RT overrated?

[magzown3]

Current gun setup:
Chrome p/f left mag with intelliframe & lvl10

I have had this gun for almost 7 months now and it works great. But anyways, I have actually had people huddle around and look at my gun and ask how it shoots so fast. A few ask if it a hyperframe (no, these are not noobs asking the questions) others see me playing and will yell out stuff like "rock that emag", or "holy ****". And I always have to say no, its mechanical and they are amazed. I just dont see how can an RT improve anything. The classic valve can just shoot so damn fast. Has anybody else experienced been asked that?

My question is have you ever shot a RT/RT PRO/E-Mag. There is no drop off in velosity when you fire a fast string of paint. Find someone that has on and give it a try, you will see what I mean.

I started with a minimag and then got an RT, and other mags. I used the RT during tournies and if and when it would act up I would grab my minimag/intelliframe and rip on people. I love the RT but I know what you are saying you about a regular valve!!

It does depend on your playing style. The classic valve worked fine for me (I don't shoot strings of paint that much) but I just had to have an RT. Now that I am used to the RT trigger, however, I would not trade it for my classic valve.

If anything the RT Pro is highly underated. It is one of the nicest complete marker packages for the price out there. Highest "out of the box" ROF of any Manual marker. Now with X Valve, Level 10 and intelliframe standard.... All for a street price of about $600... You would have to pay more for any Cocker or other manual to even try and get close to this ROF. And would fail! Barrel, Foregrip, SS Line and fittings and Bottom ASA included.

Soon to be availible...aluminum bodies with Cocker thread! Can you say RTP LX ULE? YUM!!!! :)

Wut he said!

That's nice, but if somsone's fingers cant max out the classic valve but can still achive high rof, than a rt valve is pointless.

ahem....

stock 2k2 cocker, for 279, eblade fr 350=same range price of the rtpro

[a_malfunction]

he is talking about mechanical markers... and with an RT will definitely hang with an eblade cocker. I take that back, Im not sure if the cocker could hang with the RT... :)

[TheJester]

it's all about trigger feel, rt=shorter/light trigger pull...at least that's what it seems, granted i did 2 things at once, i got an intelliframe and an x-valve at the same time...it drasticly reduced the pull and hardness of the pull, oh and you get the reactiveness which is always good

I couldn't agree more. Out of all the innovative and seriously impressive pieces of design in the paintball industry, I have to say that the RT valve is the one that impresses me the most.

It's not yet been equalled, let alone surpassed, and few people appreciate it for what it is, or what it gives them.

It's a brilliant piece of functional design. I love it!

You know, I honestly believe, if the original RT had come out with what we now call level 10... then the marker market would be very different...

The RT valve will make you shoot faster

[big E kingpin]

i have both a classic and an emag/rt. i picked up my zgrip micro with a classic, and was shocked that i could rip the way i could (it had been a while). but i noticed about 6 shots into the string i was getting noticable drop off. if you told me i was hiting 10 even 12 bps i wouldnt be surprised. but i went and got me emagnum and set it on full auto 20 bps, and hit the same target everytime untill my halo was empty. so yes the rt valve is deffinetly worth it.

Re:

Before buying one you might want to check with the tourny events around your area - that is if you play tournaments - because a lot of them don't allow the RT... at least they don't in colorado.

Question for those with an RT. I teamate of mine a few years back bought one less than a year after they came out and his was ALWAYS breaking tons of balls and going down. Have they fixed that, or are they still prone to ball breaking and acting up at the wrong times? It appears by old man mags comments about "if/when it acts up..." that they still have that problem.
