What do you think of the z valve From Galactic systemz Inc.?

[A.T.S]

??? I Hav not the money for the retro valve will this work well? will it damage anything?

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

i thin they are crap, but i never used one so i cant really say that, but i have herd agd parts work best.

[Dayspring]

Won't damage anything. But you're better off staying with AGD parts. Just how it is. They are better than any aftermarket one out there. Save up for the retro. It's SOOOOO worth it.

lol ill put in my question here then to save some room

does the rt valve do anything other than recharge faster and bump your finger back? does it make your trigger lighter or any jazz like that?

while i heard good thigns about the z valve i dont think its worth the cash imo

[BajaBoy]

save for a retro, its worth the money

[Miscue]

Z-Valves are a waste. Save for RetroValve.

What? You want more than the fastest recharging valve in paintball today?

Try this-

Uses only HPA- more stable a gas for paintball purposes. (cleaner & less thermally reactive)

Reactive Trigger- allows for faster firing rates. Also started the revolution for "Reactive Triggers"

Fast Recharging- NO shootdown. EVER.

Made by AGD- means it will work w/o the hype! No Elves here!

If you haven't shot one, do it. Then come back and sing it's praises.

Why????

Why are they a waste? What problems do they have? I am a rec. player. I do not need to shoot super fast for long periods of time so I don't need the fast recharge rate of the retro valve. It would cost me $400 to get one because I only have co2. My velocity is consistent enough on my co2+remote set up that the ball goes where I point the gun. At this time I have no desire For H.P.A. I used a reactive trigger on a tippmann98 and loved it I could get 2-3 shot bursts with out thinking. With my mag I have a tendency to yank the gun ever so slightly when firing 2-3 shot bursts. All I want is a reactive trigger to make it easer. I do not like double triggers. Please do not tell me that it is not AGD so it sucks. I only want to hear from those of you who have had experience with it. (If you have one, have used one, have a friend who uses one, etc.) I realize that the retro valve is probably better, but I do not think it is worth the money for my purposes. Thank you for your time!

What we're saying is that AGD's design is the best you can get (Stock, Retro or otherwise). There's no reason to spend the $ for not that big of a performance gain (if any).

I Know that AGD bad *** products! Dude! I want a reactive trigger!!! the z-valve is a reactive trigger for under 50 bucks!!! I simply can not rationalize spending $400 when all I want is a gun that will push the trigger back for me. I could get 2 new R/T tippmanns for that price. All I Want is the reactive trigger!

[Dayspring]

I don't believe it's a reactive trigger. The reason the RT kicks the trigger rod out is b/c they redesigned the airflow. I don't believe the Z-Valve does this. It's a lateral move. No upgrade at all. Get us now?

[A.T.S]

Check it out on their website.http://www.galacticz.com/index.html
It is under Accessories then look at valves.

[Dayspring]

Crap. they're just replacing the on/off pin and a small valve part. Not enough for a significant difference.

Save the $ and buy some paint.

*EDIT*- The Reactive effect is because of the re-routed air flow. This will lighten the trigger a pinch, but by no means will it give the reactive trigger that the Retro can.

And where are you getting a Retro Valve for $400? (Just noticed that) Um, they are alot less than that. Especially if you take the "Go Retro" deal from AGD.

[ghideon]

The $400 tag comes from the fact that he would have to move from CO2 to HPA if he were to go retro. So figure $200 for a decent HPA tank.

[Dayspring]

Crossfire tanks are $100-$150 or so. Decent Tank. Find one used. Even better.

Still- Z-Valve is crap.
