Mechanical Debounce

[lthg]

How does it function? Is it an electronic countermeasure the board has in it?

I understand the basic working of it, but would like to know a bit more of how it works and why it works.

Which leads me to my question. When I bought my G7, it came with no rear magnet in the vernier wheel. This was done to "lighten" the pull of the trigger. My question is, does the MDB work with the vernier wheel magnets or is it solely electronic feature that works on the trigger through the board alone?

I have been thinking of removing the magnet in the real wheel after I replaced it but do not want to do it if it will affect the MDB capability.

Thanks in advance.

MDB is an electronic feature - not actually "mechanical".

"Mechanical" bounce can be defined as bounce caused by recoil from the firing cycle resetting the trigger. Or on a gun that uses a microswitch, the actual, literal resetting of the internal mechanism of the microswitch (this is non-existent in optical switches, because they do not have internal parts that physically make contact each cycle like a microswitch does). Basically what MDB settings do is require that a certain amount of time has elapsed from one trigger activation to the next to ensure that "accidental" activations caused by bounce don't get recognized by the board. The "Turbo" mode on the ancient Shoebox Shockers worked by completely removing any trigger signal filtration, and firing on all of the trigger "echoes" that the board sees each shot. There is an interesting article on that here: http://warpig.com/paintball/technical/turbo/index.shtml

*edit* You'll probably get your questions answered more quickly by posting in one of the specific model forums and not just the general platform forum.
