I Was Reading Posts Today And Came Across This

AGD Qoute: Team AO,

In an effort to greatly reduce ball breakage we have developed a prototype long stroke bolt and valve. The bolt seals further into the barrel before shooting the ball and takes longer to reset against the bumper. So the benefit is lower blowback. The other effect the long stroke has is to reduce the firing rate to a maximum of 11 shots per second. This is a big benefit because you can not out shoot the hopper by short stroking. We have come to understand that all ball chops are caused by short stroking or ball bobble. Because the RT valve system can cycle SO fast the ball can't get into the barrel so it chops. Ball bobble causes the ball to hang up in the feed tube and same problem at lower firing rates./

Tom, does this have to do with level 10? When getting this mod will my gun cycle slower? sorry if this question has already been awnsered i couldn't find anything.

no, i believe it was one of the earlier lvl 10 prototypes, but it got scrapped.

No, that idea is in the dust bin.
