promotion/cool idea for AGD

[Vegeta]

Wrap your minds around this:

At a tourney, you see a AGD booth, so, you forget everything in your mind and walk over like any sane person would. You see many ppl lined up, and wonder wahts going on. There, on the table, is a mag trigger frame connected to a mag, with no barel, but instead a electronic device on top of it. There is a cable runnign out of it, connected to a computer manned by an AGD staffer. The player is holding this contraption in his/her hand and doing, what looks to you, like tring to pull the trigger as fast as they can.

A AGD Trigger finger speed tester.
Got the idea after seeing Tom post he can shoot up to 12.5 bps. Then I "Air Stroked" to try and see how fast I could.. unsuccessful, for I owuld need computer equipment to meausre it.
This would be easy to program.. just a simple program that reads electronic signals coming from a standard 1 or 2 finger AGD trigger frame. The shooter trys their hardest to pull off the fstes shots they can get withing an amount of time, and the computer graphs their pulls and peak.

Wouldn't that beat all? I mean.. I know AGD could whip up something like that.. possible at the next Skyball.. since that is one HUGE promotion oppourtunity. You would have so many people lined up.. and while they are waiting, they could be looking at new AGD products in the booth!

Cool? Not cool? What?

imo that idea would rock. it would be cool :)

Have to make sure that short strokes don't count as shots...

Man, that would be awesome to see someone trying to rip 15 bps like they say they can... lol, that would be great laughs...

[xmetal2001]

yeah...you could have some kinda contest for fastest trigger finger

[irbodden]

It could also show that an Emag is capable of keeping up with a superduper Angel.

Your forgetting that most chronos can do the same thing, you shoot over them in a long burst and it tells you your speed.

ENDO!

Yes, the only problem is that it can't be used in a booth and wastes paint... This "trigger finger dyno" is a much easier way to see how fast someone can fire... It can also be integrated into a valve dyno so we can see that the mag charges way faster than the angel...

[MajorDamage]

Yeah, I see your point.

ENDO!

Or, if you remeber the post in Deep Blue about hte "Unoficial" reg testing.. well.. how bout a live demonstration. AGD could challenge any gun to a recharge time test on their set up.

If possible, you might not have to intergrate this trigger finger dyno into a valve... the computer could have a build in shootdown/recharge time. So essentially all it would be is an Intelliframe with a serial cable and a few radio shack parts and a program, which Im sure you can get a programmer to do by sprinkling Cheetos around the PC.
The program would automatically add in recharge time to your strokes and compensate. Or it could just be a frame to see who has the fastest stand alone finger, for futeure AGD guns won't haev ANY recharge time.. right Tom? :)

the only problem with this is that those elf worshipers will say that the program is rigged for the mag...

[MajorDamage]

Or that the mag itself is rigged. Did I just blow your mind? lol

ENDO!

you guys forget that you have to do it with air.

what returns the trigger to its starting placement ?

the valve !

this is still a good idea, but it could be done better.

get this

you just make a barrel that goes in the mag with a sensor in the end.

you could just twist and put into the next mag and try again.

click it into a classic mag.
then into an RT.
then into a emag.
single trigger.
double trigger.
and any combo of the above.

you could test all the different types with one device.

its just my 2 cents

[FooTemps]

What would the sensor measure? air bursts? It would count short strokes as shots...

[slushee]

If Tom is watching, this could very well be why he hosts AO! Those are some great ideas. I can definatly see people lining up to 'test' their trigger fingers and live demonstrations of the recharge rates for different guns .. and all the while having AGD 'stuff' lying around for them to buy.. Some great ideas to create marketing opportunities..

[AGD]

Been done already guys, the PACT crono will tell you your time between shots by listening to the gun fire. They brought one to world cup one year and the fastest guy was Lasoya at 13.
