R/Ts are full auto triggers only. The E-Bolt is selectable and cannot be changed during a game. The choices are semi-auto, full auto, 3 shot burst, 6 shot burst and Turbo. You have to open the grips and set the mode with a probe by moving dip switches. There are no external buttons to easily changed. Thus it stays legal, no auto modes, during play.

If you are having to physically relieve pressure on the trigger by releasing your finger then you haven't gotten the R/T adjusted correctly. What do you think would be the point of having a gas powered piston push the trigger back to the reset point if you had to release finger pressure on the trigger. If you release finger pressure then there is no reason to have an R/T. The R/T pushes the trigger forward to allow reset of the decoupler so the sear release will engage again. The reset piston is much more powerful than your finger pull. The object of the design is to allow you to hold continuous pressure on the trigger. The trigger gets reset even with finger pressure on the trigger so the gun fires again...without you ever having to lighten up.

Fields that do not allow full auto do not allow the R/T trigger system BECAUSE IT IS FULL AUTO. No parsing of words here, you hold finger pressure on the trigger and it jumps under your finger firing and resetting firing and resetting at 12+ bps. Any other conclusion about its intended function is an exercise in semantics.

There are several real weapons of war bullet firing machine guns that work exactly this way...the trigger is reset by the gas pressure of the burning gun powder.

get a smaller barrell (lapco bigshot 8.5" excellent barrells)

R-trigger < cheap and can go fast ok upgrade part for your marker

There have been some changes since these pictures were posted, but the barrels are not likely to change in either of our markers. The Hammerhead is a jewel shooting 8" groups at 150 ft. My son's Stone Cold II barrel allows him take up possition on the back line and eliminate 6 out of 7 players on the other team (he did that last time we played) With the right paint, we have found nothing more accurate.

Good looking is one thing, but function is the word. We are both noted for holding the other team in check while staying on the backline...allowing our team to move and take them out. We take a lot of effort to assure accuracy. We have our own field type chronograph ($82 used on Ebay) and a new handheld chronograph that counts bps. We run a lot of paint through our markers to assure that the paint is right (we size our paint) and the markers are consistent. Though we do lay down more paint these days than we used to, but we try to avoid the "spray and pray" methods of most speedball players. Both my son and I make a LOT of one shot kills.
