Laser Frame....

[BenD]

Could they make a frame with a laser beam that dropped down from below, and when your figer crossed the beam it fired....


That would be soo cool,

IMO

First off, a trigger has to be a moving part. And it could be a safety concern, because anything could trigger it.

I was thinking about something too......
have a small sensor transfer a beam in the frame, have a trigger, just have to disrupt this beam, it would need to hardly move, to disrupt the switch, and cause it to fire, but the safty would be something else though, it woudl have to be an electric safty switch, and be enginered for an electronic gun, liek for an Impulse, or a new frame or an EMag, that would connect to the board already in the mechanics of the gun, like another boardthat sends a signal to the board already in the gun to fire, get it? Oh great.......

thats exactly what the trigger on the ir3 is. these ideas have been discussed. about 10-20 times each.


not to be mean or anything but you could have found lots and lots of info on this by doing a very simple search.

no i mean laser ONLY....ONLY. not a trigger that trips a laser, a laser that your finger trips....

BenD,
Your idea is fesible, but also very impractical.

As FordPrefect said, this could present a major safety hazard, as it could be easily discharged if ANYTHING disrupted the beam. Just imagine, a speck of paint, dirt, whatever...covers the emitter, severing the beam. If the marker is set to full auto, it would then continue to fire nonstop until the lens(etc) has been completely cleaned. Even on semi auto, burst, etc, the marker would still discharge, presenting a safety risk.

Also, as most fields require the movement of a mechanical trigger for every shot, this wouldn't be allowed in most places, or in any tournament.

Darn, no wonder they said no switch no bouce no wear in there add for the IR3.. sorry, i dont really look at angels that much, oops, sorry

bend: thats why i said "these" applying to multiple things. i myself have posted the exact same thing as you. this has been discussed in great detail. you should thouroughly read a post before replying..... o and do a search

tastepaint: thats ok. honest mistake. i've done the same thing. its all part of the learning experience

What about something like a sequence of lasers and a motion sensor at the back of the frame as well as a another safety on the back of the grip?

Have it so that all three have to be activated before the gun would fire.

Or of course, I could be really stupid and this idea is the worst thing that ever came to my mind... (It's 1:17am here. Sleep deprevation)

Oh well. Here's a little visual aid I whipped up in about thirty seconds.

[Shirow]

what would be the point?

[FordPrefect]

There would still be no moving part.

ironic, isn't it yeathatsme?

seems just like yesterday.....

[confedman75]

wow youd be screwed when you take a shot there. "watch out run away gun!!!"

[toymyster]

Guys, I hate to point out the obvious, but that is how the E-mag trigger works!! You are disrupthing a magnetic field when pulling the trigger, since it's a magnetic field, it's called a Hall effect!!! The effect is the same as an optical, laser, or infra-red sensor!!! Safer and more reliable too!!
