Walking/fanning the trigger

[PsychoBaller]

Still waiting ......

for a Timmy63 Blade Trigger... but in any case....

I was fooling around with the magnets about a week ago... my SFL trigger is rediculously light and speedy....

Fanning is what I used to do with my RT.... but the SFL trigger is sick.. Walking is nice.... specially in a park full of pedestrians... with geese and babys in carraiges... and.... errr. sorry... off topic...

You can fan mechanical triggers... quite easy too... I've properly fanned tippmanns, spyders, and intelliframed mags.

with a tippmann you shoulder the gun like you normall would, but stick the tank on top of the area between your shoulder and elbow. Stick your middle finger inside the trigger guard and just pull back and forth as fast as you can, since the tippmann trigger guard is so small your finger barely moves and you can fire around 7-8-9 bps with a stock tippmann.

with a spyder you do the same as the tippmann except put your finger towards the bottom of the trigger.

with a mag you can just hold your gun normally and instead of holding the trigger frame, stick your middle trigger inside the trigger guard and simply go back and forth.

***Warning : Closed Bolt Mechanical Markers Can Not Be Fanned***

This includes all autocockers and pumps

Yes I have seen some guy try to fan his pump and pump it trying to auto-trigger it, and I've seen guys try to fan hinge cockers... even slide trigger cockers.

I've actually fanned a slide trigger stock cocker and got around 7-8-9 bps :)

n00b doesnt necessarily mean length playing....knowledge also plays a roll.

yea, um you can fan a cocker, ive done it, and quite easily. apparently people dont know how to do it? i do the midle finger feature on a cocker and it works just fine. both slider and hinge triggers

[RetroEclipseMan]

Yeah, Dude my friend TJ used to be able to fan the slide trigger of his cocker like it was nothing. It all depends on how you got the trigger set up, and I tell you that trigger was very short and smoothe. Too bad he sold his whole setup for durt cheap.

I fanned my mag while I had it..
I cant remember if I actually did it in a game or not, you kind of dont make note on how you shoot and focus more on the game.. err... thats how I do it..
Walking, or atleast my experiance with my e-mag, is very hard to master. Sure you can pull off quick bursts but I'm not a very hand/eye coordinated/my reaction time is off/slow..
But yea.. I love the slide triggers, I dont know why..
I hope my brother gives me his cocker when he moves out :)
( he probally wont )

switch the Emag to hybrid mode and walk away. Insanely easy to walk the trigger on hybrid.

Yeah, I've met you guys you know :) Hehe.

Anyway, you CAN fan a mechanical gun, but you are VERY likely to throw your aim off. That was my point.

i can fan with my 2x benchy, its not electronic

another way is to put one finger on the hump in the middle of a 2x trigger and mover your finger up and down

Refer to my above post, BT. Its not about being able to fan, its about being able to maintain accuracy.
