I am going to hop up on my soapbox here for a moment and discuss something that I find somewhat "funny" ? troublesome to me? I am not sure how to express it, but allow me to explain.

I keep seeing all these posts where people talk about how they would own electro marker (insert type) but they would sling too much paint. That is why I still use my (insert mech marker).

Now the last time I checked, every electronic marker on the market today has, in addition to a ramping or "turbo" mode if you will, semi built in as part of the programming. Now on many we will also find burst mode, and breakout and all this jazzy bells and whistle kind of thing, but my focus is on the fact that they do, indeed come with semi.

Now when in true semi mode, unless you alter programming to set debounce in a way it is not intended (theoretically) to be set, and also have the trigger set in such a way as not to induce bounce, these electronic markers will indeed fire one ball for every pull of the trigger.

So, if the marker is set up this way and we can pull one ball per trigger pull, just like we can on any mech marker out there, with the added bonus of lighter trigger pull, and in most cases anti chop eyes.....I dunno. I just can't understand the argument anymore.

I used to feel that way too. If I had an electro, I HAD to walk the trigger, I HAD to use a ramping mode and blast as much paint as possible. Now I have learned to just pull it one at a time, to use the technology to my advantage. I can still use a revi. I haven't looked at my squeegie in months of play.....and ya know what? I can still walk on the field with 500-1000 balls, using my G7 and play all day.
