I’m going to put lots of smiley faces here so no one gets their feelings stepped on.
No offence to anyone that is contributing to the ideas here, but we are drifting away from my intent of the thread. I'm not asking for design ideas, what I'm after is "part function ideas" if that makes sense.
I have many ideas on how to make the part adjustable in everyway necessary. If you guys can tell me what function and what problems you have with the wedge designs that are out there now, I will try to design a part to the standards which you guys deem important.
My only real problem is I have never used this part myself so I don’t have a reference to the pros and cons of its intended function.
Remember form follows function.
Also, making references to other products does not do me any good unless someone wants to send them to me to use for reference.
Here is what I have gathered from the input so far:
A. Basic idea behind the wedge is to shorten the marker horizontally.
B. I'm also guessing that the tank resting on the shoulder stabilizes the marker for firing.
C. Problem area: Wrist angle.
D. A single angle will not suit every frame, i.e. 45, 90*, Y or the Z grip.
When we get closer I will start doing mock ups so I figure out some of the issues myself, I just have a few projects ahead of it so it give me some time to gather your likes and dislikes.
I’ve ran into this for many years (not just in paintball) people come to me and ask me to make something and the first thing they start with is how to design and go about making the part, my response is always the same “tell me what you want it to do, not how to design or make it”.
