Mechanical or Electronic Gun - pros and cons

[@hogssolutions]

Hi My friend good to see you back making videos greetings from San Diego California we miss you videos there are super informative

The light switch Daystate is a to dream to use. TheAirwolf MVT was my best purchase to date. Did throw a spanner on pellet testing, barrel likes🙉. I found my barrel would shoot most makes well. You just needed to find the speed for them.

THE SKOUT EPOCH HAS AMAZING ADJUSTABILITY BETWEEN PULL WEIGHT AND DWELL. I WENT WITH ELECTRIC GUAGES TOO FOR GREATER ACCURACY ADJUSTABILITY. IT'S A BEAST. CALIBER SWITCHING IS EASY TOO.

I have PCPs, some have a mechanical trigger, and one has an electronic trigger. The only drawback to the electronic trigger is the sensitivity. It's often in any session where I have a round or two that is pre-aimed, meaning the trigger is so sensitive, the shot is fired before I align the scope, or point of impact properly. However, that being said, the electronic triggers are by far, much superior to the mechanical triggers. And there are fewer parts to break or come loose.

Good Presentation 🎉

If you think that BRK have sopisticated trigger, then you not have shoot any high end airguns. Try example Steyr.

[@AimSmall]

I owned 2 Steyrs, and many high end air rifles, very few mechanical triggers are truly good, My FX needed a lot of work to get it perfect, my AA EV took a long time to perfect it. The Steyr was brilliant out of the box, no adjustment needed. They are all tricky, the Ghost is one of my favourite guns, but the trigger isn't good enough for the price you pay for the gun. Thank you for the comment, always good to hear other people's experiences.

@@AimSmall I bought my first PCP 2006 in Finland. That time i think in finland was about 5 PCPs. My was Air Force Condor ,22 FAC.We not have limit of power. After that 3 Steyrs and many PCPs. When i move to Thailand 2007, it was not easy to have PCP gun, but i manage to get Daystate Air Ranger FAC, and now ofcource more.

Absolutely. Generally, I don't 'like' electronic devices, especially guns (one area of life to get away from tech), but there's no doubt that an electronic trigger (and regulator control) is superior for accuracy. Still don't like em!

[@AimSmall]

Mechanical is easier to fix if it goes wrong, for sure. If this mother board crokes it is big bucks to replace

[@markusscholl4958]

That is the reason why I hesitate buying the delta wolf. If over the years the mainboard fails, 1. it will get expensive. 2. who ensures that the electronic parts are still available. mechanical parts could be reproduced much easier.

[@jameshoward9700]

@@AimSmall Yep. One of the reasons I don't like in-built electronics. They render the device (gun, camera, bike, car whatever) essentially disposable. Maybe tomorrow, maybe in 10 years... Will replacement parts even be available in 10 years? With my Weihrauchs the gun will still be being manufactured! But for sheer performance an electronic trigger cannot be beaten for pull weight or simplicity.

[@AimSmall]

@@jameshoward9700 I have 3x HW100's, I pray on a daily basis that they will keep on making parts for them as well, I have had a bad run with broken parts that are very hard to get hold off. Yes biggest draw back of electronic guns is that darn mother board, had a Daystate Panther where the mother board packed up, luckily got a replacement but it was never the same again.

Your "shooter mistake" graphic is for pistols which only have one contact point - the grip. Not really applicable to rifle shooting which has four contact points to your body - shoulder, cheek, pistol grip, and front stock (more when bench resting).

[@AimSmall]

This is where I beg to differ, too many precision shooters are ignoring the fine art of the perfect trigger pull. Where you target is a mere 2mm big, every small difference matters. For hunters shooting big targets a couple of milimeters is not going to make a difference. Recoil on PCP's in the high power category also brings into effect shoulder pressure, grip pressure and a few other details. For springer shooters it is the ability to hold the gun identical every time as they are very hold sensitive. Any sport shooter, from caly pigeon to bench will confirm th important of the trigger pull, and the trigger pull starts with the trigger finger placement.

[@nickcook7408]

A microswitch is not a trigger!

[@AimSmall]

Whahaha, actually a type of solinoid. But if it lets the gun shoot, then it is a trigger. And a great one as well. Consistend and adjustable, that is why they have been banned from Bench Rest, too consistent. Wish i had one in my EV II for HFT and FT.
