Hey All,
Further to some discussions a while back about what tourny players want in a trigger I came up with a new design of trigger system. It's a drop in replacement for the stock trigger which CAN allow you to have ONLY electronic mode and manual. In this prototype the trigger is still adjustable for firing point but not for travel (you can adjust the magnet).
With another replacement part (or modification to stock part) for the trigger system we could make the trigger travel adjustable and be able to tune in hybrid mode if people want it... I think I still need to make a prototype to prove that to myself
but I am fairly sure. So you could have electro, manual, or hybrid all off the selector switch WITHOUT having to turn your gun on or off or mess with any other switch...
This version in the photo's is a prototype (codenamed 'TT' for obvious reasons, to me anyway) and will look a bit different (read better ) when in production and has my design version of what I call 'speed bumps' This allows the same thing as Odyssey's trigger where you can rub your finger over the humps up and down to get the gun to fire... only I have two bumps... = two shots on way down and two shots on way up if done just right. 
I can max out pretty much any ROF I want to this way (I've done versions with more bumps also). The really clever thing about how Chris from Odyssey fires his gun is the way he holds it to fire it, with his finger pointing back towards himself. But you need long fingers and it's not that comfortable for me personally.
With mine you can hold it normally and due to intentionally built in slop run your finger up and down along the guard (I've also built them with guide bars or trigger guards... ) to get the firing action easily.
The trigger is very heavily radiused and polished smooth for ease of firing. It's actually also designed to be fast for the conventional type of firing by walking the trigger by easily letting your finger slide off the side.
If you don't want the 'TT'(tm) version with 'speed bumps' (tm) I will look to do other designs, I have a 3 bump design, as well as a semi blade version with one very smoothly radiused speed bump in the middle.
Oh and I am also looking to make it so that you can have a spring return for those that want the pull to get heavier as you pull and not lighter as with the current magnet set up. In fact you can make it have a snap release due to the magnets, a weak pull over the firing point and then heavier return with the spring... (how perfect is that? ) This prototype also has an extra adjustable magnet location where I was looking at using magnets to return the trigger, but this would require a frame mod or bolt on piece which I am not too happy with at the moment.
It won't be cheap as there are several machining operations and set ups required to make this. But considering all the features stated (how did I get so many into one trigger I hear you ask ?!?!? ) I think it will be value.
Disclaimer, this is not anything to do with AGD. You can not call them up and order it from them (this was a mistake made in a previous post on Sunday which subsequently got deleted). It is something which I, with the help of some others are looking to get produced somehow .
Ok here's the pics...
