A BIG Trigger Question!!!!!!

[booyah]

I love my mechanical triggers... less to go wrong.

Mech. for me

It's an interesting question. I wish you could give us a little more information though. I guess I would lean towards the mechanical trigger, but without knowing what your REALLY thinking, I can 't accurately vote in your poll. Can you give us some more info please?

I would say yes I would buy a light mechincal trigger over a electronic marker for two reasons.

One being I play rec ball and I love playing paintball but I don't want to invest thousand plus dollars into a marker for a reliable electronic marker.

Two sometimes I have long lapses where I won't be able to play paintball due to other oblogations and I'd worry that not using a electronic marker would damage the battery due to it not being used regularly.

PS: Thanks alot Tom I had planned on selling one of my mags and just keeping one for play but now that you have started with questions I'm going to have to keep both around so that I have one to play with and one to experiment with whatever it is you have come up with now.

I'd have to say that it would depend on cost. If the mechanical was less expensive than the electro, def the mech. Otherwise I'd go electronic.

Now, as an upgrade to to my ReTro, I'd choose that over Boo-Yeah or the like...

I'll try to be less vague in my next responses. :)

BTW - I LOVE it when Tom drops bombs on us like this... Can't wait to see what comes out of 'the Labratory of the Evil Dr. Kaye'! I bet it's good!

each with identical performance and price.

[Patron God of Pirates]

With identical performance, I'd go mechanical every time. What exactly are we talking about though?

A mechanical gun with identical performance to an E-Mag in E-Mode, or a mechanical with identical performance to a Shocker. Because frankly, my RTP already out performs Shockers.

oooooo me wants!

[athomas]

If you could get the soft mechanical trigger with the short pull of the electronic trigger then we'd have something.

I like the electronic trigger we have now. I don't like having to rely on a switch to make an electronic actuation. They are known to have contact problems when used in a tough environment that a paintball gun would live in.

[beam]

I would say electronic.

We have entered the world of electronic triggers...even Kingman is making tons of them. We can't go back.

It's all mental.

No question- MECHANICAL.

- no batteries to charge, no worries about wet weather, usually can be fixed easier. Just more reliable over all.

The only problem is that most of the paintball world has been brainwashed into thinking that a gun has to be electro to compete.

like me!!

I still like a nice mech trigger (hinged cockers) but the only reason i would have a mech on my mag (have a hyper now) is for a z grip with RT bounce.

But the electro is what the majority of the market wants and will pay for. Really the only reason cockers still do so well is because they do have a light pull (vs most other mechs) and because they have been around soooo long. If they just hit the market today, there would be very little demand for them. Perhaps there is a way to produce both.....???

[Darkling]

Mechanical all the way! Less to go wrong, more durable, no worry about batteries. The only thing that worries me here is Tom saying that it will be the same price as an electro. If it's like Impy price, that would be great, but like E-Mag or Angel expensive, I dunno about that. Oh well, still sounds good, Tom!

definetly mechanical. A well built mechanical trigger just feels better IMO. A mech trigger gives a more tactile feedback so its easier to get in rythem with it.

if i didnt already own an emag i would get the light mech trigger if its cheaper because im cheap and i like to stick with simple(even though the e is simple)
