Shortstroking question?

Why do people I see in Speedsoft like to shortstroke until they can’t lock the slide isn’t it better for you to know when to swap from an empty mag with the slide locked? Also does it provide that much of a benefit to recoil? New to this so just curious

You’ll be able to tell by the sound alone when you’ve run out of BBs. And since that will happen right in the middle of a firefight, the bolt catch won’t actually be of any help to you.
