eBlade/Race cockers - Classic or semi mode?

[rayko]

I was just wondering which firing mode all you eblade and Race cocker owners run your markers?

I was playing with my Race'd Evo in semi mode, and today actually got around to optimising the timing on it, no chops (15.1 bps... need to play about more with dwell and close times), but found that the last few balls in my Halo dont load due to the load time being too short and no pressure coming from the hopper... so ended up manually pulling the cocking block back to load a round.

I then tried it the grip in classic mode to eliminate this, and it seems to me like it I was hitting the max timing easier...

Any views?

Cheers

Semi for me, with classic you can interfere the load times, which I think is megasucky.

semi should cycle faster as the return time of the block is controlled rather than being down to the strength of the magnet in the trigger

Classic on my race - I found that in semi, the rhythm of the cocker cycling is faster than the rhythm of my fingers, and puts my off my shooting.

In classic however, it's just right, and I managed to hit the limit of my setup at 16.

My theory is that mechanical cocker shooters who upgrade to electro frames will prefer classic mode, and shooters of other electro markers who move over to electro cockers will prefer semi mode, as it's what they're used to.

Classic mode:
I would of thought that the close time would still be in place; and therefore the min. close time should equal to the what the grip is set to for rather than what your finger is up to.. or have I got that wrong?

The only thing that is affected in classic mode (race gun certainly - I can only hypothesise about the e-blade, as I don't have one) is the load time - as long as the trigger is held in, the back block stays back. Once you release the trigger, the back block and bolt close - and the grip waits the specified close time before allowing another shot to take place.

Oops, I meant load time, not close time on my last post. I suppose the easiest way to test this is to set the load time to something really stupidly slow and see how it cycles.

doesnt the eye on an eblade stop this??

 

[rayko]

the question is about firing mode here, rather than anti-chop eyes

Semi auto mode with the trigger filter on.
