Advantages
Compared to mechanical guns, electronic guns are more consistent, more accurate and can fire faster. They can also be smaller and lighter than their mechanical counterparts. Since triggers only have to activate the circuit board and do not physically activate the firing mechanism, the trigger pull can be very light and very short. Electronic guns can also operate on a much lower pressure than mechanical guns and get more shots per tank.
Disadvantages
Electronic guns cost considerably more than mechanical markers and are not as readily available. They are difficult to repair and usually require professional servicing for problems or upgrades. Additionally, they usually require compressed air so you don't have the option of using CO2 and you have to make sure you always have a charged battery.
