Steve, you mentioned you had a Type C Wolverine? I’m very curious to know if they will do a version of the Wolverine R in Type C. Any dirt on that? Thanks.

HOLY CRAP!
Daystate is alive and well again! Man, would I love to get a Red Wolf for my wife! I've got to get another job!
I've already expressed my hesitance regarding the potential reliability and costly repairs of electronics in airguns, but Daystate has all but eliminated my fears by offering a 5 year warranty (barring any disqualifying "fine print" in said warranty). That they've made their warranty renewable and transferable eases even more of my hesitance and helps assure me that if I decide to sell it, I can get a better resale price. For such a high priced gun, that's important to me.
In the interest of efficiency and accuracy, I'm wondering if Daystate's electronic system can limit the travel or "dwell time" of the valve to make sure that the valve not only opens far enough to achieve the desired velocity, but then closes the valve before the pellet leaves the barrel? In other words, can Daystate duplicate electronically the function of FX's valve limiter adjustment provided on the Impact?
As I've expressed previously, out of all the advancements in airgun technology of late, I see more potential in electronics than anything else. Daystate is leading the way on electronics in my view. I love the idea of a "smart airgun".
Thanks AEAC

Someone has probably already suggested something like this to Daystate, but, in case no one has, why not eliminate altogether the cocking bolt/lever on the electronic models. Simply put two triggers (electronic switches) in the trigger guard that oppose one another; one in the back as a standard trigger with which to fire the gun, and one in the front of the trigger guard facing rearward with which to cycle the magazine and lock the pellet into the breech for the next round?
AirForce has a similar arrangement in their trigger guards, the front "trigger" to disengage the auto safety. The shooter simply moves his trigger finger forward to unlock the safety, and then moves his trigger finger aft to engage the trigger and fire the round. He simply moves his trigger finger, first forward, and then aft.
The same could be done on Daystate electronic guns, except moving the forward trigger would cycle the mag and lock the bolt via solenoid. Then, move the trigger finger aft and take up the slack on the first stage to unlock the safety, and a little more pressure to send the round? There would never be a need to take one's eye off the target, nor to even remove one's finger from the trigger guard to cock the gun.
Other airgun manufacturers have wisely positioned their cocking levers so that the shooter doesn't lose his sight picture and can cycle so smoothly as to enable the quickest of follow-up shots. Yet, as good as these systems are, they would pale in comparison to the smoothness of the system that I've just suggested.
Anybody have a comment about any of this? Has this been suggested before?
