I can't believe so much negative comments are being made about a gun that none have own or shot. I purchased one and I've been shooting guns of all types for 60 years and being a retired electronic engineer I can tell you CVA has a great product in their new Electra Arc. If you drive a modern car your life depends on many complex electronic circuits working as you travel along. I looked over the list of things that could go wrong. I could give a more pratical list of what does go wrong with many existing muzzle loaders, but why bother.The CVA will not let a cap fall off, have the tripple -7 ring caused bya too hot primer and the lock time is the fastest I've ever shot in any gun.The battery will not be a problem in cold weather if, as they suggest using a lithium batteryI don't hunt any more but if I did this would be the one gun I would use. And I have many muzzleloaders to chose from. A large number of people walk around every day with an electronic pace maker and are darn glad because of it. The biggest problem I've ever hand in a circuit design is the mechanical components failing. 80% of car repairs are mechanical problems.... I'll just bet if you would shoot one of these rifles you too would be surprised in its performance. Charles
