LP Point dumb questions

I tried to do a search, but I didn't see any clear thread / post on these simple (but I'd like to make sure) questions.

I'm taking the Pepsi challenge and going to try these Leon Paul GT points (from my German points).

1) Are GT points are better than regular LP points?

2) Wires, screws & springs are interchangable from GT to regular LP points?

3) Are GT tips and barrells NOT interchangable from regular LP points?

4) Will Craig come to my house and fix my weapons if I'm not completely satisfied with these new GT points?

5) Do I have to start saying, "bloody hell" instead of cussing in German?

Thank you for your time.

I believe "Dash and Bother" is the contractual requirement.


*wonders how he scored*

Keith, got most of the answers right. On 3 springs are interchangable. See http://www.leonpaul.com/acatalog/Sho...Points_21.html and click on 'More Information'.

On 4, of course Craig will do that, just like Santa Claus is retiring to Bermuda and the Easter Bunny will be doing double duty, until they find a replacement. If this is like corporate america, that will be never, since the Easter Bunny will be able to do the job working 80 hours a week and salaried, so why should they hire anyone else.

Yes. The GT points are a bit more durable, in my experience, and have a slightly better travel.

Yes - they all use the same. (AND you can use the screws on epees too.)

GT and standard are interchangable

LOL....you're funny

You can say "bloody hell" or just "bollocks!" if you wish.

Has there been any change in design since the first release of the GT tip?

Only ask because when I first got the GT tips I used some old LP pressure springs and all of them failed weight.
