AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
I admittedly know nothing about the shoeboxes but there has to be a way to overcome that. New noids? I dunno?
I doubt the 'noids would help anything (though you never know). I think their biggest factor with speed is simply the size of their parts and dwell control. They could've been made to be VERY fast and VERY efficient as well as relatively compact, they just never were. Why? I dunno. SP has some kind of stigma against innovation.

Tinkering doesn't need a point, that's why it's tinkering. As for why bother, the typical answer is because you can.

The 2001-2002 brick Shockers are generally capped around 13-bps. (the speed varies between 10-13 depending on how fast the hopper feeds).
The limiting factor for the speed comes from (1) the horribly inefficient valve, and (2) the time it takes for the bolt to move. The solenoids and electronics can handle it just fine, but the parts take a buttload of time to vent, especially the bolt.
You can speed the gun up if you connected the bolt using QEVs, and redesigned the valve system a bit, and you'll have a faster shooting system. I'm wokring on that but it's not a priority of mine. But until then, they're still great for tinkering.
I beileve when somebody said 9-bps, they were thinking of the older pneuventures Shockers, from 95-97. Those clunkers were pretty limited (lol)

Thanks for the info. I had a feeling you'd chime in.
I'd still give a kidney for a Cyber, though.

I was planning on adding the mini-morlock to my Prodigy E-grip but never felt like blowing that kind of cash on a VL marker. I'll be a little bummed if I can't by it anymore.
