Does anyone know advantages/disadvantages to high/low dwell settings on the A4 Fly?

Dwell is the time the valve is open. High dwell (im assuming more time open) wont give you as much velocity as a low dwell (open shorter?).

I guess thats how you change velocity on those guns.

Dwell time is how long the valve stays open (ie. how much air gets to the ball.)  The only difference I see is that when the dwell is on the lowest setting, the gun has the least kick and the least noise.  Are there any advantages to having it set high or disadvantages to having it low?

If the valves open longer (high) youll probaly get less shots per tank because its less efficiant, along with a higher velocity and more kick.
