didn't you guys spend bloody ages photographing my new toy?

sat twiddling my bloody thumbs for ages as Okey and Ledz taunted me about having to wait even longer for it.

I'm now off to lovingly clean and polish my new eBlade boefore tucking it up in it's bag for the night ;) :D

Can we use it, or not?

OK I had a word or two with Flash at the diablo cup and i have told him the problem I am worried about.

Now without going into too much detail it is not only the new E-blade that is causeing me this problem it is in fact most electric marker's and also some non-electric ones as well.

But the e-blade fire's much quicker than it would if you tried to bounce the trigger, So I do not think anyone would even try to bounce it.

So Gary and all the rest of you who need to now the e-blade will be useable at all series 2003 events.


FOOTNOTE.

However the person who gave Ledz my mobile number so he could call me up and treaten to eat my kids with extra hot and spicey sauce and fart in my bedroom unless I wrote the above reply will never be allowed to play any event I have any control over.

:) :)

re: trigger bouncing

i understood that the e-blade uses a magnet to return the trigger.....if thats right then it would be physically impossible to bounce it.....springs bounce magnets just well......dont;)

Jahlad, why wouldn't a magnet bounce, where a spring would? (I'm talking in trigger terms here)

Both supply a return force to the trigger (and sometimes a "balance" or "pull-assisting*" force too *wrong terminology I'm sure, but you get what I mean?)

With Electro's, the general meaning for trigger bounce isn't that the trigger just bounces back and forth (although I've seen some that do). It's down to the kick of the marker firing, and the length of the trigger.

With an ultra-short trigger, the kick of the marker moves the marker back, unswitching the trigger, then gravity drops the marker back into your hands, and as your finger hasn't moved from the "just pulled trigger" position, it pulls the trigger again.

And anyways, magnets just feel funny ;)
