You agreed with me? You may want to consult a psychiatrist

Gabe... I think the general idea is that in guns that are so lightly sprung that you can get these high rates of fire, that it would be the norm, rather than an exception, to have a gun that has trigger bounce.

The other part of manike's argument was that because of the above statement, and because of the inherrent programming on boards now, that it is pretty damn hard to get a gun to recognize a only true trigger pulls (ie. I pull my finger back against the trigger through a set and distinct distance)... as has been seen and indicated by both drg and manike (and others)... the gun will register any motion against a switch or through the beam as a trigger pull.

I see two ways around this... well actually three...

First, get rid of e-guns and the e-penis affect of BPS all together... which isn't going to happen... It would be like trying to take crack from a junkie.

Second... for micro switch guns, either cap them at 13 bps, or a universally decided humanly possible sustainable rate of fire, by program the board so that it will not fire unless someany seconds have gone by since the last firing event, or spring the micro switch better so that it doesn't go off with a gnats breath.... this mosquito pubic hair thickness trigger pull is the cause of the insane rates of fire... not peoples magically fast fingers.

Third.. for break beam guns... add another beam inside the grip to measure full travel... it has to have both beams exposed to end a firing event... that will ensure, again, that micro travel of a trigger won't set the gun off.

But all of those options require integrity and the desire of gun makers and users to want to have a gun that shoots at a real managable rate of fire that keeps the user in control... and not the gun.

These paintball guns are at this point, probably the only tool, gun, etc that allows the tool to be in full control rather than the operator... in any other sport or industry they would be illegal.
