Maybe this post should go under the "The Wrath Of Tom!" thread. LOL...


Glad you tried, sorry it didn't work out, still love Mags and want a Ygrip!!!!

it just sorta worked out that way

seriously though
1/3 the trigger pull
I'll take it
PaaLEASE don't let this one die
backburner. fine. we all have our priorities...
but atleast beta test it(so atleast us AO'ers can get one)

The trigger is going to make it barring any completely unexpected stuff showing up. I am not mad at you guys at all, its just that a 66% improvement is a BIG percentage. You don't see that kind of jump in an evolved market like we have today. The products are just too close. I am disapointed that many will not think much of it.

Yeah but....

1/3 of the pull, i think 1/4 would be much better. Maybe even 2/7, but 1/3 would be just a little too heavy still.
hehe

This last weekend I started complaining about my intelli trigger being too heavy. I thouhg it would be nice to have a lighter trigger but still keep the "popping" sound when you shoot as opposed to the autococker's "metal grinding"

I just went out this past weekend and shot Bad_Knee's backup MiniMag with a classic valve (while my ULE X-Valved Mag is in the shop getting tweaked) and I was pretty impressed with how that thing shot with a classic valve and an intelliframe..I could imagine the AGD Super Trigger and an X-Valve...dang....I think I'm in love..I'd personally rather have that than an X (well..maybe I won't go that far..)...but it sure would be a nice and light setup..

No matter how popullar electros get, there will alwayse be those (like me) who simply cannot put up $1000+ for one. The mechanical crowd who isnt ubber rich shouldnt get left in the dust. there is still a huge amount of mech users out there and i think this product could be a gold mine. there are still more mag/rt/mini users than e/xmags and im sure almost all the mech users would buy this upgrade. please dont let this one sit on the back burner.

Mega Trigger... yay!

/me will have his very own MegaMag X!

AO,





1.The prototype is not ready for production. The parts are small and fragile so we have to figure out a way to make it idiot proof. There is a 99% chance this mod will retrofit to every gun we ever made. Its a two minute parts swap.


2.The bad news is that this is not a front burner project right now. We are dealing with the next batch of xmags that are taking a lot of time.

3.I would estimate the price to be in the sub 100 buck catagory. We will be selling them in the store first so AO gets first crack. No preorders, no winers, if you don't want to be a guinee pig don't buy in the first batch. I am not going to answer any more questions about the mod at this time so don't post endless "yea but's".

4.Lastly I am not as excited about this mod as I was at first. I can shoot this mech gun just as fast and long as my xmag. I do it, as I have always done, by fanning the trigger. I have now been informed that "fanning" is lame and no pro player would be caught dead doing it. I interpret this to mean that the advantage this trigger has, no electronics and high rate of fire, will be dismissed as out of fashion by the paintball community.

1.just make sure it can be used on the classic rt

2.please, bring this baby to the front burner and light the b*tch on fire!

3.i will pay $100 to be a guinee pig right this second

4.i am very excited and dont have an xmag. also with a lighter trigger pull, the kickback of the rt will illiminate the need to fan.

now if you could get an elctro with the rt kickback, sign me up

[dansim]

fanning is the only way i shoot... and if its the onl;y way youve ever done it it obviously means your good at it and aiming iwth it, screw the i fan, and if they call that the pussy way i got the back end of a boomstick to introduce to them

[Cypres0099]

I think once people feel how much lighter 1/3 actually is, they'll be very impressed.

I know I am already.

Tom don't give up on it, this will take care long standing complaint about Mags. In time this will likely be a big seller...

[Duke Henry]

I am curious to hear how this prototype would compare to an Intelliframe. Tom said it would be 1/3 the pull of the stock trigger, but everyone knows there is a bit of difference between the trigger pull of a complete stock classic mag and an RT Pro with intelliframe.

So, will this have a lighter trigger pull than an intelliframe? That is the question for me!

Interesting news, for sure.

[cphilip]

...in my opinion its a winner and worth doing it...

However was we all know there will be a certain crowd of say 200 people want it. I am one of them.

[Load SM5]

I liked it and plan on dropping it in the SFL for those "I feel like playing mechanical" days.
