Accumulators can overlap. Annikian asked us to think about this a while back and today I found in 6-M-1, the last sentence:
"Increase Overlap to increase thrust - decrease Overlap to increase Velocity.

I know a hitter releases accumulators simultaneously and a swinger sequentially. Can a Swinger increase overlapping? Do the words increase and decrease that Homer wrote, apply that both strokes can increase or decrease the overlapping of accumulators?

An excellent question. To a certain degree, since a hitter depends more on thrust, and a swinger more on the speed of CF, I would say that they are dependent on your pattern. That is to say, a swinger is better off trending toward less overlap (sequenced release), and a hitter with more, based on the inherent physics being used.

That said, trigger types/loading action are probably the biggest factors in either case.
