Tippmann M98 RT + Halo B = 18 bps fun...

[Jack & Coke]

This thing is a lot of fun!

I emptied my halo b shooting multiple bursts and full-auto (1/2 hopper) using the RT sweet spot (controlled pulls, not "run-away" like toothpick/sear mods)... wohooo.. NO CHOPS!

7-10 shot/half-second bursts while snap shooting vs. kiddies with $1500 Angels is just mean...

Not bad for a $200 marker.

My M98C RT...

FYI:

...and BTW, for those who were interested regarding my Crossfire Tank.

The gage on my ASA read 700 output (strange?) and when fired in full-auto, flickered (is that a word?) between 700 and 600 psi rapidly (bur), but had NO DROP OFF.

What is the world coming to?

No, not bad at all. Can you post a soundclip?

If that's on the ASA and not the tank it sounds reasonable, as the pressure in the line will drop briefly before the tank can recharge it... does it not do this normally?

[Jack & Coke]

Sure!

Here's a nice 3-4 second clip.

how do you find the sweetspot on a m98? BTW, my friend has one but he's never founnd the sweetspot, and doesn't try because its a blender withour a halo.

There is an adjustment knob on the rightside of the gun. It controls the amount of air used to power the trigger return piston.

All you do is open it up a little (counter-clockwise) and it let's more air in. This increases to resetting force of the piston.

If the trigger pull is 5 lb. and the return force is 5 lbs., there not really a sweet spot. However, if you turn the screw out, the return force will be greater and you will easily hit the "sweet-spot"

...and doesn't try because its a blender without a halo...

That's why the halo is so great!

i played with a dude with an rt trigger on a model 98c and he was ripping like crazy on that thing!!

[Ov3rmind]

LOL, I also remember playing against an RT Tippy. Wasn't expecting much (didn't know it had the RT upgrade), then he sprayed with that thing like no ones business. I must say, that is impressive for the gun's price range.

[Chupe]

wow!

thats the nicest tippmann. thats for that sound clip that was nice.

... kinda loud.

but hey.. for a Tippman.... very nice..

Today, I actually had to turn down the reactiveness of my Tippy RT because a few guys with Angels and Cockers where complaining to the refs that I was out-shooting them and that my "full-auto" (8-10 shot snap shooting bursts) was an unfair advantage...

After getting shot later in a different game, I stood on the sidelines and watched as the same Angel and Cocker guys lit up a bunch of kids with spyders and tippy rentals with easily +10 to 12 bps... I didn't hear them compaining to the refs then....

After playing the morning session with my Tippy RT (I even slapped on my Flatline for extra fun! Wohoo! curve balls are fun!), I switched back to my GZ for the afternoon. I must say, my GZ + Halo was running very very very sweet!

With my GZ, I had better consistancy, ball location, and strings.

However, with my Tippy RT, I had more fun scaring the bejezus out of 5 guys trying to sneak up the tape in Urban Chaos... I snapped out to the side, RT blazing (sweet spotting full-auto action) and hit all of them with a nice 5-7 second non-stop stream of paint. Kinda like watering the lawn. Man, balls where scattering all over the place (I broke a ball just prior so my barrel was coated in paint - yes even with the Halo B, my Tippy RT chopped 3 times all day).

I was cracking up as they scurried around like mice ducking for cover. It must have been the noise that scared them - my gun is LOUD! RAT TAT TAT TAT TAT... Muhahaha!

After the game, a few of them where tripping out at the firing range as I showed them what a cheap rental grade gun can do. None of them had ever fired a Tippy RT. Now they have.

One guy even thought I was nutz. He asked me why I put a $150 hopper on a rental gun.

Common case of "daddy buying his son a $1200 gun"

Thank GOD for LEVEL 10!
