Attractive Aspects

[jenarelJAM]

I prefer open bolt, just because you don't need to size your barrel, but it really isnt a huge consideration. It just so happens that my two markers have both been open, but If I had wanted an excal instead of a viking, the closed bolt wouldn't have made much of a difference in my feelings.

For trigger pull, I don't know. I really like the response on my emag in mech mode. I think I'd prefer a stock response over the ULT if I had just a plain rt mag. I also really like my viking's trigger, long, light, actuates right at the beginning. It's light, but really springy(I don't know why, but it is), so it's extremely easy to walk.

____________________________________________
One thing that I realized when I got my viking as well, is that I prefer a really small grip frame. I picked it up, and it just fit into my hand. I can actually walk the trigger when I have my hand around the grip. On my emag in e mode, I hold the gun with the front hand, walk with the back hand, but I don't actually hold the grip because it's too long. Not enough finger left after I've wrapped my hand around it to walk it.

Open vs Closed

I have found almost no difference in the closed and open bolt guns I have shot. Though the no barrel roll out is nice.
trigger feel
I really some triggers in some instances and others in others(if that made sense). I really like my classic mag feel. It is nice and crisp, probably my favorite single trigger I have ever shot. Then there is my friends strange pulse. It also has a very crisp pull but on a double trigger and it has a trigger guard big enough for one finger. Then it also clicked really bad. Not cool. My last is squishy triggers. Some rule some don't. My BKO was really nice feeling. It squished but maintained a very light feel and enough return to keep a sting going. Same with the nasty pulse I shot. It was very long and squishy but I could shoot it up to like 15 really easy.

Final thoughts
Cockers-If well tuned are awesome. I like the two stage pull as long as it won't shortstroke easily.
Mags-The crispness is great and the fast return.
Shocker-I really liked the stock shocker trigger(shocker sft). My favorite click trigger. With S trigger was awesome
DM5-Great room in guard but weird trigger. Not good trigger shape.
BKO-Good all around trigger. Definately the best E trigger I have ever shot(after I tuned it perfectly).
Tippmanns-I loved the pro/carbine pull and hate the other 2. The rt was to stiff.
Mech Spyders-Long but softish.
E Spyders-Newer ones are great(like the ones used in spyder mags). Old ones were too clicky.
Ion-Stock was kinda weird(unexplainable) but the CP roller was pretty kickawesome.

is speed imortant, aka rt mag's prestige of having the fastest thing on the field, or does it not matter?

RT mag is not the fastest; it is still a mech
