There are so many people looking to get an SRT I cant reply to all the threads anymore, please do not get it,if youre looking for a fishy get the GTI instead, its the SRT without flush cocking, the flush cocking is nothing but a gimmick that not only costs more but is a pain in the ass, if a ball gets pinched which it probably will instead of a chop because the SRT runs at a lower pressure than most blowbacks, you have to degass, uncock, regass, recock. This will end with you getting bunkered in a game because the SRT will let out a loud hiss when you degass and will draw every player on the field toward you when they hear that tell-tale sound. The flush cocking piece is also flimsy, and will break just by the action of the gun firing. Most people who have tried it do not like the SRT, I myself have exchanged it for an Imagine, better trigger, better looks, cheaper, more durable. The trigger on the SRT is impossible to go over the 8-9 bps mark because of its odd shape, and replacement triggers are almost non-existant. I have heard nothing but distaste for the SRT, mine has been out of action more than it has been working waiting for the damn flush cocking rod replaccements, and repairs because of another problem I had with my SRT, where it just wouldnt shoot and my proshop couldnt fix it so they sent it away. The trigger alone is enough of a turnoff to stay away from E-Force, but if you must, go GTI instead. Mine came with a broken O-ring out of the box and a velocity which couldnt go over 200 fps without a spring kit.


SRT Cons
-flush cocking; pinch a ball youve got to degass, uncock, regass, cock
(pinching usually happens instead of chopping with the SRT, so be prepared to do this about once a game)

-flush cocking piece is flimsy, Ive gone through 2 in the 6-7 games ive used it
I should have used it more but it took a month each for the piece to come in, the ref at our field with this gun has had the same thing happen along with the chronic velocity problems.

-Low velocity out of box, spare spring is lighter

- 9'' Stock barrel is to tight for most paint, stock bore around .683 i think

-Trigger, whoever designed this should be shot, anyone who has tried my gun hates it, no replacements available

-cocking rod, slams back into your face, no beavertail

-iritating recoil, at first when I was using my bros TL-X 'cause my SRT was broken I thought there was something wrong with the TL-X there was so little recoil compared the SRT

If you must get an SRT get this with it right away

-spring kit -fix those out of box velocity problems

-Evlution 2 -ensure you dont get a pinch as I sayed above you dont want 1

-Barrel -stock is 9'', too tight for most paint, self explained

-Feedneck -stock is tall, doesnt fit hoppers well so the hoper is only half
way in making it taller, the recoil which is more than my bros
TL-X will rattle your hoper off.

Flush Cocking Rod - You will most likely break one within youre first 2 months, depending on how much you play, order it ahead of time
