In order to answer this question I have a question of my own...

Does rain or water have the ability to damage or short out an E-Trigger? I mean a little drizzle I don't think would be a problem, but if you say, drop it in a pond or it's pouring buckets, would that mess the E-Trigger up?

If you play almost exclusively woodsball (glad you do, by the way!) and you happen to play or live in an area prone to lots of water, I'd recommend a response trigger. Only thing is that it's similar to a cyclone in that it uses excess air in order to operate. The plus side is that it requires no batteries, thus no electricity is required and you don't have to worry about replacing a battery/ something shorting out.

Personally I'm very paranoid by nature, and secondly, I think electronics belong in hoppers and speedball markers only. For woodsball, to me, it's gotta all be pressure driven because electronics are very delicate and prone to screwing up. And in single games that last as long as multiple games would in speedball, you can't afford for your main marker to mess up due to a board malfunction.
Just my two cents. I've played woodsball games and all my friends who have E99's and Diablo Slayers (not the best electronics to begin with, I know) are constantly walking off the field because their guns keeping 86'ing on them, and my Tippmann 98 almost never gives me any problems, except for a handful of times (about 1 shot every 2000) where the bolt doesn't reset all the way after a shot and I have to cock it back manually.
