not sure why it's called "runaway" since all you have to do is finish the trigger pull or let go and it stops, but that is not main question.
I have been hearing this often. Rapidfiring your Mag (that has the RT valve) is an BAD thing (specifically BAD). I have been running 900-950 input on both my 6 year old RT AND my new RT Pro. I don't play with it like this all the time but I make use of it from time to time (back off Steelrat ;)
Are you suggesting that if I fired 100 rounds pulling the trigger and then did another 100 rounds rapidfiring the gun that somehow those second 100 rounds wore away something more than the first 100 rounds did?
That doesn't sound logical to me. I can see that if one rapidfired all day long, he would cycle the gun much more than if he pulled the trigger each time and thus more cycles OVERALL=more wear.
But same # or shots fired at 20bps vs 2bps would seem to have no effect on wear.
I only see 2 negative aspects:
-poor paint and air conservation.
-illegal in a tornament and most fields
