(for people that dont like rocking triggers very much)

why couldnt you put a small rubber band on the top part of the rocking trigger so that you could pull the bottom part of the trigger and the top part with the rubber band would recock the trigger so that you could pull it again.
basicly making it a 2 shot burst gun.

please no flaming

yeah but you would need the perfect rubber band. too loose it falls off, too tight, theres no point

plus it would be even less tourney legal

i dont like the idea

well its already not leagel so why not

and i was thinking what if you got one of those firestorm cranks on it then it would be not 4 but 8 shots per turn of the handle.

this is what im talking about:

actually rocking triggers are quite fast, faster than  most triggers.

eh...really their not faster, their just easier...single point triggers still count each finger tap, the rocking trigger also counts each finger tap but its easier to walk because it takes less effort and timing to be consistant(if i spell anything wrong, sorry...i just woke up)

Im sorry to kick up an old thread but yes rocking triggers are legal for tourneys. there is nothing that says no rocking triggers. someone on PBnation has looked it up

one thing most people dont like about the rocking trigger is you have to position your fingers wider than normal...I think in stead of having one trigger that rocks, have two. the one on top swinging from the top. the one on the bottom swinging from the bottom. like this>>

the problem with that is you could pull both triggers at the same time,

unless they had a rucking trigger mechanism built inside of the frame so that if you pulled one the other one couldnt be pulled

cool new idea though

no they are faster than most triggers just because they have extremely small trigger pull. from what i'm talking about isin't the two contact points but it's the fact that they made the pull so small. know what im talking about or was that really hard to understand?

they are also easier but i meant overall speed

my friend just bought an electra. the rocking trigger is amazingly fast and very sensitive. i was dumb enough to put my hand in front of his barrel to take the barrel off and he shot it on accident right into my hand. but i'll tell him to try it. i don't think it has any response or ramping mode so it would sorta work. but you really don't need to. its sooo fast...

ouch!! I did that to myself once. my hand went numb for about 15min... then I was in some real good pain!!

about the new trigger.. go ahead take the idea... anyone (cough.. Tippmann.. cough). I just like seeing my ideas come into reality. I dont care about the money.
