Hello AGN!
I'm hoping to get some opinions / feedback about electronic guns. Being very candid, electronics on a gun have never appealed to me. That being said, I'm really trying see things from the other side of the fence. I'll list some items below that I would consider turn offs with electronics but I'm keeping a very open mind and would like to hear you try to talk me into it.
Here are my "negatives". Please feel free to try to turn them into positives. Like I said, I'm keeping an open mind and appreciate constructive opinions.
1.) Electronics are unnecessary? ---- What are the performance benefits coming from the electronics?
2.) Added cost? ---- I see most of the Daystate guns that offer electronics are easily in the upper echelon of pricing. What are the benefits that counter the added cost?
3.) I need batteries? ---- The electronics are arguably reliable, (even mechanical guns have failures) but do I really want to carry extra batteries everywhere? Even if you get the reported 4000 shots between battery changes, it still seems like it's "just one more thing" to have to pay attention to.
4.) Also, wouldn't this reliance on batteries preclude the gun from being considered as a "survival tool"? (I'm not a survivalist myself, just saying, lot's of people are, it may be a consideration for some)
5.) Computer mouse click trigger ---- I'd love to try one, and I've never heard any complaints, but the match triggers on all the high end guns I've tried have never left me wanting for anything more. Any benefits to the mouse click trigger?
6.) Electronic regulation ---- Below are two screen shots from Steve at AEAC. At first glance the Crown shot curve seems flatter but on closer inspection they both appear to have about a 20 FPS extreme spread. I'd call it a tie but Steve indicates the mechanical regulator results are "pre break in" indicating results may improve? I'm open to hear opinions.
Steve's results from electronic regulated gun:

Results from mechanical regulated gun:
Anyway, that's all. Electronics have always been such a "no" for me that it seems a foreign concept that someone would go that way by choice and I'm just trying to see things from that point of view to try to understand the appeal better.
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
