    Rocking Trigger: Should it be Tourney Legal?



    I say no, since it doesn't require a pull and release for each shot. If you simply hold down your middle finger with constant force, and press you index finger down with a force greater than that force each trigger pull, you get 2 shots per pull. Oh yes, you do. It's not like this is some new controversial design. This is an OLD design which has been ruled on, and struck down, time and time again since doc nickel made one on a cocker in 1996. No, the trigger rules haven't changed...in fact, they're MORE strict with bounce now an issue.

          Don't allow it. We don't need kids at rec fields on their second day of playing blind over shooting and the like.

            2 switches = 2 "triggers" = illegal.

              How would you shoot that thing anyway? Walk it?

                yes, except the force pushing one trigger down would reset the other.

                  it has two microswitches it would no way be faster than if you were walking. just makes walking easier on these crapy spyders.

                    I got to shoot one at the nppl HB event, i found could shoot it slightly faster then a normal trigger, but thats just me. As fun as this trigger was, i do not want the rules changed to alow it.

                      can anyone explain to me why that would be any faster than a nromal trigger anyway? seems like you would still just walk it

                        I have never used one, but it looks like you could just put a finger on each trigger and jiggle your wrist to shoot it, which might take a little less time than walking.

                          allow it in the nxl. Anything goes in the nxl...

                          I mean if ramping and cheater boards are so welcomed in paintball, why not a gripframe with 2 switches?

                            two switches = double the electronic noise to cause bounce!

                            its nice someone finally made it into a final product, I believe the one Doc did was on a Shocker or Angel back in the day.

                            making this legal would have to make the Emag's Hybrid legal, since that uses two sources for firing (HES and trigger rod).

                              Make it legal....Let every $150 spyder shoot 30bps!

                              Has paintball evolved to nothing more than who shoots the fastest? If shooting fast does NOT = skill.....than why all the trigger rules? My 2 cents....shooting fast does = skill. And that is lame, fast fingers = good paintball player?

                              If all equipment was equal, than we would have true skill. Is PB tourney's nothing more than who's got the dough?


                              P.S. I enjoy playing against players who use bounce...PB is fun no matter what to me!
