| Is there any real downside to "upgrading" my 98c with a pen spring mod? What type of pen can I get where the spring that is too thick so I can go full auto? |

a pen spring mod is supposed to lighten your trigger pull by putting in a light pen spring. not make it thicker... right? ------------- http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=5504952">

You don't want to do this, trust me, your gun will turn into a blender.

Just look for a top-clicking pen and use the spring from it. You will probably have to cut it to fit. No downside to it. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

| The pen spring mod is just replacing the trigger return spring with a lighter spring for a lighter pull. It won't allow you to go full auto or become a blender. It's not really much of a performance increase and it doesn't really have a negative aspect but some people prefer it to the stock spring. I took mine out all together since I have the rt to return the trigger for me. |

| Don't waste your time on the trigger spring. It will do nothing to affect your gun's performance. If you really want to do something, take it out altogether. |

Trigge spring mods are useless. Take it out if you must.

in my experience you should completly take it out. it really only works with electric guns. i did it once and saw a rof increase but it wobbles a lot and i play woodsball anyways so i put it back on. so in my opinion: good for speedball, bad for woodsball ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

it doesn't really do anything. it's a placebic affect. if you're going to do it, might as well take it all the way out. ------------- X |

this is the truth.
This is only true if you have an e-grip. If your gun is mech, stock or with r/t, the trigger spring does nothing but make the pull harder. Take it out completely, and it will work fine, but be much lighter. ------------- Tippmann A-5 Polished Internals E-Grip Ape Board JCS Blade Trigger QEV 8" Bigshot + Apex Ricochet R-5 / Tac Cap Palmers Stabilizer 68/4500 Crossfire |

Not sure, give it a try, you can always put it back if it doesnt work. If you have the E-grip, you might as well do the pen spring mod though. ------------- 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 |
