a motor control unit configured to receive input from a user and provide power to the motor as a function of the input received from the user; wherein:
the input from the user varies between a zero value and a maximum value, and
the motor control unit increases power provided to the motor from a predetermined minimum power level corresponding to a minimum rate of fire to a predetermined maximum power level corresponding to a maximum rate of fire linearly as the input from the user increases linearly from a minimum, non-zero value to the maximum value.
