      I run about 900-1000 PSI's and I can sweetspot the trigger to basically give me a 8 round burst. It doesnt damage the internals at all.

        you can put 1100 psi into the valve without damageing it..
        tho it becomes a rather shady version of legal..

            Haha . . . yea you do. Its probably just me but I really like my groove trigger and I think thats what give me a little bit higher ROF. I'm only running an 850 output pressure from my 68/3000 Crossfire tank so I dunno . . . what's so bad about your ROF?

              At first I didn't notice any difference either. As you get used to the trigger, however, you can really rip on it. It actually is starting to piss me off because I play hopperball most of the time and I shoot through it way too fast without even realizing that I am doing it.

                well you see, it's a science really. it's all a matter of presicely pulling and releasing the trigger at just the right pressures. you see, the whole trick is, to not pull, but squeeze the trigger, then when it fires, release some of the pressure, but not all due to the reactive trigger.

                actually i'm just messin around, i don't know, it just takes a little getting used to the feel of the reactive trigger, you just have to relearn it, then you will be able to acheive higher ROF's w/ the same input presure

                        talk to some AGD techs or tunaman and try to pick up some of the agd custom-milled on/off pins, i have my custom .736 and .745, and the .745 gives me a nice snappy trigger thats pretty easy to sweetspot when you need to int he heat of battle

                        i used the stock .750 pin for the first 2 weeks of play, and once you learn the trigger again, you can achieve around 12bps, and my shorter .745 pin is getting up around 16 now... oh yeah, when i stick my .736 pin in, it can go into full runaway whenever i pull the trigger... at freakin 22bps... the chrono counted the bps and i decided it was time for a longer pin cause my field doesnt alow f/a runaway


                        retro also gives you a bit shorter pull... just get used to it before you go bust $14 on each on/off pin, and don't bother with the emag or RTP pin... emag makes it go f/a all the time, and RTP is too much like a classic valve to me
