There goes my idea.... Here are a few more: Cut off thumb... Rear-cocking.... Rocket-cock should do it also... And just checking, the cocking-rod is hitting your thumb, because the hammer is well inside the marker... -------------  http://www.angryflower.com/softwa.gif - http://www.angryflower.com/softwa.gif

That doesn't make sense. Unless his thumb is not opposable like most humans (I apologize if he doesn't have an opposable thumb). You have a really tall thumb. Talk to the Tippmann guys and see if they can accomodate you. They want happy customers, so who knows, they may get you a free upgrade. ------------- Who loves the chocolate?

Paintball Markers don't have hammers, hamers are only on firearms, they slamm down on the percussion cap on a cartridge causing it to discharge, Markers only have bolts and cocking nobs. -------------  Join the XP Re-Revolution!

paintball guns do have hammers. it hits a pin on the
back of the valve. or you could go by the logic that the
industry dudes call it a hammer, so it must be one, seeing that
they're the ones who made it and all ------------- As stated in the The darkness song...GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF MY WOMAN MOTHER**edited**ER!!!! |

just take out the cocking knob, and just stick a pencil or stick in the hole to cock it when you need to. it will have the feel of a sealed bolt, and keep the knob wont be there to hit your thumb which makes no sense. -------------
