I'm thinking of upgrading to another gun in the future, possibly after the winter season. I'm using a l/p 98c with a long NW drop, and have been looking at the AGD RT PRO automag.
But, I like how mags are so compact and small, not to mention they have a solid durable feel. I also like the fact that they're not electric, and that they can still rip if need be.
I'm just wondering how user friendly they are? I've only extensively used a very beat up 68 automag (fox paintball's rentals), and surprizingly they were still pretty good.
I also can't decide which type of hopper configuration I'd like. Since I started on a tippmann 98, i typically like to aim down the barrel when at all possible. So I was thinking about getting the powerfeed right configuration. I play in the woods a lot of the time, and I like to have a wide range of view, which the left configuration would like. But, wouldn't using an elbow be a pain when running and sliding? I've seen a lot of guns and their elbows come flying off wasting a good deal of paint.
But, the ULE body would make it lighter and more compact, which are both good things. I'm just wondering how hard it is to aim these things. It seems like everyone else does just fine doing it. I tried simulating the vert feed with an autococker (at a store :)), i just kept both eyes open. It seemed to work decently, with a little distortion from the right eye behind the vert feed.
And about the trigger... I'd probably get an intellifeed, because they seem like a solid frame, and could provide a decently fast feed rate with an otherwise junky hopper (dunno if I want a HALO just yet).
Also, how efficient are the mags? I know they aren't the best with gas, but how many shots would i get out of a 68/3000 tank? And, would my preset (high output) PMI Pure energy tank pose ANY problems for the mag?
-edit-
Ah yes, I also read up on the velocity changes associated with rates of fire on the RT. I typically play in the woods, and my shooting isn't constant. I take a couple shots per person, but would like to use the RT Pro to lay down some serious paint on someone who's running. Would the velocity be inconsistent?
Thanks in advance, I look forward to any replies.
