Hey all!
Okay, E-Grips for the Cocker.
First, in reply to the original question:
There are 6 grips for the Cockers.
Sandridge, Racegun, Proteam, PGI Firestorm, Centerflag Uprising, and now the E-Blade.
All bolt on except for the Sandridge, that requires a bit at the shop. And the Centerflag needs to be sent in to time. I don't know much about the Proteam.
There is alot of different things about all of them, and I could write about 3 pages describing each.
Abit about the speed of the guns-
As long as the Electronics doesn't hold back the gun, the mechanics are the only thing defining the speed of the gun.
Centerflag and PGI affect the timing a bit differently that the Racegun, E-blade, and Sandy. They are potentally faster because of design. It isn't the grip. The grip just releases the potential. So, if a Sandy can shoot 18bps, so can the Race and the Eclipse.
Here are the factors.
Ram- this is the Heart of the gun. A good ram is the real deciding factor for speed. Normally a ram takes 35 ms to open, making you ROF about 10 bps or so. A good ram will allow you to run 26ms, and a great ram will open your gun in the teens.
Feed- Load time! A HALO or Warp feed gun only takes 8-10 ms to load, while a Vl takes 25-35.
Keep the mass low for the cocking parts, keep the bolt moving slick and the hammer spring medium to light, that is what makes high ROF, no matter which E-grip you run.
Here is the timing sheet for the Racegun, should be just the same for a E-blade:
