    Posted: 15 November 2005 at 1:03am
I play light gun arcades, and to shoot faster (cheating) I would use both of my index fingers to pull the trigger (a sliding trigger). Both of my hands are wrapped around the grip, and with an index finger on both sides of the trigger, I would pull the trigger with one finger and then as I let go I would pull the trigger with the other finger, and do that rapidly.

I would get carpal tunnel at the end of the session but at least everyone on the screen dies before they get a chance to shoot, and I get on top of the scoreboard every time.

I think they should have some trigger mechanism like this in paintball guns. But they should make the grips comfy for it, because otherwise you'll wear out your hand as I do.

Maybe this has already been done? I'm not sure...

Yeah, the trigger would need to be a sliding one, not a swing. And the grip needs to be ergonomic. And gun weight distribution is another factor.

That's the problem with fantasy and reality, they're not always the same.  The balance of most paintball markers makes this tecnique impractical.  However if you can make it work, more power to you.
