E2's can still bounce

If not set up right (or the filters are off)

At Campaign this year i had to set my TREL setting to 35 on my E1 (this won't mean alot to most) to make it not bounce. However by doing this double finger trigger pulling became impossible and ruined any kind of speed i used to be able to get. However i had 1 marshall laughing at how he could only make 1 trigger pull a second unless he fanned the trigger (made us both look like idiots)


Still they are the rules and although i detest what it did to my gun at least it applied to everyone....

However if you've got a cocker try setting your TREL down to like 1 or 2. I found it highly amusing!

Oh before anyone starts its now completely legal again.

who says you need a hair trigger to get bounce?
Alot is to do with activation point, the actual trigger (mass, pivot point etc), and of course the settings of the marker (debounce)

if i took my viking out of competition mode and set debounce to 1, i could get it to bounce even if the pull was over a cm.

it is the old speed but after campaign where it passed every time, i have made the trigger pull shorter and have got a good rate of fire going (15-17 bps regularly) but i just want to know how to check if it is bouncing. i can't make it but that does not mean some marshalls can't i suppose.........

Yadda Yadda Yadda. :p

You're Definately right about having the firing point too close to the actuation timing, and the debounce. All correct.

As for bounce...if the judges dont get it, it's highly unlikely its going to start-up after the judges check it :)

If you're not getting more than one shot per trigger pull, you're fine, stop worrying mate. Try not letting the trigger reset fully, and pull again. If you get two shots, then you're in trouble. Anyone have any techniques on how to have actual trigger moves to check for bounce? Because I cant explain how to check for it. :D

Keep the debounce at a decent number (my mate uses 8 and it works for him: This could be a little off, since I know exactly **** when it comes to Angels :p ) You're trying too hard, maybe make mates with a marshall, and ask him how to test for bounce, I dont know :p Good Luck, but it sounds like shes legal :)
