yano those touch lamps that turns on when you touch it, well wat if you had the touch sensors installed into a trigger so that you would just touch it and it would fire. it would be THE lightest trigger pull. and the thing about this idea is it could probly work if you knew how elctronic boards were put together. the only problem i see in it is it would use alot of battery power. wat do u guys think? -------------

Sounds like a good idea if you can make it work, but i agree battery power would be consumed quickly. Matt ------------- "Those who fear being conquered, are sure of defeat" "The most deadly thing on the battlefield is one well-aimed shot." |

^^thats the thing i wouldnt kno where to start cuz i dont have the education to make a board with that kind of ability. it would have to be done by probly a regular paintball company such as dye or smart parts; i dont think tippmann would put that much research into trying to find out how to make one. -------------

The admins should make the search button a lot bigger than usual so everyone can see it when its mentioned. As fer that idea stiffler, theyre were more nays than yays. ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

It would work very well, but it wouldn't be tourny legal because they
only allow 1 firing point and this would have several hundred.
You wouldn't be able to shoot as fast because there would be no bounce
at all, but then again, that's a good thing.

^^you could just make one giant trigger touch sensor strip so it was tourney legal. instead of a whole bunch of touch sensors in your trigger you could have just one single band running the length of your trigger. -------------

smart parts takes everyone to court, that patent is only for selling the trigger, it says nothing about making it on your own  ------------- You dont need a $1500 marker to be the best. ------- -Tippmann 98 Custom -32 Degrees quiet riot 14" barrel -BT double trigger kit -Tippmann expansion chamber -32 Degrees flame drop forward |

| It wouldn't be tourny legal due to it not having a moving trigger. |
