What is it that a butterfly with a Pratt & Whitney PT-6 turbine engine and heat seeking missiles can do that a normal butterfly can't?

higharc. Have a search of the forum for electric picks. They work in a similar fashion to a pick gun, but do not require the manual pulling of a trigger.

Good luck!

The vibration causes the top pins to raise above the shearline.

I'm fully aware of how an electric pick works. What I don't understand is your explanation. Many many shear lines??

RobertB's description makes perfect sense. I just don't get yours Master. I'm not having a go at you here, I just don't get what you mean by many many shear lines. There's still only one shear line.

Lemme rephrase,

You have better chances with a electric pick the a standard pick gun because you can make the driver pins jump up many more times a second than a pick gun, which gives you more chances of catching the shearline :D

I think I am the only one that understood my explanation up there lol..Sorry :roll:

The electric pick gun vibrates the pins up and down which will put the pins above the shearline. It does this very fast so it is like very fast raking. Because of its speed it can use a large number of random assortments that will eventually set the pins at the shear line.

Raking=time+luck. Electrical picking=luck.
