Have you seen this b4?

2mm you say? wow. Trigger gaurd or not, if you were to drop it, the shock itself would set it off... im suprised more poeple dont have these.

.... I guess don't drop it?
Seriously, it'd take a hair more than that to fire it...The picot frames are well enough sprung that it's not an issue.
and besides........why would you drop your gun?

Re: Some interesting speculation here

Punisher, first, upon re-reading my previous post, it reads even to me, as if I was ripping on your work. That's not how I meant it to sound, and for that I appologize.

To Bill specifically, the trigger pull is about 2mm with the now standard Shocktech 4-way, and yes.......it's butter smooth. Essentially you have electro-gun performance without the battery. Besides.....how the heck do YOU know what it does for the 'gun? Have you shot it?

While I haven't shot that trigger, I have shot one that was extremely close, structurally, so I suspect I have a pretty good concept of how it will feel. :-)
The key difference in feel is that with a sliding spool valve linked to the trigger, instead of the sear, there is no difinitive release point in the trigger pull.

The way the 4 way and a return spring responds vs. the way the definitive click of an electrical switch (and the shorter than 2mm pull that becomes possible) is a bit different. Having also fired a 'mag with an electronic switch on the trigger driving a similar pneumatics set up, I can say I find that to have a nicer feel that is easier to shoot fast.

This is a concept that was considered for production by ProTeam for some time, but abandoned because it was more complex than the solenoid direct to sear that AGD was planning to release. For custom paintguns though, complexity isn't nearly the problem that it is for production paintguns.

Take a look at the low pressure regulator on the Rainmaker. A lot of Rainmaker owners get excited about ditching it in favor of a Rock to be "custom" but it actually works quite well, and is about 1/3 the size of a micro-rock. It's non adjustable, so for your pneumatics only version, it wouldn't be ideal (with gas pressure affecting friction in the 4 way) but for an electro version, it could be quite nice, and easy to mount by milling a flat on the top front of a gas-thru foregrip.

See you on the field,
