Y Grip First Look
Y-Frame First Look AO, We have started to take a look at the Y frame concept and its starting out on a rocky road. We of course want it to be compatible with DYE grips like the Iframes but when you put the two together this is what you get below. Please eyeball this and make your suggestions for what we should do. If we move the bottom of the frame down with the grip the distance to the trigger is too large. If we leave it where it is you have to cut the grip up in stupid ways and it w... -

Prototype ULE Gun Body II
AO R&D Team, We are back on the aluminum replacement bodies for standard mags. We were attempting in a previous post several months back to come up with and economical carved looking body but the economy part does not seem doable right now. We are trying to take a small step and just replace the stainless body with aluminum so we can get cool colors. The issue with this replacement aluminum body is that it is very thin and does not allow much in the way of style treatments. With that in mind we ar... -

Prototype ULE Gun Body
New Proto Gun Body Need Your Design Help! AO Design Team, Once again I turn to your collective knowledge to help us make a killer looking gun. For the new guys I have to make it clear that THIS IS A PROTOTYPE!! It is not meant to look great but give an idea of which direction to go. Any comments should include suggestions on improvements. The proto body shown here is made from plastic so it's easy for us to machine. The final version will be aluminum so you can have it in any color you... -
ACE (Anti Chop Eye)
My Team, Here is a sneak preview of where we are at with the ACE system. This is very close to what it will look like except with pro PC boards (we made these ourselves). AGD Interface to the power supply in top of grip frame. The black thing sticking up from the PC board is the eye. The blue pot is the sensitivity adjustment. This is the pocket it sits in under the mainbody. Here is is shown mounted in position. You adjust the sensitivity with the module removed. You can see t... -

by BunnyAO, After more testing and observation of first time users, we have decided that short stroking the trigger is only likely to happen when you fan or walk the trigger. When used for single shots it works great. We added more reactivity into proto "C" but the trigger ran away easily so we are going to make the version everyone has tested. The prints are done and the parts are ordered. Depending on the machine shops schedule we could get them in a few weeks. We are pushing to have them by IAO for...

by BunnyULE Trigger, Can You Shoot It Right? Trigger Happy AO'ers, A new issue has become apparent with the lightweight trigger. With lowered reactivity, it is much easier to short stroke the trigger and "chuff" a shot. Virtually everyone that picks the gun up for the first time does this. The problem is that a chuff pushes a ball into the barrel where it sits there and the next shot blows the hell out of it. Now your barrel is dripping with paint. I am particularly worried about this because most peo...

by BunnyImportant Announcement on the ULE Trigger AO, As you know there has been much anticipation for the new ULE Trigger. In the past I have stated that I thought the mod would retrofit into all existing guns. I was wrong. Right now the mod will not retrofit into any valve that has a single oring in the bottom of the on/off assembly. These are usually found in stainless valve RTpros and may be in some other retro valved guns. It will also go into but not work well in standard valves. They...

by BunnyULE Trigger and Y Frame Update and other Stuff All, While I am sitting in the airport coming back from EMR I will give you the latest on the new products. ULE Trigger is still in testing. We have reduced the reactivity but it has a tendency to short stroke when you pick it up and shoot it for the first time. We are debating on the marketing vs tournament rules on this. We are trying a few different things to see if we can cut down the short strokes without upping the reactivity. We are targe...

by BunnySuper Light Mechanical Trigger Update AO, Everyone is talking about foolish ways to modify their triggers to get it lighter since I started researching a lightweight trigger. I have gotten tired of listening to everyone complain that we never get things out so I have shut up about projects that I know for sure you will like. Triggers are a safety issue so against my now sharpened marketing skills I felt it was important to give you an update to shut all this down. Yes we do have a work...
