Drawback to having the RTP (X)...

[punkncat]

We have a mech only tourney coming up and my RTP has been "banned". He will allow no RT's in the tourney.
I tried to explain that this wasn't the same as the old RT's or a tippy RT , but he couldn't be convinced. Mine is the new X valve RTP. If it just didn't have the RT pro over the X I could play with it , even though its the same valve.

doh!

thats too bad man. someoone needs to talk some sense into that field owner. now that i think about it why is it called an rt pro?

not that it matters, but isnt there a weight difference between rtp valves and xvalves?

[Adrenaline_Junkie]

We should get this thread rollin than you can show him that there isnt anything illegal about RT valves on mags.

There is a weight diff between the old dtyle rtp and the new xvalve, one is aluminum the other is steal. The newer rtp vavles are xvalves though.

[punkncat]

The newer rtp vavles are xvalves though.

Exactly what mine is.

[Adrenaline_Junkie]

Yeah, your valve is totally legal as long as it doesnt rapid fire.

[Chronobreak]

somone go tell the owner its 2004 not 1996 anymore

[sabrefanpc]

so they are x valves but say rtp on them?

[SpecialBlend2786]

so they are x valves but say rtp on them?

yeah, basically it says rtp on it, but there is an X in the backround

[punkncat]

Yup , xactly.....

[danoxide]

gas up your marker and show him that there is no bounce in it...just keep trying...




goodluck



EDIT: or sand it off



ohh yea i need this on the bottom of every post

[slade]

its aluminum, sand it off and re-ano it!!

seriously, just gas it up and show him that it has no bounce (as long as it doesnt have bounce...)

[WenULiVeUdiE]

Show him there is no bounce. That's what he's worried about. Once he knows there isnt any, you should be able to play.

Or just cover it with tape.

[Bad_Dog]

yup the valves with just the X on them are no different from the one such as yours.

suprised that a field owner wouldn't understand something like this, if anything... hopefully he'll learn something from it.

[Lohman446]

Does anyone else find this amusing..

AGD complains often about bounce and illegal setups in tournament markers

The X-valve, if not set up just right, can be bouncy as any microswitch.

When I look at my Shocker and my X-valved mechanical mag... well I can think of more ways to "push" the rules with the mag than the shocker.

[Xyxyll]

AGD made the retrovalve somewhere along the lines of 10 years ago. There weren't many bounce boards out back then.
