Roller trigger idea...

[f3rr3+]

Uh... about the roller trigger thing... why dont they just make it so the roller is a micro-switch itself... like the roller in the mouse so you roll it and it tripps the switch but you dont actually roll your finger that much... and you dont have the rocking back and forth like on a AGD roller trigger.. im talking exactly like a mouse but on a trigger frame.. ill have a drawing up in a bit... gotta eat first tho..

Not sure that would pass the NPPL definition of a trigger.

somebody asked awhile ago about just taking the trigger of a spyder or another such marker where the microswitch is exposed and just rubbing the switch. i think the answer was that you have to have a trigger not just a switch.

taking the original idea one step further. why not have 2 magnets in the glove tips of your pointer and index fingers to activate the hall effect sensor. sorta like the graphic interface in minority report.

awesome idea...

Actually, I think there is a pair of gloves that has magnets in the fingertips. The problem here though is the fact that the HES doesn't have the greatest range. You'd have to get really good at it, and I think that if you were caught off guard you may not be coordinated enough (in that impulse) to correctly/consistantly pull the trigger.

i didnt say its feasible...lol. but it would be really cool.

what about 2 hess switches. that way you can get crazy trigger incidences. it would be like having a double trigger where each part of the trigger can register shots independantly.

has anybody ever tried having two triggers? what about a rocker trigger where the pivot point is in the middle of the trigger. you could work it sooo fast and each point of travel top and bottom would register a trigger incident. sort of like a seesaw. or maybe im just crazy.

thats a good idea, but it would be mighty fast, i don think a hopper or even a gun could keep up

I believe Doc that did that see-saw trigger already....not sure how it worked out!

[demonguy8]

the last one is something i had thought of doing for a while too... until i found it doesnt pass NPPL trigger regulations, since it needs 2 switches... If you can make into a hinge with ONE switch only then you got something going...

On a side topic:
All the trigger debate and methodology of shooting a paintball gun really makes me wonder why we dont just allow like 13bps fullauto, since its easier to control fire, doesnt require microscopic triggerpulls, and omg would REDUCE the shooting speed of MOST tourney players :rolleyes:

Adam Shannon, the glove thing has been done before. They say dthat they just waved their hand beside the gun, and it shot like crazy.
