Don't get the fire storm crank!!!. This kid has it at my field and they always call him the fisher. It really looks like your reeling in a fish or something. Its horribly un accurate and a waste of money. But with that thing you can lay down buckets of paint , but barely hit anything!. What gun are you getting it on the A-5 or 98? If you are going to get one for the A-5 don't. Get an E-grip and the blade trigger . You will be much happier and constant with shot after shot. I think you shouldn't get it wait for my replys on this debate.

Search "Firestorm" in this forum. You'll get all the info you need.

As far as the crank being "inaccurate" how could that be? The marker being used would have to be inaccurate, all that the crank does is "pull" the trigger faster. Inaccuracy is more than likely caused by inconsistancy. Which, in turn, would be caused by a slow recharge rate of the air system being used.

The firestrom crank is good, yes i said good but not for on the playing field. If you're mounting an A-5 on a tank or a set postion with a tripod then sure. On the field you won't be able to tuck that well and it will be awkward balance wise.

As for the E-grip and Blade trigger, that's $150+ vs the $45 on the Firestorm, not really an easy "solution". Futhermore even if you have an E-grip and Blade Trigger (from www.bp-usa.com by the way) and get it up to the same speeds as the firestorm you're going to run into the same inconsistancy problems.

C'mon Snap Shoot you know this.

My solution: Response Trigger

I would just get a double trigger.

Yea yea I know I know am tired gimmie a break. As for the fire storm crank goes I wouldn't get it and get the Response Trigger instead , if that doesn't float your boat get a double trigger and the Fire storm crank, or just get the double trigger. Don't plan on going to any tourney's with the Response Trigger because it is illegal at most tourney's , as I sure you already know. It's mostly personal preference because everyone can say the dislike something , but if you like it you are more then willing to get it , you are going to get it no matter what we say . I think you should try it out and let us know what you think of it . As for me with the money I would get the Response Trigger and a double trigger and have fun. But it's all up to you . Like I said , try to try it out at your local pro shop if they have it , and tell us what you think of it.

yes snap shoot is correct, it is very inaccurate.

since one hand is "cranking" you only get the other hand to support and stabilize for your gun... one hand = reduced accuracy imo, thats why it is inaccurate.

i watched the video the company released ... just a cheap way of fire, might as well do what greedy said and get a response.

Greedy say's am wrong and E r y k says am right :confused: . The bottom line is dont get it , and go with the response trigger.

[E r y k]

well i was basing my post off the video the company made...

maybe none of them could hold a marker correctly...

I was reffereing to the high ROF the crank can acheive, not the operators ability to hold and crank at the same time. Of which seems kinda stupid considering you have to literly stand in the open to get it firing quickly. Seems to be hard doing that while laying down.

ok guys, ill admit this, as far as accuracy goes, the RT is going to give you the best (not that its going to be good) because you have both hands firmly on the gun. With the FS crank you cranking the crank, so the trigger grip isnt in your hands, this leads to a loss of stability. With an E-grip if you want high ROF then your gonna be walking it, once again the trigger grip isnt being held.

Accuracy is a misdomener (spelled so wrong). For example lets take the Autococker, a gun pretty much everbody will tell you is accurate as hell. But the autocockers accuracy lies in two things, 1. its practically kickless and 2. the valves have a good recharge rate and aww screw it im in the pbr chat right now so im never gonna get this done

just to let everyone know my gun setup:

Tippmann 98c
14" J & J barrel
Expansion Chamber

yeah i dont have much on it but o well. also if someone could give me some advice on a Rocket Cock and if i should get I or II. my friend says that I is better because it seals better than II. So I'd appreciate someadvice on that, thx. o by the way i was thinking about gettin a response trigger its just the money thats holdin me back

ITs probably even harder to shoot then when fanning the trigger.
