    But most local tourney guys/field owners, don't know that.

      If the guy is reasonable I'm sure you could get that ironed out efore the tourny. Just get there early and have a chat with the head ref. Show him the gun and gas it up and fire it over the chrony with him. Let him fire the gun as well. As long as the guy is reasonable and willing to listen, and you are respectable and civil with him, there shouldn't be a problem.

            I do find the cocker trigger to be a lot shorter and they are much more efficient on air. Its just that it has too many parts that are waiting to fail. (Happened once or twice) but after I got the mag, It was so simple to operate and the entire mechanism just comes out for easy cleaning and meitanance.

            I dont know... both have their pro's and cons, and I love both of them but not enough room for 2 markers currently.

            Thanks for the vote. It will help me make a decision..
            No I think all reactive triggers are illegal due to reactive triggers havins bounce. In tourny play if you use an Xmag you can only use this is electric mode even if battery dies due to no bounce.

              As long as noone there can get more than one shot per pull (assuming they are enforcing that rule as some locals are getting away from doing) than the RT should be legal. That being said to get my classic RT legal I have to put input down to about 600lbs of pressure.... the old steel RT valves seem to have more reactivity than the recent steel ones, or the X-valves.

                I used an RT-Pro in many, many tournament games and there was never ANY sort of trouble with "bounce." As long as you've got the input low enough that the trigger doesn't run away then you're fine.

                  I'd take the RT unless you want to run snake.

                    wait so mags have bounce? i didnt think it was possible for a mech gun to bounce especially when it has as little kick as a mag

                      It's a totaly different sort of "bounce" than the bounce that you see in electros and as I said above, it in no way has to be a problem.

                        With just those two choices, I voted Cocker. I have played with an original RT (loooved it), love the LX, but hate the Warp.

                          I voted for the cocker.. Only on the basis that I don't like Warp feeds.

                          My first choice isnt on the list.. Palmer Blazer. Take that over either one of the choices.
