I was doing a bit of research on the e-grip since i'm looking to replace my response trigger and i was wondering if it permits faster semi-auto capabilities because on this site: http://www.specialopspaintball.com/articles/tippmann_e-grip.asp - http://www.specialopspaintball.com/articles/tippmann_e-grip. asp it claims that "On semi-auto mode, the E-Grip doesn't shoot noticeably faster than the stock trigger." After playing around with my friend's invert mini, i became inlove with the light trigger pull and wanted that feel on my custom pro, along with the ripping bps. So I ask you guys this. Will I be able to shoot a LOT faster on semi-auto with the e-grip over the stock trigger? |

maby, you would have to use a pen spring to lighten the trigger pull. ------------- PSN Tag: AmmoLord XBL: xXAmmoLordXx ~Minister of Tinkering With Things That Go "BOOM!"(AKA Minister of Munitions)~ |

| Doesn't the bolt cycle for every trigger pull and release on semi-auto? I'm just asking because the article makes it seem as if you shouldnt expect any vast improvement over stock. I think that i was able to shoot 6-7 bps stock. I've also done the pen spring mod some other mods to facilitate finding the "sweet spot" on my response. I'm just hoping that the maker will cycle with every pull and release with no stutters with the e-grip. |

You could always switch the mode up to fire faster. there is ramping, 3 shot burst, full auto, rebound, so why not use it. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

I don't even use a spring on my e-gripped 98, and it works fine. The only thing is if I jump with the gun pointed straight up it shoots... I need to get a new, more walkable trigger though sometime soon, and when I'll probably mod it to be magnetic. |

No, semi-auto is one ball fired per trigger pull. The mode you're talking about is 'reactive' mode where the marker fires on each trigger pull and release. -------------

| Haha yea that's what i wanted to say, 1 shot for pull AND release, not 1 per pull then 1 per release. Thanks guys. I'll prolly do the magnet mod when my APE board comes in the mail. |

I believe there is a new version of the e-grip out because I just bought mine and I didn't need to turn anything to change modes. To change fireing mode on my e-grip you push a button in the grip. Also when you take out the battery it turns the marker off until you press a button in the grip. I don't belive any of the info in that link is up to date. |

The WAS board E-grips aren't that new. The original E-grips that you needed to use a screwdriver to change the modes and firing rates are ancient. I still have my old (analog I call it) board in case something happens to my Rampage board. -------------

too bad i don't have an a-5 edit: I'm leaning towards APE's magnetic trigger for the pro e. |

wait... im confused... So what is the big difference between an Etrigger and an Egrip? I know that one goes inside the grip on the custom pro and I guess the other one is the whole grip... but what are the major differences between them two? Is there a price difference as well? I remember someone telling me not to get an Egrip and just to get an Etrigger. ------------- black to blue fade Proto M6, Laser eyes, Dye UL 2 piece barrel, Hitman Grips.

I'm not 100% sure but... Etrigger drops in for the 98 since the grips don't detach. Egrip is the whole grip, used on A5s and X7s because you can replace the whole grip. |

Agreed. I have mine set for a 2mm pull. -------------

I don't know of any major differences. They should basically have the same WAS board. -------------

never heard of any difference. I think it may be the same thing on an A5. Get the grip if they are different though. That way if something happens where your electronics dont work (unlikely but just in case) you have the stock grip to throw on there to continue playing. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

Anybody find that pressing the button in the grip a great hassle? especially
mid-game? I would usually use a paperclip or a micro-screwdriver. I'm looking for a faster and easier on-the-go way to change modes... Any suggestions? ------------- Check out my website, tell me what you think: http://www.freewebs.com/christiansprojects |

You're generally not supposed to change modes in mid-game anyway. -------------

Ditto & The pre-WAS board would be much harder, messing around with a little screwdriver. ------------- 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 |

I cut a big-headed nail, and filed the head really thin so that I could have an external button, but its getting kind of annoying because sometimes when I run it'll change modes when my finger hits it. I have to change it a bit, though I might just ditch it. |
