I like Breg.
I apologize if I moved the fence posts slightly when copying the TechPB thread over, but I'm still curious about the window of technology. I think most everyone agrees that you fun and effectiveness is not currently differentiated by the technology. So, my big question was, what kind of improvements would it take for the hardware to improve fun and effectiveness? Dream big.
For example, I think it would improve my effectiveness if my marker could automatically calibrate to a desired velocity output with a +/-5 consistency - just click 280 fps in the keypad and the marker will shoot that. I also really, really like what Josh at P4 has done with the dwell and hall effect sensor to automatically set valve opening. Improvements that help me do less work to optimize shot performance might not be a large increase in fun, but it could potentially help me worry less about maintenance between play and more about...well, play itself.
EDIT: In keeping with the car analogy - yes, you could get a neon or a golf instead of a camaro or a cadillac, but what if your car could fly or drive itself to your destination?
