So for the longest time, I couldn't figure out how the MERF 3.2 reduces electrical arcing just by plugging it in, but I finally figured it out while eating lunch (yes this is the type of shit I think about)

Basically there is no full voltage/amperage when the switch is open (trigger not pulled). Once the trigger is pulled, the unit detects that the switch is closed, turns the power on from the battery and thus there is less arcing due to the fact that the connection has already been made before the full current really gets going. There will still be arcing on the release cycle though, so it's reduced, not eliminated - just as Gate has advertised.

So it really does work - for those who are kind of lazy and want a reduction in electrical arcing and 3rd burst.

Neat.
