ok so I e-mailed APE and this is what they said...
I can't say that their statement is totally accurate... nowadays, even the "stock" E-grip from Tippmann has adjustable dwell.
The Rampage you can adjust down to 2 ms... Now you'll never release the hammer with that setting, however our default is 6 ms. There's NO WAY the hammer is back in that short amount of time... If it were, that would be 166 BPS. Even if you throw in another 14 ms for the electro-magnetic field to collapse, that's still 50 BPS... a physical impossibility of the Tippmann design.
It's more likely they are referring to the lag of the sear, push rod, and solenoid together... it's not the electronics by any stretch of the imagination.
Given that scenario, Tippmann is now including a magnet to assist the sear as it returns to the "catch" position. It's available in the newer clamshells.
I'd be interested in knowing whether it works. Eliminating all the reciprocating mass for the marker would make it a much better design. I don't know anyone who's using it.
I'd pose your question on the A5 Owners Group.
