Laser Frame....

It's all been done before. I've seen a bushmaster with an infra-red eye that would sense when the user's finger passed by, and then triggered the firing sequence in the gun.

Nothing really new. I think I'd be able to pull the trigger faster on an RT'ed gun anyway.

I just got back from a trip to Universal Studios and in the Men in Black gift shop they had a "phazer" gun that did this. It was called the "Air Trigger" It didn't have a vertical laser, but a horizontal one. Actually, it was infrared but same difference (for this). Anyway it didnt fire when in front of it, just close in frint of it. You had to just about touch or touch the back panel withyour finger to make it work. I have been thinking about this for a long time now and I felt kinda stupid playing with an Air Trigger Phazer Light super dooper whatever. It wouldn't fire unless your finger was actually in front of a little IR sensor.

you guys have it all wrong the possibilitys would be endlesss on things you could use my first choice would be a reader eye set up off a revy hooked in with a basic stamp and you would have a e trigger everytime you break the beam it is fired not that complicated and the amount of time it would take to wire in a swith to be safe would be minimal

It was actually a magnetic reed switch. Dan had a magnet concealed in the tip of his glove's index finger, so when he donned the glove and put his trigger finger near the area where the trigger used to be, the reed switch closed and fired the marker. Like an E-mag, but with a different type of sensor.

Actually that's pretty neat. Firing a pb gun via a transmitter of some kind (in this case magnet) in the fore finger of the glove.

the problem is if u shoot like i do, no finger on th trigger

and in a fire fight u dun want to ahve to clear the splatter off ur eye or turn it off clean teh gun turn it on again

Now what would be need would be a capacitance switch based trigger, where the trigger is only a sensor on the gripframe and your touch along the ridge activates it. Would be tricky to build though.
