Short Stroking can only be done on Autocockers. It is roughly defined as not pulling the trigger back far enough thus one of to things will happen.

1. the bolt does not go back far enough to allow a new ball into the firing position, thus chopping the ball in half and turning your Cocker into a soup machine.

2. The bolt opens far enough to drop the ball but not cock the marker, resulting in another trigger pull to cock the marker while a second ball drops into firing position. In turn either firing both balls about 10 feet, or the a fore mentioned paint soup effect.


Please go to the Worr forums for mor info.

Short-stroking happens on LOTS of guns. Including automags, rapides, advantages, and many electros.

For example, I can NOT shoot a mag without short-stroking the trigger.

Short-stroking was defined pretty well above, but consider a blowback. When you pull the trigger, the gun will fire no matter how quickly, or slowely you pull the trigger.

But for some guns, the trigger operates 2 or more different functions at the same time, so pulling it too short, or too quickly means that one function gets done, and the other might not.
Or, it might just mean you can pull the trigger faster then the gun itself can physically handle. Guns like rainmakers tend to "burp" when you pull the trigger faster then 14bps.
