3) Does it use Level 10? If not, how at those speeds do you keep the marker from chopping?
4) Does it still use a spring return? If not, is there a ram that returns the bolt to the original/cocked position? If no ram, and no spring, how does it work?
5) It appears to use the powertube front half of a mag valve. Does it, or is that a whole new assembly we are seeing in the pic?
6) If its just as fast as any other electro frame(hyperframe, e-mag frame, etc) what's the fucntional advantage of this over another?
ANSWERS:
1. No it doesn't. It actually replaces the entire valve assembly with something significantly lighter. The mQ-Valve, as platformed on a Cocker, did 36bps with the only limiting factor being the loader.
2. See above.
3. Can't go into detail as far as how it will not have the chopping problems associated with the Level-7's. But if this thing ever hits the market, some ball sensing system will be implemented.
4. See Answer no. 3. There is no Ram. The number of parts are drastically reduced as well as the overall weight of the gun.
5. Whole new assembly.
6. Speed. Simplicity. Ease of maintenance. Efficiency. Tuneability.
Although this has been something that I've privately mentioned to only my closest compadres, we've always wanted to do something a$$-kicking with the 'Mag.
Maybe we can now revive the age-old battle of the titans........Mags vs. Cockers.
