I was just looking at the post for the laser trigger and I got to thinking. How about a touch screen that runs about 1"1/2" down the grip? you know, just like what they put in laptop. no triger pull at all :D. What do you guys think?

The idea has been thought of, and will probly be in use on markers in the next couple of years.

They DO have it patented.

Either way, it's not tourny legal. The rules say you have to have a trigger that moves.

I certainly do not want a remote marker and the touch pad seems like a skreewy idea to begin with

 This quy i know plays with a lazer meant for pelet guns, but mounts it on his A-5. It has a little touch pad on the trigger, so when you are ready to shoot, you have a beam. Maybe the trigger could be right next to the pad with a tiny pull.

I've got it, some sort of neural uplink, that allows you to fire the
gun with your mind, all you have to do is have some sort of a
node that would be on the inside of the mask, along the
forhead padding that would be able to pick up brain waves,
and you could tune it to any thought, so say I wanted the trigger
though to be "chicken" I tune the nodes to pick up everytime i
think of chicken, and the gun fires. This would also be a great
boon to those who have no hands, as they would be able to
simply strap a paintball gun to their forearm and think away.

Uhhhh... hate to say it, but it has been done...

I saw the picture a while ago... but i dont have a link, or anything...

Basically some guy took 2 markers, and installed them on a homemade remoted controlled car type frame... and it worked...

...

owned....
