Well, I guess the point is twofold. As an ammo counter, it gives you a heads-up display of the number of shots you have remaining. In the heat of battle, that is singly the hardest thing to keep track of.

As a chronograph, it's an excellent indicator that your batteries are starting to fade. Even with a small number of darts, if you have that baseline you can tell when it's time to recharge or replace.

Additionally, a chrono is the best way to figure out what types of darts work best in a particular blaster. Before getting my first chrony, I had to guess. Now I know.

That said, you're absolutely right, you don't really need one. But it's kinda like a smartphone or a DVR. Once you've had one, it's hard to imagine how you lived life without one 😁
