Dwell is a setting that has to take into consideration the time to pull in the solenoid plus the time for the bolt to completely cycle from start to fully reset. A short dwell may still fire the gun, but you risk releasing the sear too soon causing the bolt to rub on it as it resets. This can cause wear and may sometimes result in bolt stick in some cases. Testing has revealed that you should have at least 15ms of dwell for most setups. You can sometimes get away with less, but you should have some safety margin built in for those unexpected slow bolt response times due to dirt or gummed up mechanism. 20ms gives you that guarantee that your gun will fire under all normal conditions without any issues and give you that margin of safety built in.

This also happens when you set the ROF too high and try to out shoot what the solenoid can do.

Yeah, but ROF affects the bolt open time (bolt in the reset state) more than the solenoid-bolt interaction. The shorter bolt open time then directly affects the ability to recharge and you have all sorts of issues with ball mashing due to half charged shots.Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.Comment
