I had one for a while, but i think theyre a little over rated. its really hard to sweet sopt it. Or at least for me it was. I dont think that increased my spead a whole lot eather. So, if u have $80-$110 to waist like i did then buy it. But first go with N2 and a good reg

if you are planning.. plan on spending 110-170 dollars because you will have to buy a revvy too and if you dont have a motor hopper you will turn your gun into a blender

...its really hard to sweet sopt it....I dont think that increased my spead a whole lot eather. So, if u have $80-$110 to waist like i did then buy it. Well, some do have a hard time finding the sweet spot. IME, it was not hard at all. I had it shooting like I wanted it to in five minutes. Everyone has a different level of difficulty finding it.

If you get it to work right, then you will notice a massive increase in speed.

plan on spending 110-170 dollars because you will have to buy a revvy too and if you dont have a motor hopper you will turn your gun into a blender While there is some truth to that, if you take it easy, then you will not chop. I do not use a motorized hopper anymore, and I rarely chop a ball. The only time I do chop is when I try shoot "automatic"(I say "automatic" because, it's not really auto.) for more than a second. So, I just shoot bursts and single rounds now, with only minimal "automatic" paint spraying.

M98King, if you're serious about buying one, see if you can't find a place to test one out. Maybe your local shop has one they will let you test, or while at a field, look for someone with one. Also, check ebay for your rt. I picked up mine for 65$ (us.).

You don't need a motorized hopper. if you are spraying paint then you are goign to be spending more money for paint than anything. I do somethign similar to Mimos: I fire in short quick bursts to put somebody behind cover. That is all a high ROF is really good for because accuracy will decrease after each shot because the gas has not compeltely been expelled from the barrel. I have seen HPA and CO2 with all different barrels have accuracy problems when the gun goes "full-auto" (it is still semi-auto, it resets the sear internally against your finger). If you are a guy who likes one shot then it is good because it only fires as long as you hold the trigger in and enough gas feeds through. if you aren't familiar with an "automatic-like" marker, you are going to probably chop like a blender at first but as you practice you begin to see what your marker can handle. That's my view, I love my RT, have had it a year and I still use it periodically when somebody is moving up. I also use it when running because I can put a lot of fire on a position with one hand and not worry about havingt o make the concious thought of making the trigger go, it does it on its own.
