By shooting a matirx I believe just the opposite. The matrix didn't seem right. I don't know what. It did have to do with opperation. I really like the shocker though. It feels quieter and faster in my hands. Maybe because it runs at only one pressure.

Something else to consider: The gas you shoot.
Personally I feel safer using a poppet valved marker w/CO2 because I can sweetspot the reg so if I get any liquid past the reg & the pressure rises I lose velocity instead of shooting hot. If you get liquid CO2 into the dump chamber on a spool valved marker your velocity will skyrocket.
Less of an issue w/electros because the liquid will probably kill your solenoid but on something like a mag...
I think the balanced poppets if they catch on will have an effect on the feel of poppet valved markers.
Less force required from the hammer means lighter springs, less kick & less force needed to cock the marker so less chance of choping a ball as the forces closing the bolt will be less.
