i prefer my ricochet over revvys . . . i feel it feeds more reliably since it doesnt wait for a gap in the feed tube before it spins. i also think the ric presents a smaller target than revvies and i like the extra features like the timer and ball counter . . . ric for me ;)

It totally depends on your style of play.

If you speedball, ricochet definetly. If you are gonna be a woods player, the ricochet is just too loud and you should go for the revvy. About the target size, it really doesnt have a big difference. And about the xtra features (ball counter) the ricochet is what you want for those. Its really up to you. The reviews on both items i found were very helpful.

But since your getting a emag and your gonna be spraying, odds are your gonna want the ricochet. Hard to hide while your spraying paint :)

i think i am definitely getting a richochet, because with the mag, you got a lot of blow back, and the richochet has a little flap that does not allow them to go back into the hopper at all. a p/f mag plus a richochet = no blowback problem

hey russia, don't i know you?

Actually, with that flap, you 'can' push balls up it. However, indeed blowback gas shouldn't have that much force.
Which in turn "can" be a problem. Ever have a time where you wanted to turn your gun upside down and dry fire? Well, can't do it with the Ricochet. You'll have to turn it upside down, fire a shot, and then be able to dry fire.

Now feeding, it is just barely slightly better than a Revvy. However, you can get a TurboRev board, you'll be set. And I also think WAS is working on a board for the AK. Which I think you should get instead, is the AK

The RAK (not R2K) doesn't have an LCD screen, LED light, same body design, quieter motor, and better battery life! Plus it's cheaper. But if you want the ball counter and time clock, then the R2K is more for you.

Either Rev or R-2K/AK you'll be happy. As long as all you want/need is about 10bps.

actually i just had to turn my marker upside down the other day to dry fire some paint out of the barrel, it worked but it wacked out the ball counter . . . but it can still be done.
