| Mod-O-Rator  Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Finleyville, PA | its been tried and done before, but never took off for 3 key reasons. 1. Not safe 2. Not comfortable (thats why we don't have computer keyboards that are just projected.. it huts to smack your finger off of a hard surface with no give) 3. No one could get the same speed or mechanical switch noise. Real trigger ergonomics has pre-travel, release, and some travel after the release. This provides for a speedier trigger system, no matter the type of switch. Try it yourself. Get your trigger on an e-gun setup so the point of activation is the furthest point back it can go. Its like hitting a wall in the middle of what should be a fluid motion.

| Banned in 37 States Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Peterborough, ON, Canada | I gotta agree, alot of people would have a problem with a trigger system like that, however if set up right, it would be safe enough, needs to have an interrupt switch so that it is easily turned off, it's safer than some Ion triggers at least... the ones that fire by themselves if you look at them the wrong way. this could be a neat idea if you do things the right way, or a really unsafe one if you do not spend enough time designing it.

| MCB Member  Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Southern Maine | It would not be tourny legal either, but its still a novel approach. I remember years, and years ago, I made an intellifeed for a NON-electro by putting a "touch plate" trigger stop behind the trigger. The entire gun was ground, and the plate was "postive". Both wired to the VL2000 sensor. nick |
