	Go for a single trigger. Pump + Double Trigger = No No

	If im seeing it right its a pneumatic-assist pump, which would explain the ram and qevs. All the pump does is move a 3-way valve connected to the ram, which cocks the marker. Its give a really short and smooth pump stroke. Really nice by the way.

	So, basically the pump handle is the trigger? That's about as theoretical of a "pump" as I have heard of... But very nice. A Nasty Typhoon is still on my list of stuff to get eventually.

	Not really, it operates just like a regular pump. You push the pump rod backward and it cocks the marker. Then, pull the trigger and it releases the spring driven hammer that opens the valve. Now on an pneumatic-assist pump, the pump is attached to a 3 way valve. This 3 way pushes the ram on the side forward cocking the marker. Then you pull the trigger and it releases the spring driven hammer. The advantage of this is that it give you a really short smooth pump stroke. Also like on a regular pump (not all can do this) is you can auto pump (I think thats the name). Where you hold down the trigger and pump the marker to shoot.
