(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   ------------- ^^correct me if im wrong^^ search before you post!

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 ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

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: http://www.warpig.com/paintball/misc/firestorm_crank/ ------------- ^^correct me if im wrong^^ search before you post!

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>> http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=3865128"> ------------- 1 paintball gun package=$150 1 case of paint=$50 air & entry fee=$15 lighting up newbies all day long= Priceless |

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  ------------- ^^correct me if im wrong^^ search before you post!

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... ------------- http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=5504952">
