Is the only safety for the Emag the plastic pin that goes on the side of the battery pack? Will AGD manufacture an on/off switch like other electric markers? Is there a mechanical safety for the trigger?

There is a mechanical safety on the grip that blocks the sear from moving.

Its right where your thumb meets your hand on the gripframe.

Adding an on/off switch would be a 5 minute task since all the plastic pin does is shove an insulator between one of the contacts on the battery and the lead on the marker.

I don't think the yellow pin is so bad. Just remove it in the beginning of the day and put it in a safe place. The battery lasts forever, so there's no need to worry about running out of juice after a long break in the day.

Just my $.02...

Was there a reason to use the pin and not the on/off switch? The on/off switch just seems to be a cleaner solution. Not having a pin to lose or dangling off a string would be better?

Here's an idea for AGD:

Get rid of the pin and have the safety and selector switch cut the battery.

the reason there si no on off switch is that they havnt found one small enough and strong enough to hold up tot eh wattage the battery puts out
