I need help picking an upgrade for my gun. I already added a Electronic Hopper and a 14" J&J Ceramic Barrel. I play woodsball and need something reliable with a low-cost. I was looking at a closed bolt system also known as rocket cock, but I wasn't positive on how much it would do. Please post your feedback. Thank You ------------- 98 Custom Pro A.C.T.

Okay, first things first. A rocket-cock doesn't mean you have a closed-bolt system. When you refer to closed bolts in paintball (as well as fire-arms) you are referring to the actual bolt (the part in front of the valve that pushes the ball into the breech and channels the flow of air to the ball) being in the forward position with a ball in the breech while the marker is in a resting (I.E. non-firing/non moving) state. Autocockers are closed bolt markers as were/are AKA Excaliburs and a few other.
As for the usefulness of a rocket-cock, while it's nice that it can keep dirt out of the hammer tube and you don't have the charging handle sticking out and moving back and forth to the exposed world when you fire, it's mainly cosmetic. If you want to close up the marker AND get effective results, I suggest looking into saving up for a Low-Pressure-Kit. It make the marker rear-cocking, seals up the charging handle window, adds in consistency and helps to save on the amount of air used. My personal suggestion though is to not worry about the cocking system right now and get something like a palmer's stabilizer to help regulate CO2/HPA flow and give you more consistency and more shots per tank (by a few). ------------- <Removed overly wide sig.

^I agree that you should look into an expnasion chamber of sorts before a rocket-cock. In fact, rather than picking up a rocket cock, I would suggest trying to find a rear cocking system as it is less bulky.

Ok, I've looked into Palmer's Stabilizers but, the price is high and I would rather not mess with the hose system. I might get the rear cocking system. Please continue to post your advice.

The rear cocking system doesn't work with the A.C.T. models. I have an A.C.T. model.

Sorry, I didnt think to check your sig. What are you looking for out of your gun? Are there any areas you notice while playing that lack? ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

I need to shot a tad faster then 8bps I need around 10bps. Is there any upgrades that will do that or increase the bps other then the e-bolt, e-trigger, or the reponse trigger? ------------- 98 Custom Pro A.C.T.

ya, other than trigger mods theres nothing you can do short of the RT or egrip. Ebolts are hard to find these days and expensive, so i wouldnt bother one for you. look into an x-chamber, it will help your accruacy so you wont need the extra bps to hit people ------------- 98CP ACT R/T J&J Ceramic 14" Egg II w Z-Board GTA Inline X-Chamber NCStar Red-Dot Pen Spring Mod Trigger Stops Polished Internals Dye Sticky Grip 20oz Co2 w On/Off Next Up: Spimmy |

I would rather not mess with moding a $189.00 gun. I'm afraid to mess somethin up and not be able to fix it. I have no paintball shops to fix my mess up. I want a cheap part that could increase the bps rate a bit. The r/t is starting to feel like I need. What do you think about the r/t? Please continue to post feedback and advice.

The RT is a nice upgrade for Tippmanns. It increases the ROF quite a bit and functions well in any conditions. It is not tourney legal, but that's not a big deal. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

How hard is the r/t to install? Does it mess with the gas lines and having to seal the gas lines back up, because I would rather not do that. Like I said if I mess up I'm out $189.00+. ------------- 98 Custom Pro A.C.T.

Seriously, Tippmanns are almost impossible to mess up beyond repair. Ive done almost all of the listed trigger mods from the website I linked to, and only like 1 of them involves actually altering an existing part on the gun. Trigger stops are easy to make, either replacing or removing your trigger spring is a cakewalk and wont screw up your gun, and if you really wanted to you could expiriment into trying to make your sear spring lighter. The last one takes a lot of time to perfect, but you dont have to do it if you dont want to. You can do all this for pretty much no cost - they just require a little bit of time. -------------

I added a clicky pen spring for the stock trigger spring. Should increase BPS by a little. I have no paint and cannot test it but seems like it should work. I will try some of the other mods thanks Yomillio. Please continue to post feedback and advice. Thank You. ------------- 98 Custom Pro A.C.T.

Would a Remote-Line do the job of a X-Chamber? Post your feedback and advice. Thank You. ------------- 98 Custom Pro A.C.T. Realtree Camo Double Trigger Drop Forward 20.oz & 14.oz CO2 14" J&J Ceramic Barrel Gravity Hopper Pen Spring Mod TAPCO Adjustable Stock Soon.. Tippmann Remote Line |

Just performance I'm on a small paintball team getting ready to go semi-pro nothing big yet. I play woodsball and just need consistent performance out my gun. I need a upgrade with the BPS which the mod helped. Other than that the Remote-Line should act as a X-Chamber and give my CO2 performance and upgrade. I want to know if the R/T is worth the $65.00 or if I should go with the E-Trigger at $34.00 more? Please continue post feedback and advice. Thank You. ------------- 98 Custom Pro A.C.T.

get the etrigger its awsome if you use full auto on it your shooting 17-18 bps but if you get that and use full auto then you'll probally want to get a cyclone feeder or some other type of electric hopper. ------------- tippmann custom pro E-trigger cyclone feeder 21" core barrel or 11" stock barrel 20 and 9 oz co2 tanks or Brass Eagle Talon Ghost with copperhead red dot scope and a wooden stock |

Ok, I might have to just get the E-Trigger with the Cyclone Feed System. There goes my money. H/O I'm asking my mom for $170.00 for paintball. Dang, she said, "NO!." Well I'll be back I have to go find a job. Thanks for the feedback and advice. Greatly appreciated. ------------- 98 Custom Pro A.C.T.
