I just came up with an Ingenious Idea.

[Arstron]

if yer gonna go that far, why not have them connected to your marker so that if the eyes don't detect a ball, or they detect a break, then you stop shooting. maybe even give you a little electric shock to let you know. i guess they would have to be connected wirelessly tho unless you want cables comin out of your arm, but if thats the case then you mite have problem with people "hacking" your arm lol

Forget the wireless, just use a plug and play system like the intellifeed! Have a little plug in your wrist and a small wire coming out of the trigger frame and you are set!

I wonder... you know the term "muscle memory"...

I wonder if you actually did shock your finger muscles into contracting and retracting, really fast, if you would increase your finger speed just by sitting there shocking yourself.

yea, i was considering that too, but then you'd get into all sorts of trouble if you like... dropped your marker or something hahahah

Something more effective woule be to come up with a small plastic/metal device that would help people actually improve the speed of their fingers through excercising certain muscles.

you mean something like this:

Playing bass guitar works wonders.

Yea something like that!

Actually how fast can human fingers twitch in the distance needed to click a micro switch. If you got the fingers moving too fast there could be some dwell issues and the fingers would not twitch forward far enough to pull the trigger before they are told to go back again.

you people...need serious medication.

[RRfireblade]

Your talking about fast twitch muscle tissue required for trigger speed. You can develop finger strength quite easily but speed....you pretty much have it or you don't.

Nowadays you don't need either regardless , you can either ramp , bounce or outright cheat. Until you get to the higher divisions of tourny ball know one really checks anyway. It's opened up cheating to a WHOLE new level. Half the kids on the fields I go to are shooting at the speed of their loaders , BIG RED is a joke for checking ROF and the there's no possible way to verify on the feild anyway.

Anyway....

[slateman]

except it wouldnt fit on my recently broken trigger finger:



I haven't been able to walk a trigger for about a week now - or go paintballing or anything too physical. at least it doesnt hurt much at all

Bro, you have another hand. Perfect chance to get better with it. At worst you're playing slightly above the pump level.

I like the idea. Is it just for working out? Or could it be like the excersize bike that atheletes use to keep warmed up and not cramp up?

[Pyroboy597]

I guess it is kind of pointless trying to work on speed.. I mean gosh all I have to do is hold the trigger and turn on my gun, then press it till the button turns purple, hold it for 2 seconds and then fire 5 times, then restart my gun and I can ramp ramp ramp away!
