    To Level 10 or not to Level 10

    I have a minimag with standard valve that I love. I can shoot pretty fast and haven't had any real chopping problems. Should I spend the money and get a Lvl 10 or buy something else (Intelli or Retro valve?)

    If you dont have a problem with chopping then I would not suggest buying something that solves the chopping problem.

    Check out the intelliframe, they are great.

      I don't have a problem with chopping so i didn't bother getting it...yet.

      I'm about to pay off my credit card bill so i just might pick it up for safeties sake, and because i don't like money burning a hole in my wallet :)

      My Mag's pretty much complete and i have nothing left to do to it, so i say if you're not chopping buy something else.

        Level 10 is not only a solution to the chopping problem. It's also very gentile on paint (allowing a mag to shoot and love very brittle paint). It also has the new superbolt which reduces kick (and a lil weight). I say level 10 all the way!

            it slows the rate a few BPS...not all that much to notice, really. i wouldn't worry about it.

              Hmm

              Yes it seams like it can slow it down if the balls are not feeding fast enough but.... having it go a little slower and actualy hitting something is better then shooting corkscrews every which way

                Well not having it feed fast enough won't be a prob, I'll have a warp in a few days. Because I'm adding a warp, should I get it, or will I be fine without it, like I said before, I never really had a problem with chopping, and I hardly short stroke, and I can still lay some heavy paint

                    Well ive nevver chopped a single ball in my RT but i still got Lvl10. wWy you ask because its is A LOT more gentle on paint and i can not feel any Kick at all and i mean NONE when i shoot.

                      You must not have see the "Mag's Can't do THAT!" video. I'm sure level 10 slows things down a bit, but it's still capible of 20bps on an RT. I would not count the slowdown as a problem. If you are shooting too fast for a classic valve, get a ReTro. You can even transfer the level 10 kit to it. If you think you need more than 20bps, good luck feeding it, and seek professional help.

                        For once Transman, I will have to agree with you. I noticed a big difference in the recoil! Actually, I couldn't feel it at all. I'm definitely happy with my lvl 10 upgrade!
