I just placed my finger in the right position and it would bounce at an insane rate of fire

Don't think so otherwise RT's wouldn't be tourny legal would they??

No


Simple answer really, but to make it a bit longer. If the trigger bounces it is illegal.......if you pull the trigger it is legal....the rates of fire etc was set to stop the RT intially cos that trigger will bounce if you find that "sweet spot"...all a bit awkward 'cos if you say what constitutes a pull? what is a bounce? but by your own admission it bounces......a rule of thumb would be if you pull the trigger and then the marker seems to go off on a string all on its own it has breached the rules. Solution..... lengthen the trigger pull and turn down the rate of fire, all asummeing that you are using an electro...if you are using a RT or an E-Mag turn down the input pressure (note all E-Mags should be chrono-ed in both electro and normal modes, cos if they are gonna "do things" it is in the normal mode not electro).

ahaaa I C!

Still doesn't really matter, if you do make the trigger pull longer you can still find the sweet spot on the trigger where it will bounce

Not if you lower the pressure, I agree that an RT or E-mag will with a long trigger pull and no input pressure drop will be easier to find the bounce point...but I put the way to avoid it and if you lengthen the trigger pull on a normal electro the point will disappear. Why do you think the markers found recently have all had insanely short trigger pulls have been called as having breached the rules?

All will be solved people

Just to let people know, soon, technology from a certain company will make trigger bounce impossible.......youll just have to wait and see

I was thinking more in terms of an angel then an RT when I said about the longer trigger, can you shorten the RT's trigger pull???

trigger bounce

I posted a similar question on the tech pages and was informed by "Norwegian cocker" ( I think), that the Automag Rt may become illegal in some tournaments.
How true this is I don't know.

oh yeah.....DOH!

even if you set your ROF to 11 you can still get it so it bounces though, I don't believe you can totally eliminate it without board modification.
