But there is no point unless you are going to do the two way mod.

sorry two way mod included  so your vote disbanded im bringing the ebolt back

Ebolt, two wayed.

WAS board with step down to 5v for the 98, A-5, and X7
That would be nice.

My X7 ram. Upgraded from single action last year.

OK its 1 AM here now and I will explain  before I go to sleep.

The E-Bolt works as an electro-pneumatic replacement for the  hammer and hammer spring and  the sear aswell.

It contains  a low pressure regulator, board with solenoid valve, trigger switch, Battery switch and the RAM, a piston, that moves the tiny bolt forward by  the low pressure (about 80 psi) which is now just a "valve opener". There is no need for blow back because the  E-Bolt  works pneumatic. The solenoid valve  opens the flow to the RAM. You can  setup the "dwell time" and the  low pressure  for the RAM for optimal results.

A Tippman 98C with E-Bolt shoots without recoil or with  very  few like Angels or Ego's.

The reason why some people  do 2 way mods on their E-Bolt is, that  the original E-Bolt is moved back by a spring which limits the maximum ROF and may sometimes lead to a stuck front bolt (often with low pressure kit). 2-way gives safer and faster operation of the RAM by moving it  forward and back with pneumatic pressure controlled by the board. You need a different solenoid and board for 2-way operation.

An E-Bolted Tippmann is just a pneumatic marker and can be  a paint sprayer  like any Angel if you  use a special board  with eyes and a fast loader. Even my stock E-Bolt  lets the EGO Kiddies duck behind their bunkers.

@ TinMan:  Good Job.
