How is the xvalve different from my rt-pro valve?(with the level10 kit) What kind of benefits will there be?
I think my gun shoots pretty good but If there is something better I would like to upgrade.
What is a reactive trigger? If I put a constant pressure on my trigger it will fire a few shots on its own. If I get it right I can shoot pretty quick but its nothing special. How is the xvalve going to be different? And my gun doesn't break balls with its current setup.
Thanks.

The X-valve is identical the the retro valve except it is aluminum and 3oz lighter. That's all.

And every xvalve accepts the ULT. Not every RT valve will, some needs to be drilled to accept the ULT.
:D

So the xvalve is pretty much useless?

It is the best valve available, and the only RT valve still in production.

If you had a choice of buying an RT/E-mag valve and an X-valve, both used, you would have to decide how much more you would be willing to pay for the slightly-lighter X-valve.

Don't forget that the X-valve also comes with LVL 10 standard.

Edit: I would say that it would be a nearly useless upgrade from an RT-Pro valve w/ LVL 10.

Depends on your needs.

Oh, and a reactive trigger (in all of the RT family of valves) means that it returns with more force than it took to pull the trigger.

For more reactivity, use a higher output HPA tank. 900-1200 psi seems to work best for most people.
