For All Of You Who Like The Angel Opti Trigger But Have An E-mag...

[magman007]

There is a solution, I was playin arround and takin my trigger when i realized, i dont need the trigger! all i need is to sew a magnet into my glove! needless to say i did and it worked! i still use my trigger, but it is pretty cool. all you gotta do is wave your finger over the hall sensor spot. Its cool!!! it is fun to try, and you dont need your return magnets any more, so swe wm into your glove.

Its against the rules on most fields and tourneys, and the idea has been around for a long time, ever since magnet triggers originated. I think ive heard of a finger triggered emag, bushy, and impulse. Anyhoo, I'd still kill for an emag to try this on

Thats kool bro, you shuold see if ytou can shoot it faster one way or the other

[magman007]

hmmmm, why is that idea illegal, yet the opti trigger is not? that does not register, it is one fire per pull

[HoppysMag]

probibly saftey reasons... cause you could accidentaly shoot or sumthin...

[irbodden]

Its safer, no one can fire with out your glove.

Its still illegal since there is no 'trigger pull' someone from the Wise Guy's started this one of their Bushys.

[magman007]

ok ok, then can some one please explain to my how the angel opti trigger works? and how it is then legal? i would like to kno. also, i agree, it is safer in the hands of others, no one can fre it with uog your glove, and think of how safe the staging area could grow, all you do is take off the glove and it wont fire

[RT_Luver]

I never thought of that, but DUDE....thats awesome. I wanna try

[dansim]

HELLO the opti trigger is still a trigger the removed the micro switch, and replaced that with a infared beam not the whole trigger

[magman007]

OHHHHHHH dont i feel stupid!!!:o sorry, my bad! it speaks of a beam of light, so i thought it was a little beam in which your finger fluttered through, im sorry, i really am! but hey, who says we cant still do my idea? lol

One reason "glove" triggers aren't generally allowed is that you have to be able to let the officials test your marker if they suspect you're using illegal modes or modifications.

Without your glove, the ref can't fire the marker to test it. You could hand over the glove too, but why complicate the rules more than they already are?

Another issue is that passing any magnet near the sensor will fire the marker. You could conceivably accidentally discharge the marker if you tried disassembling it with a magnetized screwdriver, for example...

The idea's been hashed over many times in different forums for almost as long as there have been electronically-triggered markers. It's a cool trick, but not likely to be allowed since it complicates things too much.

[SGT FURY]

why would you disassemble a marker that is still gassed up and as for mags there is no use for a screwdriver on a mag.

kasey

[kemikos]

OK, wiseguy, you got me.

I was just making a point. Any magnet that gets close to the grip frame on the marker could cause it to fire.

And like I said, I've had this discussion with other markers than 'Mags, so a screwdriver could make sense.

Jeez, tough crowd...

[Pand0ra]

Kemikos, the risk is there even if you've still the trigger installed. If you put a magnet close to the sensor, the marker will fire.

I do like the idea of a glove acting as a trigger.
It could be very cool, but I doubt it'll be allowed one day in the NPPL or the Millennium.

[magman007]

well, im glad some people atleast like my idea, now i was thinking, we could even make an opti trigger for an e-mag! same way as the angel, just drill a small hole in the hall sensor stpt, cut the hall sensor off, and wire in an optical sensor like the one on angels, and modify the board a bit!

[AngelBoy]

Its a good idea. You can still use it when ur just messin around with friends.
