I wreckon something like a keyboard button embedded into the back of the frame where the trigger usually seats. Triggers are usually a swinging stick really, always pivoting from the top making an un-even pull (lightly longer at the bottom than the top).

So manybe mounting the switch or actuation device like an Intimidator in the grip frame with a keyboard style button the height of the trigger guard and adjustable by tension at the rear.

Who knows, just stuff to think about! :rolleyes: :)

The IR3, when it was first released, did NOT have an IR trigger. It was named the IR3 because of it's ability to transfer settings from a Palm or from marker to marker via it's IR port (the "3" was placed in the name, because the IR3 was the third generation of Angel to be released). The Mem4 and newer IR3's came equipped with an OptoSwitch optical triggering system in which the trigger breaks a beam of IR light to actuate the firing sequence. The Eblade uses the same system. So, the "IR" in the IR3 was NOT named for the optical trigger. So it basically uses the same system that this guy is describing, except that it uses a trigger to break the beam instead of your hand. So, good idea... just a couple years too late.

Here's one, how about not a beam but an ultra sensitive pad. you know like the one you get on an ipod for the volume? a small strip in the trigger frame with three different contact poins behind that register instead of a pull. It would stop trigger bounce and you could still double tap it withoiut fighting a magnet or spring, and you could simply stoke down the strip to cycle the gun thre times and up the strip and so on!

" look mum I aint dumb!!":cool:

Remember me!

I knew it was a good idea, but I am a joiner and don't know squat about electronics, engineering and mechanics... however I can make a mean table and chairs!! So if you do manage to get this idea going, the very least you could do is make me one for an impuse or e blade! Or you could call it ron's trigger, or as none of this will happen just buy me a pint and in years to come whe this revolutionary trigger changes the face of paintball I can sit there and say "That B####rd nicked my idea!!!"
:cool:
