    Trying to do something a little different with a warp.

    I'd like to hook to hook up something like the intelifeed but the catch is I want the warp to spin before the gun fires. The issue is that after shooting sideways for a long burst I have to reprime the warp. I'm thinking I'd like the warp to spin with only about .5lbs on the trigger so I can just rest my finger and spin the warp. The problem is I havn't thought of a good way of doing this that doesn't stop the trigger from moving far enough to fire the gun.

    Just a thought

    maybe put one of those pressure switches (like the type used to turn on laser sights/flashlights on real guns)on the grip somewhere so you could squeeze it to prime the warp and release it when it was done. I don't know where you might get one, or how to hook it up, but its an idea.

      Blenn......that's a good idea! An interesting thing for all the hacks to figure out. ShinyGuy......keep us posted!

        perhaps a switch setup like the one on the triggernomics rt-enhansor, except bent a bit further forward so it would activate soonter. or if you have an intelli-frame you could just bend the arm on the switch a bit so it would activate sooner.

          It can work...

          I had a sub-miniture switch in the Eclipse Frame on my old EvoX. The switch was set to start the warp in the first portion of the trigger pull, before the shot.

            But with trigger play on these electros these days being really short wouldn't it be more practical to have a sensor on the handle? When there's "no play to play with," I imagine that setting a sensor to activate "early" on the trigger pull when there really is no pull would be moot. Easier to just tighten your grip to activate the feed.

              I don't understand something...

              You already have a "priming" switch. The little button on the warp feed next to where the intellifeed wire hooks into it.

              If you would prefer it on your marker I would look into the thumb switches used for pistol mounted lights/lasers as recommended.

              You could simply remove the existing switch, wire in the new switch and mount it to your marker frame.

                I want something that I can trigger with my right hand. I've tried thumb and pinky switches for laser sights on firearms and I just don't think it would feel right. The problem I've had with most switch-inside-the-frame setups is that I hit the limit of the microswitch travel before the mag fires. Just thought of milling the back part of the trigger (where it engages the safety) into a cam to activate, but not over-travel, a microswitch. I'll keep you posted.
