Stingray that vented:
"A lot of mechs are designed to have the battery in contact with the center pin at all times and depressing the fire button moves the negative contact upwards and completes the circuit . This is true for the Stingray X and the black copper Stingray as well as the Panzer , I own all three . On both the Stingray and the Panzer it's possible for the negative contact to loosen with use and protrude past the delrin insulater creating an autofire situation . Checking the negative contact is routine maintenance for me as it should be for any mech owner . I'm not posting this to beat up on anyone , but I've seen the BM's in my area pushing mechs on to noob vapers without providing them with the information needed to operate them safely . You have to know your device in addition to Ohm's law and Battery safety to operate safely ."
I asked for permission to quote him and his reply about the mod was also very informative about the Mod:"Nope I don't mind , but please differentiate between the Stingray and the Stingray X the two have different switches , the X would be prone to autofire if the negative contact works loose , it's impossible on the regular Stingray because the magnets have to make contact to complete the circuit otherwise the negative contact is totally isolated and the only way to cause an autofire is to forget to lock it .
