Looking to replace my aging F1 Illustrator with something new.
The Mags look most interesing, and thanks to the tech info here, I finally understand how the things work. It's still not the mythical searless pure pneumatic marker, but it's close. The RT-ULE Custom looks interesting as a starting point, and the strong points seem to be minimal reciprocating mass (recoil), no batteries, and few large O-rings sliding around in tubes. I imagine that it's more gas efficient than most others.
A few questions please.. The "Chuff" problem? My best guess about this is that it comes from insufficient recharge, caused by incomplete release of the trigger.
If so, has anyone attempted to design a sear assembly that disconnects from the trigger and locks in the fire/off position until the bolt returns?
When the trigger is pulled to the release point, the sear latches up and the trigger disconnects from the sear. When the bolt returns, the sear is released the on-off opens. When the trigger is released, it reconnects to the sear, ready for the next shot.
The Warp.. Batteries in it, and in required power feed hopper. Is anyone else wishing for a warp with integral hopper / agitator? One motor, board and battery stirs AND feeds the balls. I see the top edges of the sheel extending into the hopper, with paddle fingers sticking up further. A molded-in feed tube carries the balls up through the hopper. This may even be doable as a mod.. Has it been tried yet?

) but something like it may, possibly, just a chance, be put into AGD next prototype...but don't hold your breath. Again, don't quote me on this, I am probably wrong.
