what is it ive heard about it, seen people changing thier dwell on their markers, but what does it really do!?!

Dwell is how long the bolt stays open in milli secs
so having a dwell at 3 means the bolt stays open to let air in for 3 milli secs.

correct me if i am wrong.
the higher your dwell count, the more gentle your marker will be on paint.
the downside is, your rate of fire can suffer depending on how high you set your dwell and the more air you will use.
it basically determines how long your bolt stays in the forward position allowing air to flow.

Dwell is the length of time the solenoid is powered for.
A dwell of 3ms does not mean the bolt will be forward for 3ms, or that the valve will be open for 3ms. There are many other factors involved, such as the response time of the pneumatics of the gun.
A longer dwell does not mean the gun will be softer on paint, its not that simple.
Too low of a dwell value can mean that you require more pressure to acheive the same velocity.
Too much dwell can cause your gun to be loud and inefficient.
In any given setup there is an optimum dwell time that gives you the best efficiency and concistency.
