I was laying in bed last night, where i noramlly get my ideas, and i though it would be cool to power an electronic trigger frame with a solar panel on the sight rail or something. Do you tinhk i could get enough juice out of that?

What if no brain? Bad idea. Unless you had a solar charger for a rechargeable battery. But then again, who wants to sit in the sun and wait on their gun to recharge??

It would work, if you found a way to massivly increase the output from solar panels... or wanted to mount a massive panel to your back and lug it AND all the recharging equipment around the whole game.... Forget it man, not gonna happen anytime in the near future. Technology just isnt good enough yet.

It has been tought of, and if the solar pannel gets damaged your Effed.  It would take a while for it to charge, and what charge would move the bolt?  It would have to be a large one to move it rappidly enough to move the paintball as fast as our air systems do now.  And even if you could get it to move it would require a large electrical source.

-Not posotive, someone correct me if im wrong.

That could work, just put one of those propellers on your mask

I have a sence of humor too. Just picture a bunch of guys with a propeller on their mask, running arround trying to power their gun.
