E-bolt

I have a general idea of what an e-bolt is, but I want to know why they are so good, and why there not made any more.

The ebolt was an upgrade for the model 98/98custom markers.It made the more like a true electronic marker such as an angel,timmy,etc...

It took away the sear,rear bolt,cocking knob,and spring. Replacing it with a ram,'noid,and almost flat like rear bolt,electronic board and thus having a trigger switch.

Made the marker better by having a ligther trigger pull,reducing some of the kick and allowing faster rates of fire due to the electronics.

The only real draw back to the ebolt was the ram was not a two way as you would find in a timmay and it used a spring inside the ram housing to reset it so even with the centerfeed mod and a forcefeed hopper the fastet you could actually get the marker to fire without chopping paint was 15-16 bps.

Now with a modded ram and board the marker would fire as fast as you could pull the trigger. (search natual newbie) As he made a custom e-98.

As for the reason they stoped making them I can only guess is due to price, The ebolt ran $250 new plus the cost of the marker its self $150-200 that's almost $500, One one could by a shocker or a good used electronic marker for that so they was generally unpopular.
Also it would be cheaper to produce the sear tipper mod that they have out now.But I did like my ebolt...

I miss it!

Anyways if I didn't fully answer the topic as I could have made the post a lot longer, just feel free to p.m. me!
