If you can't see any difference here, you must be actively trying to ignore it. It's not an insubstantial change. I'm actually really surprised by the change they made here; that's a lot of volume to take out of the bolt guide. I would have assumed that would increase turbulence. Obviously Jack knows more than me though. Also the new solenoid location will probably slow the bolt speed down a bit.
And the DSR-esque bolt port profile, and the revised valve dynamics (no nose, no longer interacting with the bolt on the rearward stroke, larger sensing orifice, higher-rate spring)....
Magmoormaster, I'm curious on your thoughts about the solenoid location and its impact on bolt speed.
imped4now The CS1 and Geo4 had the noid right underneath the bolt sail, so there would be little to no delay between the noid activating and the bolt moving. Because the noid is further back on this new model, back behind the trigger, there's a longer flow path from the noid to the bolt. It'll be pretty subtle, if anything really, but theoretically that longer flow path will create a longer delay between the noid activation and the bolt moving. The velocity of the bolt moving forward probably won't change, assuming input pressure remains the same.
As someone who doesn't even currently own an electronic gun and almost certainly won't buy an R5, I think it's cool that Eclipse continues to put effort into developing/refining the Geo platform. The Gamma Core (and it's derivatives) are so good that even other companies are using it, but abandoning other designs makes the electronic marker market even more boring.
