Counting Strokes...

[Aqua_Life]

Hey dudes,

Incase you don't recognize me, I'm still new to the Automag thing, and still trying to learn as much as I can before I but it.

I keep hearing the term 'short-stroking' as being the cause of many ball-chops. I have a general idea of what 'short stroking' is, but could someone clarify its meaning, and what exactly happens. If/when I do get the RT, I don't want to make quite so many mistakes when shooting the gun that could cause it to chop paint.

short-stroking is refered when you pull the trigger and dont let it "reset" all the way before pulling it again,causing the ball to only be half way in the breach,and the bolt comes forward,and thus chops the ball.You can also chop by fluffing the trigger,or overshooting your hopper.
