Automag RT

[Scotty D]

If you set up your RT so that the trigger can bounce off your finger and becomes almost full auto, is this still allowed in tourneys or is it classed as being full auto and therefore illegal?

Also does anybody know what ever happened to the TS1 select with the magaine underneath?
BYEEEEEEE

OK so that should have read magazine

It would be illegal but you would have to turn your output pressure on your tank pretty high to get it to that speed. Also finding the sweet spot is difficult, and the mag will cycle that fast you'll have paint soup coming out of your barrel.

It cycles too fast really, so its not worth it.

Well, a few of the guys on my team play with RT's. I personaly hate them, and it's like ciaran says, they chop alot of paint and mess stuff up with that mode. However, if you remove that funktion your RT will be just like a .68 mag anyway! I talked to a guy that arranges tournaments the other day, and he said RT's will be banned from tournaments with millenium regulations soon. Don't know for sure if its true though.
peace

Well the benefit of the RT valve on mags isnt just the reactive trigger, its the fact that its almost impossible to get shoot down on it. AGD apparently tested it to 26bps and recorded no shootdown, infact they recorded "shoot up" gas was going into the valve so fast it was heating up and increasing the velocity. Compared to the regular 68 valve this is a big improvement, the 68 valve gets shootdown at around 16bps.

Surely shoot up is worse than down. Means your velocity climbs in a string but when the single shots fired over chrono gives low reading.

Theres a special way of chrono'ing RT mags - summin about holding the trigger then firing a shot as quick as you can to get it accurate.

The shoot up would only be minimal, i doubt that it could be more than 3 or 4 fps.
