Are doubble finger triggers made wrong???

[magman007]

OK, first off lets start with a standard 2x trigger. Both of the "groves" are about the same thickness, some times the bottom one is thinner. Now to me, this makes no sence what so ever. First off, you are doing the majority of the pull with your top finger, and the bottom one is just guiding, and offering a bit more leverage right? What about when you walk or pianno a regular 2x trigger? it takes longer for the bottom finger to actuate the firing sequence because it has further to travel, does it not? So, technically, this should account for a very minimal drop in ROF.


So i ask you, why isnt it reversed? why isnt the top part thinner and the bottom grive thicker? why arent they made so that both fingers travel the same distance??? please add your comments

[sniper1rfa]

this would do nothing. the thickness of the trigger isnt what decides hoe far it needs to go. the only reason the bottom goes farther is because it is out farther on the lever.

[magman007]

yes, but if your bottom stuck out further, then your trigger would stick out further, then your finger would stick out further, amking it so that both fingers traveled asbout the same distance , or it would feel like it

trigger

my bottom finger pulls harder than my top finger when i am firing fast. i pull with both but the bottom one has the tendancy to pull harder. the bottom finger has more leverage as does the bottom part of the trigger. on my trigger the bottom part is noticably lighter than the top.
if the trigger was thinner in the part that your finger rides on it would be a comfort issue. more or less ergonomical and easier to sqweeze. the pull would not be affected. so the performance would be the same as the trigger moves the same amount.

The only way a double trigger would move the same amount top and bottom would be if the trigger slid on a rail or sleeve. As long as the trigger has a hinge point, the top will move less than the bottom.

Kind of like non-hinge double cocker triggers.

athomas is right, You would never achieve anything from thickening the trigger, as the pivot point is higher than the top finger, the trigger pull will be shorter at the top finger, the bottom finger will always be longer weather or not you put 1mm or 10mm on the trigger.

change the pivot point or move the top of the trigger out more making the top longer and have the bottom of the trigger going the same direction along the body and then both would be longer but equal pulls, i think

[zach rumchak]

well i dont know if i am the only one but i like shooting one finger on the bottom groove it seems lightest and fastest

[MeLoveMagsLongTime]

How about putting the pivot behind the "hump" between the finger grooves? I imagine one could achieve a very high ROF walking a trigger like this. Also, would it be a legal trigger? Technically you would have to pull the trigger once for every shot, but would it be considered as having 2 triggers...


ooops, saw this in another thread after writing it... but, I still have a question anyway. Could a setup like this utilize only one Hall Effect sensor on an emag?

I pull harder with my bottom finger. Even when I shoot a single trigger frame I pull with my middle finger.

What thread was that? I just thought of the same thing right before I read your post. I wonder if that would be tourney legal...

or u could have a normal 1x trigger, then a second 1x on it's own hinge identical to the top. then they would travel the same, but that'd be two triggers, unless u play the gray on the nppl or whatever rules.

hinge trigger

Hey Guys,
To those of you with the idea to put the pivot point in the center of the trigger as opposed to the top. I've seen it. If you glance over to doc nickel's website he made one for some kind of gun. I don't recall which, it's been so long since I've looked over there. This seems as though it would be very effective if you are the player who enjoys walking/fanning the trigger. On a personal opinion I tend to shoot using my middle finger on the bottom of a double trigger. It's just easier that way (for me anyway) and I don't even put my index finger on the trigger. But I think this falls down to the fact that each person shoots their gun differently so that it matches what anotomically works best for them.
