gassing up rt pro

[DaosBeoulve]

Sometimes it's necessary to hold the trigger down, but only if the gun's giving you a lot of problems gassing it up(easy fix sometimes). If you don't have to and it gasses up fine, then don't hold the trigger in=)

When you put oil in it, don't forget to leave the barrel off so you don't get oil all in there. Causes paint balls to act very strangely. Dry fire about 20-30 shots without the barrel, and then you should be good to go.

Have fun with 'er. Gosh they're so much fun to shoot=)

thx for the tips bud! i've dry fired it quite a bit more than 30 shots (it's just fun watching the bolt strike and the sound of the shot!)

i think i'm good to go...

oh Covadsucks, i'll be playing at TAG in santa cruz tomorrow....you're more than welcome to play man! the more mags the better! if you see a guy with an rt-pro with black tank cover, clear warp, and smoke revvy, that would be me.

we'll prolly be there by 9am...i'm unsure if i'm gonna play the whole day or half day...

if any other bay area guys have some free time and can make it out to TAG tomorrow, i'll see ya there!

thanks again everybody for the tips!

When you hold the trigger back..make sure it's all the way back.. and you hold it until the tank is completely screwed in.. once the tank is all the way in... quickly release the trigger.. don't let it out slowly or else the reg will slow charge and the bolt will float on the air, instead of engaging the sear. Also make sure you chrono it correctly

good tips guys!

i watched the video about chronographing the marker and remembered that i needed to hold the trigger down fully and release and pull a quick shot and hold the trigger down again...this would get me accurate ball speeds to dial in the regulator.

one of my coworkers had an automag classic. one had an angel. the other had a bushmaster. they all liked mine.

and i had TONS of people come up to me gawking at my setup and the marker...and a few of the employees at the field admired the marker commenting "they dont see too many rt pro's or automags around here"...including a cute blond chick (maybe she's reading this right now!) who liked my rt-pro. everybody noted how heavy my setup was but after a few games, i got used to it. i chopped once but i think it was because i was still getting used to the trigger and i shortstroked it. i think i'll get a level 10 but it's not needed immediately since it's getting colder and i dont think we'll play as often. my friend had an autococker that he was gonna use but he sprained his ankle descending a steep grade (i was covering him). i ran up to him and asked if he was ok. he just yelled "gimme my gun!" and he started firing at the opponents while he was sprawled all over the ground. after the game was over, i helped him up to his feet and we walked back to the staging area. he was out for the day.

all in all, it was a blast playing with the rt-pro! i had to fill my tank up twice (68/4500) but i dont think the field was able to fill my tank to 4500 each time.

i need to pickup some ammo pods and harness too now. for some odd reason, i go through paint alot faster with the rt-pro!

now i gotta clean my mask and marker up...

thanks again guys for the support and for reading this if you made it this far.

My first night with a rental. Less than 500 balls.
My first day with a RT. 1300+ balls.
Second day with a rental. Little less than 750 balls.
Second day with a RT (RT Pro actually). Over 2200 balls.

I ended up buying a 4 pod harness on the 4th day. If I go through less than a hopper and 2 pods in a game, I count myself lucky (or hit on the break).

I think most of us can relate in some fashion or another.

the last time i went paintballing and used a rental, i fired 500 balls throughout the entire DAY!

today, i only went through less than 1500 paintballs. i would have used more, but i only had one mini-pod that i borrowed from my friend and i had kept it in my pant pocket...sometimes when i was crawling along the ground, the pod would slip out of my pocket. then i would realize it a few yards later, and try to crawl backwards....does anybody know how hard it is to crawl backwards uphill ?

going off topic, i've always lived in san jose...i'm a lurker here on the forum....i mainly check in every now and then and read about what's been going on lately.

flatacid, i did NOT get my rt-pro from i&i sports. they don't seem too keen on automags in general and usually like to push bushmasters or autocockers or angels. plus, they have a few guys in the shop that give me the feeling that they don't want me in their shop. for example, if i was to come in just to check stuff out, one of them would come up to me and ask bluntly what i needed, what i was looking to buy, what he could help me with, etc. when i told him i was just checking things out, he seemed agitated about that.

on the other hand, another guy in the same store is really cool--you can just walk in and he'll talk and talk about paintballing.

i bought a case of house paint for $45 and the guy in the shop was very helpful and he told me the paint is consistent and they've had great success with the paint. i think the paint was a good deal and i shared some with my coworkers and they liked it compared to the diablo paint they were using (the diablo paintballs were undersized for their barrels). so, i'd buy little stuff like bottle covers or paint or valve nipples. but if you want to get an rt-pro, i would suggest looking elsewhere. I&I also has a hefty markup on all their markers. PM me if you need help finding a place to get an rt-pro.

any of you rt-pro owners feeling a "night and day" difference when going with a level 10? my gun shot so well today, that i started having second doubts about getting a level 10...i could use the 80 bucks on alot of other things. i chopped once but i think that was my fault for shortstroking. i suppose the level 10 just acts as insurance against chopping.

anyways, is anybody working on an ammo backpack that feeds to the marker? it would save time from having to stop, pull a pod, reload hopper, stow pod. i know it's wishful thinking, but with the rate i'm going, i'm gonna be using a case of paint each game! well, not that much, but you know what i mean. it's so hard NOT to use alot of paint!

here's a pic of my outing on sat...i'm kneeling on the left. sorry for looking so dirty.

i spent a few hours cleaning and oiling up my marker...also took forever taking apart my dye mask and cleaning everything out...now i'm ready for next time!
