Animalhitman, that's why I'd like to see empirical evidence. Having seen the amount of electronics die that I've seen, I have a hard time with electronic guns. Maybe I'm wrong, the evidence one way or the other has to be out there somewhere!
Having been in computers since the mid-1980's, I've seen way too many boards just roll over and die, in virtually perfect conditions, which generates concern when we have boards in cold, wet, hot, dry, dusty, nasty conditions.
Plus, if one compares digital guns to mechanical guns, the parts are different, but still there. Like, the trigger changes from a mechanical type to a digital switch, Regulator changes from a mechanical regulator to an electronic regulator. Even the valve assembly exists on the electronic gun, just different technology. Instead of hammer, spring and valve, you have an electronic valve controller with a solenoid and to open and close the valve.
Fundamentally, same number of parts, just different placement and technology. So, what does an electronic gun really give me? That's a good question because I have never fired one. Need to find a daystate dealer close by so I can see if it really is that much better than an Impact. I know it'll be better than a Marauder, but not sure how much if that is electronic and how much is just better build quality. It's all so subjective
And, I am building a new computer over the next few weeks, but won't go back to a Babbage machine, I do need a bit more than that.
