Are Reactive Triggers Tournament Legal or Not?

[MinimagRockin']

I'm curious to what the actual definition of bouncing is, there seems to be a gray area. On my RT I have the pressure set to where I can put some pressure on the trigger and then while keeping this pressure on the trigger all the time just move my finger back and forth slightly resulting in a fast rhythmic string. It's definately not going full auto or "runaway" because I have to actually pull the trigger each time but is this sort of thing still considered bouncing because you are relying on the RT effect to shoot fast? I always thought it was legal as long as you didn't have it set to where you could just put the right amount of pressure on the trigger and it would shoot full auto just by holding the trigger down.

correct but not just full auto, any unintentional fire.

Okay, there has been tons and tons of questions about "RT's" so I am going to clear them up.

First off there are two different "RT's" and they are completely different. the first is the response trigger is made by Tippmann. The response trigger IS NOT LEGAL IN TOURNAMENTS! The response trigger features a little piston behind the tigger and pushes out when pushed on, so once you the pull the tigger the first time you can place your fingers in the right place so that the trigger bounces off your finger and hits the piston tripping the sear automatically, so it's like firing full automatic therefore it is not tournament legal, but it can be turned off making it tournament legal.

The other "RT" is the Reactive Trigger manufactured buy Airgun Designs (the automag people) and they are made exclusievly for automags. All it does is shortens mechanical trigger pull without using electronics. IT IS TOURNAMENT LEGAL. It does not allow you to go fully automatic, it only speeds up your trigger pull.

So,
