If anyone has ANY news on the new Medusa trigger frame, post it here. any information would be appreciated. this is what I have so far:

Our new Benchmark Medusa "Sling" Trigger Frame is almost ready. We are finishing our Beta testing, and the results are even better than expected. Our head tech Earl has his trigger down to a 1mm SUPER light pull. The really good news is that this frame will fit both 'Cockers and Mags (you'll see...).
(seen on the proteam webpage @ http://www.proteamdirect.com/updates.html)

Please note that we also have a new frame coming out - the Medusa - with is a sling or swing trigger, magnetically balanced and designed for both cockers and mags (same frame, different sears). You might want to hold off and get this when available (coupd of weeks).

I also read that and am wondering about it... pro team has made a lot of things that people don't know they did and turned out really well. I've always had bad luck with trying out new things, so I'm gonna wait for them to come out and get reviewed before anything, and until then buy myself an intelliframe... does anyone happen to have some 'inside info' or pics or anything?

hmm, i bet the magnets are just already pulling the trigger a little, acting like a small assist, making you have to just (theoretically) break the friction of the trigger and the magnets will do the rest. neat, but odd, and probably not as good as they say.

i could be wrong though. :D

my boss at the paint shop i work at says he know something about it when i asked today. he said its very similar to the emag frame, using magnets instead of spings to return the trigger, or something like that. anyhoo he basically said its like an aftermarket adjustable emag frame for a classic mag, or that was my understanding of his explanation of it.

i havent heard anything about prices, but cant imagine it costing too much. benchmark hasnt really been known for ripping off on prices, and it cant possibly cost too much to replace spings with magnets, can it? guess we'll wait and see.

im pretty sure its mechanical, no electrics, just magnets.

Thats a good idea!
I would buy one.. actually I would wait for reviews and money. :p
Im not familiar about how the magnet system works on emags though.. I really should learn.. :p

I hope its angled a little bit like the z grip but not nearly as much.maybe just 15 degrees. but i bet it won't happen. i have a benchy right now and kinda want to get rid of it for a intelli frame but i don't wanna spend the money. if it has a fairly short pull and not much slop, i'll prolly get it. I wish they had a picture of it.

08-04-2002, 10:15 PM
Well, I bet its going to be 100-200 USD, maby more..

sniper1rfa
08-05-2002, 09:49 PM
the phrase "magnetically balanced trigger" leads me to believe its something more than just a magnetic return. like i said, i bet the magnets are already pulling the trigger a little, making for a lighter trigger.

To answer a few questions, we are going to debut the frame at the World Cup in Orlando in October. That is not to say that some frames will be available before that. We have some people testing the frames and submitting there feedback. We hope to have all the feedback in by the first part of Sept. If it is all good then we will release the frame then, if not we will rework what needs to be corrected and go from there. Myself espeically, I want to make sure this frame is as close to perfect as it can be. I know we won't make everyone happy but we will make the vast majority happy. But on the specifics, right now there are NO electronics in the frame, and the magnets are simply for the return, afterall, sweetspots are illegal in tournament play ;) . The frame is totally externally adjustable. On the mag you will be able to take forward play out, backward travel out and sear rod slop out. On a cocker, you will be able to fine tune the 3-way, adjust sear release,, and adjust backward travel, and adjust spring tension on the sear. Unfortunately we still have to have that nasty spring under the sear, but we are working on a way to eliminate that as well. Well enough for know, keep watching the web for the release and I will keep watching on here for any questions.

I emailed pro-team and asked them about the release date of the Medusa Frame. Basically I was wondering where the pictures are since it has been 2 months when they said it would be released soon (June 4th). This is the reply I got, some of this was already mentioned in the post above:

We got a couple of ideas from the testers that we are incorporating into the frame, we are currently reworking these items and with any luck, our testers will like them and we will get the frames released to the public. However it may be as far out as World Cup before we are ready to release them. I am sorry for the wait but we are trying to release the best frame to date (by anybody) so we don't want to rush it.

I say take your time......

EDIT: I have a question for Pro-Team about the Mag Medusa Frame version, will the current sear used for stock Mags be also used with this frame, or will there be a new sear?

personman
08-07-2002, 01:23 PM
Sounds nice, Im assuming your from benchmark?
Take your time, see if you can make it high quality, no offence but the current benchmark frame for automags isnt very good. Lots of slop as I hear.

InvisibleBill
08-08-2002, 02:04 PM
Sounds cool. But the slop that personman mentioned would keep me away for a bit, untill I could play with one. And why would you want frostys:D? Ben and Jerries Ice cream is better, and hot chicas work at the local Ben and Jerris (another great reason...girls!). Oh, is the medusa doudle? I am assuming it is. IB.

Angry Man
09-06-2002, 01:38 PM
this info is for the cocker version, but uhh....still interesting.

not sure how light the trigger pull is but it's a "whole lot lighter" than 3-pounds (the guy said a 3 pound minumum scale was all he had acess to)

3 way has some effect on the trigger pull but apparently it's about the same even with different 3 ways. of course length of pull is dependant on 3 way, though

msrp is gonna be about 130 (not sure if it's gonna be the same for the cocker and mag versions), so it'll be competitively priced with the intelliframe

Brendan
09-09-2002, 05:45 PM
I am really interested in this frame. I need to know a few things though. First, when you say you can get the trigger pull down to 1mm did that involve sear modifications(i.e. sanding, shaving, etc)? second, how much is that actuall pull in pounds on the mag version? got any hard numbers? third, how much, when, and where?!!

Angry Man
09-09-2002, 06:39 PM
The trigger pull is less than 3 pounds for the cocker, about the same for the mag I assume.

I think 1mm is on the cocker, mags just can't have mechanical triggers that short, but I assume it's VERY short for the mag too. (Since I've never seen a cocker hinge below 1cm, I think mags and triggers have similar triggers but who knows....)

allowing a mag user to adjust a front stop/back stop/sear movement seems like a very precarious move for PTP. As far as I can tell, it would be tantamount to telling everyone to put trigger stops in front of and behind their triggers and telling them to adjust their trigger rod to make their trigger pull as short as possible.

How I understand it, I think this may result in a lot of burned out sears from a user that saw the 1mm figure on a message board and said "I WANTS OT AMKE MY TRIGGAR THAT SHORT! 1MM LIEK MY BRTOHAS COCKAR!! TRIOGGAR JOB YAYS!"

drx975
09-16-2002, 04:56 PM
Kamikaze you are right. Remember this everyone: if AGD's Intelliframe is yay-short in pull, then that's the shortest it will get. No one knows Mags better than AGD themsselves, therefore, they should know whats good and not good for your gun. Using a conventional method (unique and easy, yet bad for the gun) I made a 1mm trigger out of my stock frame, using the safety as a trigger stop. I figured however that it would eventually chip the bolt, as very little metal is holding the bolt in this setup.

HOWEVER, by use of magnets, this frame could (and more than likely is) a totally different situation. What I mean is this: take neodymium magnets (some of the more powerful magnets even at a small size, believe me they are STRONG) and put the poles together, North and North or S and S. Now when you let go of one, the other will go flying across the table (yes). Now, with powerful magnets such as these, or even more powerful magnets, a 1mm pull could actually push a magnet (and thus the sear) the length of 5mm or maybe more, including the resistance from the bolt. This would also yield a tremendously light trigger pull because the magnet is now doing all the work by pushing the sear for you. The only thing that will be a temporary problem will be getting used to an Angel-like trigger. From the way I see it, there should be no premature wear on any part. This is all of course, assuming the frame is machined to exactly how it is supposed to be. Just manufacturing this product will make it expensive.

So think about this, and remember we are developing new ideas all the time. Just because we think that we cannot make a trigger pull shorter, doesnt mean that we are right...

I think this frame should work well.

The trigger stops in back are a good thing. It allows you to adjust for over travel of the trigger. You really don't have to pull the trigger past the point where it releases the sear. Any additional travel is time and energy wasted.

The trigger stop in front is good if it is done correctly. It allows you to adjust the angle that the trigger sits at rest. This would have to be done in conjunction with the trigger rod and the rear trigger stop.

The total trigger pull length can't change unless the trigger rod is relocated further down the trigger. Maybe they've done this too. That would be neat and feasible if the magnets could offset the additional pull required to move the sear.

I can hardly wait to see this new frame and the possibilities it gives us.

joeyjoe367
09-18-2002, 03:56 AM
It could also be that the rear-front trigger stops are only for the 'cocker versions. PTP DOES make the micro series of mags, so they probably know, to some extent, what they're doing.

I'd 'still like to see what this thing's got goin' for it tho.

askearl
09-18-2002, 09:00 AM
Just a little more info, I know this isn't a cocker forum but with all the talk on the Medusa I figured I would add this little comment. There are 0 springs in the frame now. Yes 0, the sear spring for the cocker is now replaced with magnets and it works very well. Still playing with the mag part but I hope everyone will be happy when it comes out. Just don't expect too much. The Medusa is a very sweet frame but it is still a mechanical frame so you still have to pull the trigger. I do agree with drx975, there is a minimum amount of travel that the mag sear has to make in order for the gun to work so just keep this in mind. Also, I am begging to post some pictures, I even have them ready, I just have to get the OK to place them on the web, but when I do, they will be on here first. I will even try to post them on here before we place them on the PTP website. SO keep the posts coming and if you haave any ddirect question you can post on here or you can e-mail me directly.

Well, This thread just made my Day, I dont have a mag yet, but Im looking at either the TKO mag or just a powerfeed mag, If anyone knows whether or not the TKO coems with the video and stuff? If it does Im going for the TKO, if not, Im going to get just a stock one and thenbuy stuff, so If anyone knows whether or not the TKO coems with the video, that will help greatly! But, I tlooks like I dont want the Intelliframe anymore, but this thing looks great! I emailed Benchy just awhile ago, hopefully Ill gte some more answers for this forum.

I talked to the lovely sales lady at Pro Team, and all I really found out was that they are going to have them all the cup, they are probably taking all they have completed with them for sale there, and the following week or so will start to sell um much like the Extreams & Level 10's As fast as they can make um... So get in line... I know I will be. Sounds like a nifty toy... and yes the price will be slighty higher than that of an I Frame....but sounds like it will be worth a try... I think I am going to be building a new and a 3rd Micro-RT to see what I can get this lady to do... And know I'll be sure to let AO know what I come up with...

But I forgot to ask if it will come in a blade trigger, so if the folks at pro team in the know see this??? and I pray it does... I know the standard double benchies don't, so I may be taking a dremel to a groove... it wouldn't be the first time...But would hate too...

Coaster
10-22-2002, 11:42 PM
just want to tell you guys how i think it works. They have a gear that makes it 5 times as hard to pull but at the same time moves the sear the same amount as a normal one , the opposite of the Current Benchmark Frame. Then they compinsate this with magnets that reduce the pull by 10-15x making the pull very short, with a constant pull on the trigger.

heh heh wow ur funny, but u see this is my third login name. the previous 2 were lost when forums were deleted and when they switched servers. so between all 3 ive been on these forums for 2 1/2 years and have 800+ posts. thank you very much.

and since when does 63=45? what math class are u in? not like post numbers matter anyway, u dont have to chime in on ever thread u see. u dont have to voice ur opinion to gain knowledge as u seem not to know.

i like the look on the mag. one thing really bothers me though. does anyone else HATE those stupid pink-purple grips??? its a dumb question, i know, but i hope they dont all come with that.

by the looks of it u should be able to throw on ur DYE stickies with no problems.

Hey ZyperioN I was being sarcastic. Im only a noob on automags I got a lot of posts on PBReview and some on paintball-guns. But who cares. Off subject.

Ya those grips gotta go. And I don't know if I like the whole look of the thing. And what is the deal with that hole think behind trigger. It looks like dirty brown but it is prob supposed to be black.

i think that the hollowed out area inside the trigger guard area is a place for your third finger to sit, if you don't want to fire double, without getting in the way.
If you ask me (I know, no one has) it's about time sombody came up with a fram that will work both single and double easily.

Guyz...give it a chance, I thought it was terrible looking at first, but now i think its fine, just throw your dye stickies on it (you should have them if you spend this kind of money on frames), and get a chrome version. Yea its a lot of money, but wait for some reviews and opinions and consider the capabilities of the frame...VERY light pull, and very short. New for a Mag, isn't it?

Anyone have a picture of this frame in chrome??

EDIT: (update)


We had planned on putting the pictures up on the site this week, but as you can tell by my e-mail (time) we have been broken into this evening and 1 of the items taken was the finished mudusa frame on an Autococker. Anyway as soon as we build another one up and have it finished we will get it up on the site. Thank you for your patience.

Tracy

Hm - that sucks. Hopefully they will get it together soon and we can see the chrome one, which I have a good feeling will look much better.

this is what it should look like more or less with a dye sticky
this is another photoshoped picture still not a real

i think the chromed version with dye sticky will look much better

Hey, that Dye stickies post doesnt look too bad! i like it! I think oit looks pretty cool, anyone know what lies beneath the skin*err grips*? Is it intellifiable, cause if it is, I thuink Im going medusa instead of Iframe unless the medusa preformance is poop.

Thrash
11-07-2002, 10:29 PM
the dye stickies look great but doesn't match too well in the picture but im sure it'll look better in person. I looks like you'll have to cut the grip to get it to fit though

speedyejl
11-08-2002, 12:37 AM
In all honesty the frame looks fine, but they got change the stock grips with something nice. The stock grips are just scary, also most people wont want to butcher the grips so they will fit, which makes it even more important that the frame comes with nice grips.

ZyperioN
11-08-2002, 03:31 PM
lol those arent even DYE stickies, they r the eco-grip DYE's. lol what a n00b.

someVWkid
11-08-2002, 04:41 PM
eco grips are the same thing cept without a shiny Dye logo. i might rethink callin people that call em stickes a noob, what would you call em? it really is the same thing. only a fool would get the "better" version at $10 more. you dont even notice when u play. the intelli has dye "stickies" that are in actuality the eco version. if yer gonna go correcting everyone, go correct AGD. see what they say.

ZyperioN
11-09-2002, 02:27 PM
yes there actually is a difference, besides the jewel on the actual stickies, the eco-dye's arent nearly as tacky as the real DYE's. so yes i would pay $10 more to have a better looking grip with better feeling. oh and if AGD is calling the DYE eco-grips on the intelli's Stickies, then that is mis-leading to the customers and they should just call them DYE grips.

the whole conversation on the grips is intereting, BUT does anyone have anything to say about the performance of the grip frame? that is whats important to some of us. so i would would appreciate any info anyone has on performance, thanks.:)

roflamo, how do u know that this thread has been going on for 5 months u havent even been here one month?

Oh and they havent even released the frame as a single frame, the only way you can get it is to buy the f/x sleeper cocker that the frame is on. So stop jacking off over it and give PTP some time to finish it off and ship it to distributors. Expect it for christmas.

Whats really funny is that at paintball-guns.com there are like 10 guy ive seen in the past month trying to trade there cockers for mags! they say cockers can compete with mags cuz cockers cant shoot very fast. whats sad about cockers was that there so slow that they had to come with the e-blade an electo cocker.i would rather save that thousand and buy an rt

Why is there more info on this site about the elusive "medusa" than on the ptp site. that is bollocks.I for one am very very ready to test one of these out. or at least here what other people who have shoot one have to say about it.

You know u make no sense of what you talking about, so thats right just leave, leave now. So any way has any heard some info on this fricking trigger frame??? Ok the elves in the "shoe box on a grip frame" (shocker) are going to sleep now good-bye :o

11-14-2002, 07:41 PM
wow. new to AO and all you've done so far is rant about something irrevelant.
how do you even know if BTAutomag was being sarcastic?
even if he WASN'T, which i doubt because he's a nice guy, you took it personally why?
i agree 100% with what magnj said about you.
now it looks like you and zyp know each other, well. both of you together need to stop with the ignorant comments, stop ruining the thread about the medusa frame. obviously when people find out information they'll go ahead and let all us know, since 95% of the members on AO are very friendly and not rude.
nuff' said.


anyways.

i think i'll wait to see how the frame works on the field until i look into buying one of these. the concept of it is neat.

I guess I will just have to keep any more information on the Medusa Frame to myself.:mad: :mad: :mad:

Hi peeps!
Got a mail from Tracy at the place where they make (apparently) the Medusa frames.
They have been working great on cockers but have been having problems getting them to work on ALL mags. She said they dont want to release the frame till they have got it right.
She will mail me with some stats soon hopefully.
Cheers

P.S. Automag for sale (have an RT now) in the UK.

yeah i have to agree im starting to lose faith, pity PTP didnt know how much we were liking it, maybe if they knew they would have kept their promises and got us pics back in the summer. well thats their loss im grabbing an intellframe too. Just goes to show how important it is to keep ur customers updated on progress.
