Seems to be more to go wrong on the electrical gun though!!
Yeah, less moving parts is always worse for reliability...????
@@mymodel6 A lot of things that are electric have more problems than mechanical things, moisture, fuses, heat ect can play havoc with electrics!!!
@@stigg333common misconception, they have been running the same tech in paint ball guns for many years. They get caked in mud, shoot 100’s of thousands of rounds, very few issues
Like your “new look”pale blue shirt’s,makes the presentation much easier on the eyes as we can see the detail of the rifle,instead of losing it against your old black shirts👌🏼
For me its the easy pull of the cocking mechanism and the quiet function of the trigger/solenoid esp a bullpups near your ear. Had to sell Vixen and Krait as the hammer was too loud for my tinnitus. I still own my Ghost as its just so accurate. My other 3 guns are electric, Redwolf Blue, Redwolf Safari and Alphawolf Safari. Absolutely love them.
How does the Ghosts compare to the Wolves ?
Enjoyed the video guys , never had the opportunity to shoot an electronic trigger as yet !! Enjoyed our little chat Tuesday afternoon , hope my waffling didnt slow u down too much !!😀
Great info guys I have. BRK Pathfinder, great bit of kit, I have been thinking of buying a Alfa Wolf, thanks for the video 👍
Really interesting and entertaining vid! Thanks, Baz.
Good video, very interesting.
Enjoyed the video guys
Another great wee video..brilliant
Both great air guns if a little bit pricey
Test both guns offhand, I’ll bet you will prefer the mechanical trigger.
Wishful thinking from someone that's never fired an electronic trigger, though you'll definitely now insist that you have...
Good video, guys; I would say the Alpha Wolf is a woman's choice nice colours easy to pull the loading lever back sexy plastic colours and an easy trigger pulling it won't brake one of your nails; HO and make sure the battery is fully charged! Not for me, guys, but just having fun.
Ghost is too heavy for me personally, and am guessing the alpha is about the same weight. But electronic is getting too technical for an sub 12 airgun . I think the makers would be better to come up with a semi auto model. The red wolf is awful and not for me at all. Enjoyed your video tho 😉
The Red Wolf is awful...? Some people really do sat stupid shit...
I love my Ghost purely for being manual, my experience with electronics they are expensive to repair where the manual Ghost parts are readily available and can be repaired in house. Going off on a tangent and the dangerous world we live in if we had an EMP from Russia as they threat us with, this would render the electronics on the Alpha and Delta Wolf expensive door stops without being able to hunt! Same goes for expensive optics.
I call bs... The Alpha wolf has ONE moving part in it's entire trigger mechanism, and that single moving part does so with zero friction... I'm glad you're happy with your Ghost, but deluding yourself that a purely mechanical trigger is somehow more reliable. The rest of your post just shows that you an insane paranoid person...
at the time had air arms hft 500 and a daystate mk4 is best trigger was daystate ----- just
What happens when the battery stops working? Lipo batteries only last a handful of years.
The Red Wolf (their first rifle using this LiPo battery) was release in 2018 and hasn't had any systematic problems. We're not battery experts ourselves obviously but even if they do fail replacements are cheap enough
Great video but I would never buy a rifle with electronics as an old git who repairs car electrics for a living and has seen the evolution of more and more electronics in cars, yes they do more complicated and advanced things but also means there’s more to go wrong and harder to fix. I go by the acronym KISS, keep it simple stupid.
But back in the 80’s we were happy with cars that did 30mpg and pretty poor performance, could not always stop and we had to do almost daily checks on tyres, water level, oil, etc
Now we have cars doing 50 or 60 mpg, warns us if one tyre is a little low when we are doing 70 on the motorway, cadence breaking, etc
Yes I loved my old Mk 1 Escort but compared to my modern car I would not go back ( sitting fixing things on my drive in December was never really fun 😊)
You made my point for me. In the 80’s a reasonable competent person with a basic toolkit could fix your own car now you need me with thousands of pounds worth of equipment to diagnose a fix even the simplest problems
@@reaney41 I would not want to go back to it !
@@reaney41 You're defeating your own argument... The electronics in the alpha wolf make the gun a LOT more simple. The entire trigger mechanism has ONE moving part, and apart from when it hits the valve, does its job entirely friction free. You are basing your opinion on ignorance...
