plow through the stuff on airsoftmechanics.com...precocking has been hashed out a couple of times there.
As far as I know there are three main ways of doing bursts:
- mechanical counter w/o MOSFET (like cogs on a clock sort of thing)...fragile and prone to breaking
- timed...DonP (Can producer)/Gandalf's (inventor/designer) Triggermaster series...the IC learns how fast your gun shoots, and powers the motor accordingly
- mechanical actuator w/ MOSFET...ASCU's mosfet counting system is mechanically actuated by the cut-off lever
None of that addresses pre-cocking...just bursts.
Coach's ASCU setup is very responsive. It's getting very close to a SYstemA's PTW response without having to run silly batteries or gear ratios in an AEG. Once you get up to that kind of trigger response level I notice that a lot of guys stay off of full auto and simply "tap out" bursts using semi.
The sound of his mechbox is an embarassement though...squeals like a cat being dragged or a bed of rusty nails.
