Gale Force FAQs

Q: What is the Gale Force?

A: It is a after-market drop-in board for the Brass Eagle™ Rainmaker™ board. It gives the user enhanced modes of fire, along with the ease of trigger-programming.

 

Q: Does it support an LED?

A: Yes, we will wire up an LED on request, but installation (drilling) would be up to you to do.

 

Q: Does it support an Anti-Chop eye?

A: Yes, it will support either the Timberwolf style or KM2 style of eye sensors. But must be custom installed by Doc or Timberwolf.

 

Q: Can I install this myself?

A: Easily, it fits in exactly where the old board went, without modification of any kind. As long as you have a pushbutton-type switch. (See next question)

 

Q: Can this be added to any Rainmaker™?

A: Yes and no. It will run in any rainmaker but only drops into ones with the pushbutton switch. It will NOT run a lever-switch type without modification by an airsmith.

 

Q: Will you modify my lever-switch Rainmaker™ to use the Gale Force?

A: Yes, we will install a microswitch if you send your gun and $25 for return postage. However it won't be pretty, as you can see in the above picture I epoxied the switch in place. It works extremely well, it's just ugly.

 

Q: I don't want it ugly. What can I do?

A: I am fairly certain that Timberwolf or Doc will do custom installs, but you will have to ask them about price and availability.

 

Q: How much does it cost?

A: $95 + $8 for FedEx 3-day or $20 for FedEx overnight.

 

Q: How do I order one?

A: send check or money-order to: 488 Kennesaw Ave, suite B Marietta, GA, 30060 along with a note detailing what you are ordering.

 

Q: What are the modes, and how do they fire?
Mode Effect Tournament Lock
Semi-Automatic One shot for every trigger pull Yes
Turbo One and a half shots for every trigger pull No
Turbo-9 Turbo Mode, limited to 9 shots per second Yes
Double Trigger Shot fired when the trigger is pulled and again when it is released. No
Burst Programmable number of shots fired when trigger is pulled. No
Full Auto Continuos fire with trigger depressed. No

 

Q: What are the DIP switches used for now?
Switch 1-3 Rate of fire (8 to 13 balls per second)/turbo-9 tourney lock
Switch 4-5 Dwell lock in semi-auto mode
Switch 6 Semi-Auto tourney

 

Q: How does turbo work, and what is the criteria for getting extra shots?

A: Turbo fires additional shots (1 extra for each 2 trigger pulls) whenever it senses the trigger being pulled faster than twice per second. This is the result of a precise computer program and NOT switch bounce. You always get the extra shot, and never more than 3 for 2 (total).

 

Q: What is dwell, and what good does it to to change?
A: Dwell is the amount of time the MAC valve is held open. With the way this gun fires it makes no difference to velocity, but the lower it can be set, the faster the Rate of fire can be set to (in general)
