I picked up an RT today, and my arm still hurts.

[WetPaint]

The PB store had a couple hanging on the wall, thinking it was the ULE, I asked to take a look. Picked one up, *oof** compared to my old F1 Illustrator, this thing weights a TON! I'd estimate it at least 6 lbs..

Question: Is the RT-ULE custom, with all aluminum parts significantly lighter then the original all-steel RT?
Anyone know it's weight? If it's "only" a 54% weight reduction as stated on the AGD site, it would still be twice as heavy as the F1..

my am/mm converted RTP with barrel is close to sub 2lbs. Search by my user name and the thread should come up...

Try doing some pushups or lifting weights. :)

lol 2lbs, my trix weights 4.6 lbs, plus a 70 ci. plus a halo, thats 9 lbs....

running to the snake on the break , while being shot at by semi-pro teams takes it's toll on a 5'3'' guy like me :D

The Origional RT is alot heavier than the new ULE rt pros. I guarentee you that. I have a hyperframed RT classic sitting in my room and it is pretty heavy. I think the weight is kind of nice though, it feels solid.

If you can't hold it than you should not buy it.If you can't hold a RT classic than i feel bad for you.

Amen! The way I see it, they heavier it is, the harder to break it. I'd still stick with my ULE though. It's just nice to not have to carry the extra weight. I mean, I already have to lug my 180 lb., 5'6" *** around the field.

good job guys! 9 posts that dont have a dam thing to do with the question. Ironic, you will also be the same folks complaining that AO is going the way of pbn.

my RTC weights 2lbs and i felt the weight of the original rt...if you cant hold it your really sad :(

[AGD-OfficeGal]

We figure the shipping weight of the RT ULE Custom marker at 5 pounds ... that includes the packing box, the gun box, and whatever configuration (even steel mainbody) with extra kit pieces and stuff. The boxes themselves add a fair amount of weight.

That's all I can tell you.

If that made you go *oof* well, thats pathetic.

Hey everybody don't make fun of his chicken arms! :mad: He probably can't help it. :D ;)

[GoatBoy]

Hey guys, do you cup your hands when you pound your chests? OOh OOh OOh! *thump thump*



Anyways, the ULE's come in around 2.5-ish pounds depending on what you stuff on it. It's really too bad the intelliframe seems as heavy as it is.

I find myself going back to this post quite a bit and pondering things:

So, yeah, not quite an F1, but you get a little extra for the weight.



Incidentally, the F1's are one of my favorite guns. I remember them back in the day; well made, light, efficient. Too bad ACI had to trash it up. I almost bought an AFT; in retrospect, I should have just bought it.

I used a guys classic RT last weekend with an 88ci tank and Halo... talk about hefty. He bought that gun when the RT's first came out and the thing still shoots beautifuly.
