      I agree, electros aren't all that high ($1000+), but where do you find that gun for that cheap? Or is it a black dragun or e-spyder ripoff?

        I bet its been done! Probally with an autoresponce..

        TK, or anyone who knows what this is going to be like, I am wondering now, you said 99% of the guns.. does this include e-mags? If so, I will buy one if I have the money at the tiem...
        I mean for manual mode, of corse, I have no desire to shorten the trigger on my e-mode. LOL
        I dont really need it but whatever
        Maybe if I ended up with a backup mag or maybe for my friend (I convinced him to buy a mag )

          If you don't think it will sell to a broad market

          then why spend time and money developing it? The 'mag needs a high-quality, after-maket, AGD-designed, etrigger. No bells, no whistles, no displays or even modes, just a semi with a bps adjustment. The days of mecha--like the twist-lock--are numbered. Two years from now, even the low-end guns will feature a quality etrigger. The purists may be clamoring for a mecha trigger, but the greater market is going e. We can lable market trends as stupid or "hype", but I think the advantages of etriggers are clear.

            No read it again. 1/3 OF the previous pull...

            It was in an Intelliframe and if Tom is saying retrofit my thoughts would be retrofitting Intelliframes here.

            Electo trigger frames Tom has looked into but he was not anywhere near satisfied with what he saw. And put it way back on the back burner.

              one question... is this going to be a whole new trigger frame or is it just goign to be like part(s) that you can attach to your existing intelliframe?

                No, BK0, Bushmaster from ICD. It's the econo version.

                  "Unsatisfied with what he saw"

                  Maybe the Booyah or even the hyperframe, but there are a lot of top-rate etriggers out there now(eblade and racegun come to mind), and they are getting better and better every month. If given the choice between a $100 mecha trigger or a $200 etrigger, its a no-brainer. If the goal is to lighten the pull, then why do you care how its done? An etrigger will lighten it significantly more than a mecha, provide infinate bps and pull adjustability, and prevent short-strokes. A fast, light, and user-friendly trigger-why wouldn't you want that?

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.

                      it definitely is a Big percentage

                        I hope you're not trying to refer to the RaceGun Frame or the Eclipse eBlade...it's more like..between a $100 mech trigger and a $400-500 electro trigger it's not the much of a no brainer.

                          one reason i bought a mag was for the mechanical trigger. it has the best mech trigger i have pulled, blowbacks are horrible, i don't like the feel. i cna't sya much for cockers, but i have a feeling i would short stroke. my Storm Framed Pirahna was grreeat but too touchy, i don't know how many times i would accidently tap the trigger before snap shooting and shoot my bunker once or twice. i could of used thoose two balls to gog my opponent. but a mech trigger this light, MY GOD!!1 i can't wait. i know for sure because it's mech i wouldn't miss fire like the storm frame, but it'd make shooting log stringes easer and at a faster rate. I'm gonna save my pennies and buy me one of these bad boys

                              Some say it's a no brainer that the 200 dollar electro frame is better... Well, I don't... you know why? BECAUSE I CANT AFFORD A 200 DOLLAR GRIP! You've got to consider the poor people here... sheesh.

                                is this 1 of your marketing techniques? i think all of us mech mag users will love you for it (like me )and you can trust my word that this mod will prolly be like the x-valves in my case...buying 1 with in 2 hours of their offical release
