Is a hyperframe and a retro valve overkill??

[talls]

My friend just got a 68 mag, a hyperframe, and a retro valve for his birthday. I have a 68 mag with a retro valve, and I was just wandering if the hyperframe and retro were just a waste of money. Thanks

Well, for the money spent on the gun, valve, and frame, he coulda just got an emag! Which is simialish to a RT valve mag with Hyper. I would prefer the Emag between the two

[emaggot4life]

Not really. If you want to get the most out of the RT's ability(26cps), then it would make sence to get an electronic trigger. Or get really good at not shortstrokin when firing at superhuman speed.

[emaggot4life]

I have to agree with "skipdogg" on that one.

[Cha0tic]

well, it is a good idea depending on what you are looking for out of your retro valve. if you want a reactive trigger, it won't happen with the hyperframe. if you want high ROF without shortstroking or shootdown, its a good idea.

[gmag]

Yes, it is overkill.

[SuperOrangeTicTac]

its not really overkill, if you want a mag with an hyperframe, it makes sense to get the retro valve so you have no shootdown and it will recharge in time. If you already have the retro valve and are happy with its speed like that, and dont want an hyperframe, then it wouldnt be right for you.

Why get RT valve when a stock 'mag can shoot at 16bps preatty well? Dont belive me take a look at the HALO video clips in main forum.

I'd prefer and RT+Hyper frame over an E-mag. Why? No bulky battery pack!!!!!

YES ..... I don't see paintball fields going full-auto anytime in the future

I never thought of the battery pack as being bulky, thats like saying the front pneumatics on a cocker are bulky. It's not much larger than a foregrip or expansion chamber. I'd much rather have something manufactured by AGD specifically for a certain gun rather than buy an aftermarket bolt on electronic frame, I think those cheapen the gun. I'm not a big fan of turning a once non-electro gun into an electro through an upgrade, it's either an electro to begin with or it isn't. I would be willing to bet that a stock emag could outperform that setup anyway.

I would rather have an E-Mag...but its his money...

[Zumina]

Sounds like we need a shoot out between the two to determine a winner....

[MinimagRockin']

That would be sweet, $20 bucks on the emag!

I got money on the emag too.
