    Posted: 05 August 2005 at 12:26am

Hey guys,

I have an A5 w/ Dye Ultralite 14" Barrel w/ Stock trigger, I have heard good things about the EGrip, and I can get a combo package discount with the JCS Duel Trigger (a trigger that has gotten very good reviews also).

I have two questions..

#1: Sometimes as a lefty I have problems hitting the safety switch, with my A5 with the JCS Duel Trigger will it eliminate that problem.  I have heard the JCS Duel Trigger to activate safety, you  have to push the trigger forward than hit the safety button.  I just want to confirm if this is true?

#2: The only mode that is allowed at my field would be Semi-Auto, that is probably the only thing I will be ever using, anywhere.. depending if a scenario allows fully or not.   But I would also like to confirm if I have EGrip/JCS Duel Trigger would Co2 be allright to use with EGrip on Semi-Auto?

CO2 will work fine. You can probly get away with auto-response on a normal field.

The setup in my sig is my gun.

Heres your answers.

1.  The JCS trigger and egrip wont help you there but that cant be that big of a deal just reach with your right hand to turn off safe.  Yes you do have to push the JCS forward sometimes to put it on safe but also not a big deal.  Sometimes it goes forward on its own.

2.  Semi-auto is a very fast deal with the JCS trigger and egrip.  Ive achieved 12/13 bps with co2 and 13/14 bps with HPA.  Co2 works fine and doesnt cause damage but it does freeze more easily when walking the trigger.  Just do your best to keep oust the liquid.  HPa would be a good investment though.

Have fun with the e-grip and JCs.  Definitely worth the money.  Just read the adjustment setup instructions for the trigger and set it right and get ready to rip on it!

Do you have the need for speed?

Thanks for the answers but I might of worded #1 a little wrong and you might not of understood what I was trying to say. 

I didn't mean it is hard to hit the safety in, but while I am shooting my gun, it is a 4 on 1 speedball game, people coming in at all directions, Im lefty and shooting wildly, the side of my hand hits the safety while I am firing (cause its on the left side), I pop up a guy right in front of me I could of had him, but my safety I realized was by accidently pushed in.  It happened 8 times at my indoor field (small airball field).

I was saying will the JCS Duel Trigger with it pushing the trigger forward eliminate that problem while shooting by accidently hitting the safety?

A-5 pro you just said you dont know how to put upgrades on an A-5, now you got a shocker with a 9ounce tank?  if you walk 12bps on it it isnt that much for a shocker, Your "a-5" with regular e-grip will outwalk 12bps.  Plus youd use that tank so fast if you walk with your shocker, 9oz doesnt get that many shots.

I dont beileve anything you say anymore

sup guys, newbie to the forum here, but i also have a question.

i just ordered an e-grip with the blade, but i bought it not knowing completely what its firing modes are capable of.

i know that it shoots, semi, 3 rb, turbo, response, and fullauto. but, what exactly is turbo, and response. i'v read things like "every pull and release...." but i dont entirely understand it. some one please explain it to me.

***pretend your explaining it to a retard , cause im extremely slow when it comes to learning new things. lol. thnx***

 

O YEAH!!!!! i forgot. one more question, is it true that you can adjust the trigger pull on the jcs blade on the e-grip? so that i can "walk"

turbo- if you pull the trigger and let go within a 1/4 of a second you shot 2 shots not 1 like semi.  Most people can easily pull the trigger and release in a 1/4 second

Response is one shot for when you pull the trigger and another shot for when you release it. Yes, you can walk it.

I think it should eliminate the problem at least what some other people have been saying at other forums.

i have an egrip with a gta double and i can walk it.  I just had to make a trigger stop but the pull is lighter and shorter than a mouse click.  Also my gun was capped and 16 bps and i can walk it 13 to 14 bps.

is it true that the RT can get fullauto if you pull the trigger to some degree? if so, then can you do that with the response setting on the e-grip?
