Choosing the right
paintgun isn't easy. It's more than a matter of finding the
"best" paintgun,
but rather finding the paintgun that is best for you.
Compatibility
families listed for paintguns do not assure parts compatibility
between paintguns,
though many parts will often be interchangeable. If you can
not find a FAQ
or repair guide for a specific model of paintgun, check the model listed
in the compatibility family, as a large amount of the information will
be applicable due to similarity of design.

RT
The first paintgun with
a Reactive Trigger, the Automag RT uses an AIR valve which recharges much
faster than the original AIR valve, and responds with double the trigger
pull weight when the RT fires, enabling the user to pull the trigger faster.
The RT valve, grip rail, and grip frame are not cross-compatible with other
Automag models. The Automag RT has been replaced by the RT Pro.
RT valving technology is available as an upgrade for other Automag models
in the form of the Retro Valve kit.
