I don't see where a semi only rule is that Biased against Mechs unless their definition of "Semi" is debounce 1 (Many players think that just b/c they pull once and shoot once that their lower debounce is not adding shots, whenever they walk the trigger though it simpily does). Most players are walking their trigger around 13bps in true semi, maybe they peak 15-17bps but, most one average are just shoot around 13, something that my RT mag can do without bouncing.

That being said most players fiddle with their trigger sensitivity, debounce, or even put the marker in a soft ramping mode outright and think that there is nothing wrong with this. This is why I advocate mechanical only markers as even pnuemags despite having just as light of a trigger pull as an electro cannot change firing modes. The Ill fated .68 Super did show us that ultra light trigger pulls are most certainly possible on a mechanical marker, but not necessarily profitable.

Personally, I also favor a cap of 13bps on all electros, as was attempted long ago, but honestly it seems more practical to switch to mechs.
