    Can you short stoke a retro valve mag?

    I have been out of paintball for 5 years but I have returned for round 2. I upgraded to a brand x electric trigger gun and I need a back up gun. I have an old mag laying around and I am thinking about putting a retro valve in it for a back up gun. I always hated how the original valve would short stoke at times. (Yea I know...my fault...learn to pull the trigger right.) Can you short stoke a retro valve mag?

    One other thing. Where do I go to change my profile?

              Uhhh....well if you are looking for the really high rate of fire then go ReTro. I dont think it eliminates short-stroking but I believe it will help a lot. I really dunno becuase I dont even want a retro (I dont have that kind of money to use on paint and a fast loader). BUT..you can get the Level 10 Mod when it comes out, this will completely eliminate chopping forever, so if you short-stroke you might have a double feed but thats all. No chops, search for ALL LVL10 INfo and read the post - I just love what these guys come up with. Also the bolt is 42% lighter than a stock bolt, weighing in at 1.16 oz (wow). The upgrade is like $85 as I hear.

                  Lemee see.
                  Makes sense that the RT would atleast reduce shortstroking, because of the kick back of the trigger. I have never really thought about it but it sounds like it would work

                      I think if you really tried, you could short stroke a ReTro. Notice that I say try, 'cause in normal usage I have yet to short-stroke the ReTro.

                      btw- Get a RetRo & your new "brand x electric" may actually become your backup...

                          You can short stroke it, but chances are, you will hit the sweet spot before you do. Your gun will go full auto for a brief period.
