      I really don't know why you need a video of this

      Plenty of people (myself included) use Gen2 Micromags with X-valves or R/T valves and get them to R/T... The only thing that some Gen2 Micros need is a little sanding in the breech so that the lvl10 doesn't get hung up but even then that would not just effect your ability to R/T but your ability to use the marker at all with any lvl10-equipped valve that you put in there.

      If you're having trouble getting your marker to R/T, it's probably not because it's a Gen2 Micromag. More likely it's just that you (and 95% of players using automags, myself included until someone showed me how) need some help getting it set up properly. It's been said several times in this thread; there's no magic setup, just experimentation with a good knowlege of what needs to be tweaked, tuned and installed. Until you have that knowlege you might as well have one hand tied behind your back when you're trying to tune your marker.

      This thread might be a good jumping off point: http://www.automags.org/forums/showthread.php?t=246512

          If so many people have gen 2s that RT well then why cant I find any vids on you tube or here showing it? It is not that I don't believe it I just would like to see some and I did not realize that was so much to ask. I do not even have an RT valve for mine yet so part of my request is just out of anticipation.

            Probably because most people over the age of 25 don't put videos on YouTube, and the marker was released 15+ years ago...

            How many videos of Gen2 Micromags are there on YouTube anyway? How many videos of Micromags in general? Or even of just R/T tuned automags? If you take into consideration just how many automags are out there and what (small) percentage of them are Micromags? Then, out of all the Micromags, what (also small) percentage of them are Gen2?

            The lack of evidence is not the evidence of lack, ESPECIALLY when your only source of "evidence" is YouTube videos.

              Where else would paintball videos be posted? I just recently purchased a micro after being away from the sport for about 10 years. When I was playing paintball the RT was state of the art, I got out of the sport shortly after.

              Recently I began becoming more interested in the sport again and since I was always a Mag fan figured I would pickup another micro...so I did.

              Now the guns which were cool or top of the line have become antiques in the sport. I stick by mags and put more on the player than the gun anyway. I started searching youtube for micromags but came up with pretty much nothing (besides a guy with a video of a micro which he does not fire).

              If there are no videos then so be it but if there are then I would like to see them thats all.
