Do any paintball guns have a selection lever

bond commander bond · 06-30-2008, 11:24 PM

Do any paintball guns have a selection lever similar to real submachine guns? In other words you could switch between single, three round burst, and full automatic was the flip of a switch.

The only one I have seen was on an old tippmann smg........ and I believe that was custom.

AT85s switch single, safe, and full auto. All mechanically

The new BT-7 does.

My old Spyder Pilot does but you need to trip through the settings using the switch on the back of the frame. Not something you're going to do in a fire fight.

"Not something you're going to do in a fire fight."

That's what I am looking for. I have an a5 and a 98 with RT setups so if i set them low enought to squeze off singles............it would be nice. I also have an ion.........so i hope to create the same setup.

Later versions of the Automag Autoresponse had a selector for 2-shot burst, and semi I think? I remember it was added to make the gun legal at all fields (since you could also remove the lever, fixing it to semi-only if needed)

From my full-auto collection:

Tippmann SMG: No lever, dual stage trigger controls sear. Some users apparently modded guns to use a lever (which presumably just acted as a trigger stop in the "Semi" position?)

Tippmann Factory F/A: 3 position lever - Safe, Semi, Full

AT-85: 3 position lever - Safe, Semi, Full

RAP-5LE: 3 position lever - Safe, Semi, Full

I don't have a Mod85 so I can't say for sure on that one.

I believe the SP-1 also has a select fire switch but I am not positive on that as it's SP, an electro and therefore icky

SP-1s have a button, not a switch. Each press of the button cycles through a mode, so it is possible to do it during a firefight (Only 3 modes; semi, burst, auto), but not as convenient as a switch.
