What are the advantages to an electropneumatic marker over an electronic one?
This will give you increased consistency and reduced recoil in most cases, and far superior fire rates up into the numbers of 50 cycles per second and above. Although no loader could feed this rate, it is nice to have the availability. Some electropneumatic designs are extremely simple in comparison to other marker types, and are highly reliable as a result. Marker technology is evolving and the electronics are becomming more and more complex. In the future we’re likely to see advanced computer interfaces, connections to a headset HUD (heads-up display), etc.
