Classic Valve and Shootdown

[speedyejl]

When does the classic valve get shootdown? Just wondering because If I get a Hyperframe I might be able to sell my retro

[BajaBoy]

um strings is when it gets shootdown, just like everyother gun

[EnW]

I read here somewhere that it would do like 11-12 before shootdown.
Just what i read though..no confirmation.

why would you sell your retro?

[speedyejl]

cause i figure if i get a hyperframe, it woulnt do anything for me

[Schnitzel]

i c your thinking.

i think the shoot-down threshold for classic valves is somewhere near 16BPS. As for the retro, it can acheive 22BPS without shoot-down. I know hyperframes are set at 13, but it's nice to have that extra insurance. Besides you've already got it, they're not so easy to find used and in good condition.

but if you want more money, go ahead and make someone happy around here.

nail on the head more or less. but then do i really want the hyper frame?

[Schnitzel]

well, lemme tell you of an experience i had...

i borrowed my dad's intelliframe, in combination with my retro. I played with a friend with the same basic setup as myself, but he had a Hyperframe. We both decided to let loose at the same time, and i was able to keep up with a little effort. Save yourself $200 and get an intelliframe. Plus I've heard of lvl 10 + Hyperframe presents some problems.

i just realized that the total cost of my gun is equivalent to that of a Emag!

Maybe i should just sell it and go E?

Why don't you hold onto the retro, and use your classic. If it works out, then sell the retro, if not keep the retro...
