 12in Freak ANS 3-Way Black Houge Grip Shocktech Drop Forward TippmannA5 16in J&Jceramic r/t 2X trigger Blue Dye c4 |

Response triggers are illegal at most fields and in all tournaments due to their capacity to sweet-spot or go full auto.
Go with the e-grip just as effective but legal most places. |

u can play at fields with the rt if u allow them to adjust the rt to rid them their worries (i had 2 do it before) then when the days over u can sweetspot it again for fields that allow rt....rt is great because no elctronics to mess u up so rt>e-grip -------------

If I were you I would get the E-grip becasue the e-grip has mutiplie modes and you can not use the r/t in tourneys.

| One of my reasons for going to the e-grip is to conserve air. If I go with the e-grip i should be able to play longer. Right? |

| Also how would I tweak my response trigger, so it will work better and more efficient. |

The E-Grip will not use any less air that the R/T. You "sweetspot" the R/T by turning the knob/screw on the side of the grip-frame in and out until you achieve Trigger Bounce which gives you a "full-auto" effect. -------------

| I thought the rt ran off of the air, and the e-grip ran off of a battery. |

| and with the R/T you can chose what you wont a 3 shot burst by holding it down or a 1 shot pr full auto by holding it half way. but i dont know if a electric can do that |

Nitro tanks aren't measured in ounces. They're measure in CU (cubic units - being the size of the tank), and psi (being the internal pressure of the tank). And fills are about the same as CO2, maybe a little more. Usually around 5-10 bucks. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

What are you talking about?!?! The r/t has all and more settings than the egrip. It uses a full auto mode, which is actually giving you every mode there is. The r/t uses the excess air after each shot to fire a piston behind the trigger making a bounce effect on your finger. It can be modded up to 22+ bps. The egrip is capped at 15, which is what the cyclone feeds. If you play woodsball, get the r/t for its price. If you play tourneys or speedball (r/t is usually illegal for its bounce capabilities) get the egrip. |

no... the r/t uses blowback gas ------------- 98% of ion owners think ions are better than any high end gun. If you would like to bonus ball these idiots put this in your sig. Proud owner of 3 guns and counting. |

Get the R/T So that you don't have to worry about water gettin into your trigger. Also you don't have to buy batterys every time you play!!! everytime you buy a battery it'll add up. And the rechargable batterys don't work that well after a while.. ------------- shut up..or i'll blast ur a$$.... |
