AO Speed Demons!

I have recently been chastised for trying to hold back the hype on the Xmag. I have been told that NOT coming out with a constant flow of new stuff is what hurt us in the past.

Ok, I get it, I'm putting on the marketing hat so hold on to your shorts.....

Yes Ladies and Germs WHAT is it that you all want? WHY did you spend a life savings on that fly by wire, multi barrel, super regulated, compressed-air-powered-paintball-blaster??

When you go on the field don't you dream of intimidating the other team with your paintball flamethrower? Don't you want them to whisper to themselves when you walk on the field with "that gun"!!! Wouldn't you just love to tell your teammates "don't worry they are too scared to come out of the back bunkers".

Think about what it is that makes Lasoya great. What is the benchmark that they make online videos to prove. What has been the single driving force that has guided paintball technology? There is but a single answer to this question. One word that encompasses all that we search, beg and dream of in paintball. That one word is:

FIREPOWER

Firepower, we eat sleep and feed the need for SPEED! Sure you complain that you don't need it but that's because your wallet is complaining, not your adrenalin soaked brain cells. Tell me your not twitching out every shot you can when that guys is bumping up to the next bunker on the tape. Tell me you don't complain when that guy runs through your stream on the break and gets in clean to his bunker.

Sure you can blame it on bad reffing because "I know I got that guy!" but deep down inside, in the depths of your soul you know the truth. You don't like it but its true. The fact is you missed, not with one shot but with ALL your shots. You were lame, you sucked, you were just TOO DAMN SLOW to get that guy! If you loose this game its because YOU blew it on the break, YOU blew it on the bump, YOU lost in the snap shots

You can’t blame it on the gun. Nope, not the gun. Can’t POSSIBLY be the gun because I spent a fortune on this sucker. I know it shoots way faster than I possibly can. So your pet polished baby is snuggled there in your hands while your shooting at that guy and you know what your gun is saying to you? You probably have never heard it because of the air blast but its talking to you. Its saying “come ON lets GO!!” “GET THAT GUY!!” “Pull my trigger FASTER you dweeb! I’m not even breathing hard!!” . Then you miss and have to deal with that little voice inside and your gun (under its breath) whispers “laaamer”.

Now I know you feel bad, its tough to admit you suck and your gun laughs at you but I can tell you with complete authority it’s not your fault. Hey you are doing the best you can right? You sit around all week and finger your trigger while you watch TV. You missed out on the genes that give fast twitch muscles so you can blame your parents for that. After all you’re one of the fastest guys on your team!

So there has to be something more, there has to be a way to stop the voices! And by now you know that I wouldn’t be giving your ego this thrashing if there wasn’t something WONDERFUL at the end of the rainbow. But what could that be? What would possibly make me Superman on the trigger, make my gun strain under the volume of output? Damn it better be cheap because I sure can’t afford another gun. Also it has to be SIMPLE because I can’t fix anything. I want to be able to learn it quickly and install it myself with a few common tools. And whatever it is if it ever quits on me during a game I am going to slam my gun in the dirt!!!!

Well there is a new Sun rising in the east. A new day is dawning for those willing to take the step. For those who have the need for speed and want, no, DEMAND a way to fill it. We have……a trigger…..a trigger that is so incredibly simple, so incredibly reliable, so unbelievably cheap that we should have had it years ago.

In testing, the protos DOUBLED the speed of the users. On the field NO ONE was able to run through the stream on the break. Refs complained but had to shut up when they saw it was one shot per trigger pull. Most players that got hit never saw the tester because they were instantly gogged with multiple shots or had to hunker down behind the bunkers under the firestorm of paint.

Now when you see it you might just go “huh? I don’t get it” Others might say “I can’t shoot my gun like that”. I say to all of you ….GOOD!! Please DO NOT USE THIS TRIGGER!! I agree with you, can’t shoot it, don’t need it, why get it, no one uses it. Your right, stick with what you have. Melt into the crowd, make sure your next jersey says ANONYMOUS on the back. Tell your grand kids how you almost won the game. And come on down any time you want to play me. Bring along a big box of game because your going to need all of it. But one thing, DON’T ***** about loosing. Don’t complain that “its unfair” (winy voice) just shut the hell up and play!

So Tom did you develop this? Nope it was cooked up by Odyssey with a little assistance from us. If this is so simple why is it coming out now? Because now we have everything in place with high horsepower guns matched to high volume loading systems. Is it coming with the new Xmags? No, its hot off the press but we will offer it as an aftermarket item if things work out with Odyssey. Also some people won’t get it (see above). Is it going to cost a fortune? Start from the beginning and read this again! Why are you telling us this now? Because with all the lawsuit crap going on we want it in the public domain so things don’t get complicated later. Is this ANOTHER one of your big hype pitches that turns out to be BS??!!! Nope, this is for real but I’m glad you asked!!

WHEN DO WE GET TO SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(readjusting the marketing hat) Wednesday evening 7:00 pm central time I will post the proto pics.

SEE YA THEN!!

I suck at marketing,

Tom stating "Now when you see it you might just go “huh? I don’t get it" Others might say “I can’t shoot my gun like that makes me think its not a regular looking frame o.O

unless hes referring to people saying, huh? how'd he shoot that fast? i can't shoot my gun that fast."
then another storyy..

I was going to go after work today and buy an Intelliframe but I have to hold off now in case I'm buying whatever this thing is. I don't have net at home either so I won't be able to see this till tomorrow. Darn! Anyone have any input on my situation?

On the assumption it's a bumpy trigger to enable the rate of fire by sliding your finger down the trigger, would this work with the Reactive technology of the RT Mags (or ones with the XValve in them? Will we have to buy a whole new frame or will it be installable on Intelliframes? This is killing me cause I want to buy an Intelliframe today at 530-600 after work, but PNL closes at 7 and I don't have net at home to find this out anyways! Argh! Someone on the inside clue me in just so I know if I can buy the frame today (can as in buy it without wasting my money and having to buy a different frame to get this new thing, before any wiseguy responds to that).

Ultimator
01-15-2003, 10:22 AM
It's going to be for electric frames only. I doubt it will be compatible with manual triggers. An intelliframe is a manual trigger so there's your answer.

From the hints, I'm guessing a new z-grip for the e-mags?

Here is my guess about what this toy is. Since it might work for all electro's. I would guess the it is a multiple switch trigger. Why does an electro trigger have to have only one switch? With an electro gun the trigger could be buttons or even a beam instead of a "Traditional" trigger.

Sounds like the paintball makers are gonna love this thing.

ogre55
01-15-2003, 11:45 AM
Darkstorm: I don't think so because that would involve more than one ball per trigger pull and AGD stated that this device will be legal.

Sounds like the paintball makers are gonna love this thing. It's illegal in most, if not all, torunaments to have more than one switch in a marker anyway. One guy came up with a super cool Intimidator trigger that had a pivot point it the middle and two switches on either side (for walking the trigger) but the people at the NPPL made a rule agtainst it awhile ago to my knowledge.

i hope it will be a controllabe ROF. Although i know everybody would like to be able to shoot much faster,when needed, i dont want to be banned from SCVillage for overshooting some poor guy and sending him to the hospital for excessive bruising.

this quote is what makes me skeptical to the "bumpy trigger":

Refs complained but had to shut up when they saw it was one shot per trigger pull. i dont know what it is, but it has to be connected to Odyssey somehow. And for an idea so "revolutionary" but so simple as well, to be developed by an associate company...im sure tom is kicking himself for not realizing it with the release of the emag.

but if it is what he says (tom never lies;)), then i'll have to buy an asbestos barrel because these new attainable ROF's are gonna melt my current barrel. :D

*edit* i think tom has pity on us..he said he's gonna sell it for much less...because paint output is gonna be much higher. Tom, thanks for giving me an excuse to buy 5 cases of paint per day! my wallet's gonna love it!:rolleyes::D

Sorry to rain on everyones parade.....but, don't we have enough over shooting as it is. Way too much newbie bashing by jerks with wonderguns.

Although I'm bummed this new creation isn't a lighter trigger pull for normal Mags (can't afford an Emag/Xmag and don't trust the reliability of an Impulse as my only gun since I couldn't afford a second as a backup) a point to make to 50 Cal.... all these super-guns (Angels, Shockers, etc) are still one pull, one shot. It's not the gun blasting the hell out of the newbie, it's the guy handling it who is not confident enough in his ability to get the guy with two or three balls. In tourneys you need high ROF and heavy shooting because of the skill level and style of game (holding people in their bunkers and such) and I love a light trigger pull for snap shooting and not tiring out the trigger finger, but I think the real solution is having these hyped-up idiots who think they're tough because they can shoot 20BPS and who get kicks hurting new people with low-level guns to calm down, and not holding back on advancing the technology of markers. Only limits to manufacturers should be "safe (no runaway), 1 pull 1 shot, and field speed limit." The limited BPS thing is weak because companies are avoiding it anyways.

Tom Kaye- I love my mechanical (reliable) Mag, can you look for a new way to lighten the pull? A Short and light pull without electrics would be killer

nicad
01-15-2003, 02:00 PM
going out on a limb here.. but its a trigger concept.. not a grip. ie- instead of pulling the stick to make the thing fire, you <insert new trigger mechanism here> to make it fire.

this means it could be put on ALL markers which are fired by an electronic grip, as stated. is the intelliframe an electric grip? no.

out!

Doubling speed, mmmmmmmm.
14 bps currently
28 with new trigger..
28 per second, 60/case
71 seconds of firing
1.183 minutes to blow 60 bucks.
They better build some new plants to make balls and i better get into counterfit money.
ALso im gonna need a software upgrade tom. Better include that with the trigger.
I'd also recommend you patent this baby fast.
YOu better come out with an upgrade for the stock mag too!!

It could be a lot of things?...

Electro only right? Think all you need to do is is trip a switch. And there are MANY ways to do that.
Heck look on your desk an answer might be right there. Roll your wheel mouse a couple of time hear all those clicks, and if ya want you can get only one click. That isn't even tweeked for speed.
Split a double trigger, and but a switch behind each. One pull of each = one shot. Pull um both simultaniously bamn double rate of fire. Are two triggers illegal?
Or heck even make a drum full of contacts and crank it like a fishing reel, your own mini-gatling gun.

Lots of ideas if your just flipping a switch, so lets just wait and see what Tom and the Odyssey folks have dreamed up... I know I am not alone in wanting to know...

Linx
01-15-2003, 04:10 PM
If tourney rules wont allow a 2 switch trigger system how about using (1) 2-pull switch. The switch when straight, (trigger at rest) is open. When the top part of the rigger is pulled it pushed the switch back which fires. Then when you pull the bottom of the trigger the rod pulls the switch back to the rest position and then to the forward position to fire again. This would work great for walking and is still one pull one shot!

The switch that I have in the picture also is very smooth and short pull. It is also spring loaded or something because it returns to the straight position on its own. I have a few extra switches if someone would like to try and make this work.

Props to Jack for the original pic

DAMN YOU TOM!!!!!!! I realy realy can not wait!!!! You know what would be realy cool? Is if he incorperated(sp?) my twisted Z-grip idea with it! Back to subject, I'm going to die from anticipation!!!! Man was this a marketing plan? Put AO on the virge of a breakdown then just before every one goes crazy, you release it to the AGD store and for everyone to stay sane we have to buy it?

Hmm.....I think I know what it is, I even think I saw and held one of these. Back in Nov of 2001 at the Mega tour, Tom, myself and 3 or 4 other people were sitting around the AGD offices around 2am. Top picked up these few triggers and asked if we could guess how they worked. So, my guess is that these are those triggers.

or he wants the curiosity to be building up as much as possible and give it time for word to get out so the most people will be waiting, but at the same time not making everyone else wait too long.

The answer is probably yes, but tom didnt say anything about the intelli-ing it, guessing it will be a grip.

nah, you guys have it all wrong.

he's just teasing is with some imaginary trigger. it doesn't really exist. it never will. he just wants to test our loyalty.

who am i kidding?:eek: RELEASE IT!!!

Sorry Guys, but I have my doubts.

I remember the last time we say a huge post from Mr. Marketing Hat. *Cough* Crownpoint barrel */Cough*

Fits on anygun and IN TESTS doubles rof? Sounds like its not actually gonna be some sort of trigger, but instead just a little pointless hyped up gadget.

Sorry to sound pessimistic....

i bet it's a little ring u put your finger in and a little gas model plane motor pushes the ring back and forth against the trigger at a few thousand RPMs...... lol... nah, but that would be funny...

and for people who want the E-Z-grip, why would he bother with suspense like this for that???

RRfireblade

Well,
I'm not reading 4 pages so if someone said this all ready oh well. My guess is it's a trigger like the V2 wermstick that has a lip on the top front edge that allows you to shoot on the pull and then on the foward push of the lip.It's simple,easy and still one pull one shot.I have one on an impulse and it's unreal!Easily doubles your ROF.

Just a guess,
Jay.

Well, if it doubles your speed say you can shoot 10bps then you can 20bps? I don't see how that would be fun....if half the players on the field have it then everyone is just going to sit there laying down paint and not moving at all.


I don't think it would be fun to use in games IMO

Surreal
01-15-2003, 06:35 PM
i think the real question should be:

is it going to be (tournament) legal?

agdemagman69
01-15-2003, 06:36 PM
I KNOW!!!!!!!!!

its a normal trigger that has less than 1/100 mm pull to it, PLUS! it comes with 100lbs of coffee
the more you twitch, the faster it goes





im 99% sure its gonna be a ribbed trigger...

Surreal
01-15-2003, 06:37 PM
my guess would be a trigger that has multiple firing stages, some type of reactive trigger (2 shots per 1 pull), or a vibrating trigger, because face it, everyone loves stuff that vibrates.

Surreal
01-15-2003, 06:41 PM
well in that case, my impulse is in need of a new trigger/frame .. i sold my iframe ;\ .. im getting a 2003 shocker anyway, but if this is good, maybe i'll get this also.

Xerces
01-15-2003, 06:42 PM
cant be 2 shots 1 pull, then its not legal. read first post.

i think you shouldn't make the "whatever it is" for every gun, only for AGD markers so then everyone would have to buy them :) <2 hours right

AGD- you NEED a video along with lot and lot and lots of pics

01-15-2003, 07:16 PM
It will be like reeling in a fish. You just reel, and there will be flippers that hit the trigger for you. But one "click" one reel. You just sit there and reel away. And just like other AGD stuff, the lefthanded model will be available in 2006. I'm waiting Tom...

Werm's trigger would be illegal under current NPPL rules.

In effect the trigger's operation is between the two extremes of movement. With the Werm stick that would be two shots and illegal.

With triggers like Odyssey's that's only one shot so they are legal.

I'm not sure how it would be ilegal. It looks like the flang just allows you to "assist" the trigger in resetting quicker. I don't think it fires multiple shots or anything.

(who admits to knowing nothing about NPPL trigger rules...)

manike
01-15-2003, 08:12 PM
Calvin... if it's anything like a trigger I made which was similar...

when you pushed the trigger back it ran over the micro switch and fired. When you pushed it forward past the rest point it ran over the switch and fired again...

The switch is set to normally open with the trigger nub on it at rest. Running the trigger nub (at the back which touches the swicth) off the nub in either direction makes it fire ;)

It's in effect a clever and hard to realise auto response. And thus illegal. Hella fast though :)

RRfireblade
01-15-2003, 09:09 PM
Yeah Manike,
That's pretty much it and it does smoke,however,but you can set it up for a typical pull.Is it illegal for sure though? No one's ever said anything to me about it.They usually think I'm on auto till they see it's an impy.(semi only)

Jay.

RRfireblade
01-15-2003, 09:59 PM
Well after checking the rule book,I think it could be illegal.It's definitly one pull one shot unlike the autoresponse but they also won't allow "dual action triggers". So I'm not sure.

Jay.
