A properly timed 'cocker will not chop as long as the shooting rate is matched to the feed rate. If the bolt is coming forwards as a ball is only half into the breech, all the timing in the world isn't going to stop that ball being chopped. The faster you shoot the more chance you've got of this happening. If gravity and a revvy will feed at approx, 13bps and you can get the trigger faster than that, chopping seems to be almost inevitable.

This can happen even with a Halo, I was walking the trigger on my eBlade and the shot pattern "burped" as it held back the bolt. If the eye wasn't active that would have been a nice mess in the breech, the hopper, everywhere!

You might think it's belt and braces but it works for me!

maybe its just the evo x but with the system running at such low pressure i have never had it chop a ball.

the eye can only help matters though i was just stating that it was not a necesity for the electronic grip frames to function well.

Nope, tis $99 US (about £60). If I bought an e-blade, does the price on the website include fitting of the grip/eye? or is that included :D

(Just trying to find out for future reference) ;)

The Race ACE is a better system tho - the reflective eyes can have trouble with certain colours/types of paint.

The fitting of the eblade/eye is included in the price, i think.

I think they have had little trouble with different coloued paint.

It's all in as far as I know. That was the price I was quoted for fitting the eBlade to my old cocker including the eye.

Oh and I was using orange/dark purple paint at the weekend with no problems at all. With the eye sensitivity at 50% and no adjustments it shot steady fast streams all day. I had one 'burp' when it stopped me chopping and one little incident when my Halo refused to feed paint into the breech and that was it, (Halo's fault not the eBlade I hasten to add). Even the game timer on the grip was sweet to use and it saves le constantly losing those JT GOT's

Sweet as a nut, go on Flash, change your grip frame you know you want to ;) :D

Flash-Bugout,
Whilst I do agree that SOME reflective eyes have problems with certain colours of paint, we have yet to come across a paint that cannot be detected by the eBlade's breech sensor.

If anyone suspects that a particular brand might give the eBlade problems then please let me know and we'll give it a try.

Cheers.

To Cube:

Trust me, in fact a lot of customers in fact don't want to have their lovely cocker bodies pierced in order to have an eye installed anyway...

True, cockers properly set according to the hopper they use won't break/pinch paint assuming they are running low pressure. Having an eye installed can just diminish the risk in case of shooting while tilting the gun in weird positions.... Well, do you really lean your hopper horizontally when shooting on a sup air field?

Shaun, our team cpt, and Paul, our current Lasoya, do not have ACE installed on their cockers (Freeflow, Evo X). That don't seem to disturb them... !!!

Let's concentrate on the game instead!!!

Yeah! I miss you all! I can't wait for Portugal.........too darn far!
