Fast tapping of trigger like paintball?

[What Just Happened?]

Why then does the video description say:
"who needs ramping "

Some people can do that without ramping. They're the people who have put in the time and effort train their fingers to move that fast. They're also the one's who complain when the paintball leagues (NPPL, i think) allow ramping modes.

The stock trigger pull weight on a Spyder (A really entry-level electronic paintball marker. Think the RIA for 1911's.) is 250 grams. And it is very common for people to switch out for a 25 or 50 gram switch.

50 grams = 0.1 pound

Yeah, that'd be a dangerous trigger weight on a firearm with recoil. You'd probably end up bumpfiring on accident.

no its actually not....that marker was set on ramp mode. ramp mode is when you keep a steady rate of trigger pulls, for example 17 balls per second, the faster the gun will shoot. so it ramps higher and higher the longer you can keep up the pull.

I beg to differ... look at his fingers and surrounding movement. Its FF no doubt.

Trigger? More like an air actuator. Add a full set of fire control parts then see if it'll work...

ahh.. this brings me back to my days with the mamba IR3. damn thing was so advanced, you could actually E-Send fire control settings between two individual paintball markers.

i used a halo B on it and easily achieved upwards of 26bps


anyone remember the NPPL robot? roflmao

The light trigger pull would be nice on a real firearm, but like it's been said, that probably wouldn't be legal.

Umm, is there a legal minimum for trigger pull? I don't recall this being an issue.

I believe it is more a matter of safety.

One shot per pull of the trigger, that's all that is mandated by the law.. I don't belive trigger weight is legislated.

Remember the "2x Doubler" mod for Minis and other double sear setups (AK/M1 Garand, etc)

Basically the 2x doubler would spread the disconnector just far enough to allow the hammer to slip off on pull AND release... SO you'd get 2 shots per trigger pull cycle...

When you pulled the trigger it would go boom and then catch the hammer, then when you let off the trigger it would go boom again and catch the hammer.... 1 shot per cycle of the trigger, 100% legal but probably not too safe (forget its there and shoot someone letting off the trigger lol )

There is also an ATF letter stating that it is legal. IIRC you used a tooth pick.

I still say that first vid is sped up. The movements are to fast and jerky. It could just be the video quality, the speed sounds reasonable but tinny. I don't think the alias is ramping, just bouncy. The ego's on uncapped ramp, and damn fast.
I think the kind of platform that would really benefit from this would something like a 1919. Supposing a guy had preban links with the tripod and spade grip with and E-trigger set up on one of them you could melt barrels just as fast as the real thing!
