For Manikes trigger, just look up a few posts. AGD recently showed off a trigger with a wheel in the middle bump to promote stroking as well
As for hoppers - I have one of all of them and got to say the HALO can't be beat, for speed it rules supreme. The EVO is OK, but certainly slower, especially in short burts
The lever in the middle is where I got started but it led me to other things. About six or seven years ago Bill Cockston with the then NPPL in what I think was a knee-jerk reaction, said that center-levered triggers would not be allowed. This was around the time that Smart Parts and others were playing with "turbo-mode" trigger bounce.
Although I've gone around and past that, I feel BC's reaction was arbitrary because it is a stretched interpretation of the semi-only rule. You know how I am about rules, and I look at the purpose behind any rules. The semi-only rule is a safey thing. It would be unsafe to have any marker that tends to fire shots of its own volition, e.g. turbo, double-response, full-auto, burst, etc. But the levered design is still one-pull, one-shot.
If the rule-makers are afraid of ROF then they've already lost the fight. If that's the issue then a cap is going to have to be set. The fact that goggles get weakened after multiple impact might someday give impetus to such a cap (let's keep this hush-hush!).
About the Halo: they seem to get the job done but also seem to have too little ball-capacity, be too expensive and are too heavy. But maybe the speed makes it worthwhile.
The link about the G-force certainly intrigued me, however.
Thanks for the feedback, Beaker.
