Im not "getting it"

[Guest TankerHC]

I can pull the trigger faster with my trigger finger than with alternating trigger finger and fourth finger. What is the purpose of this? looks to me like a piece of whiz bang junk. But I may be looking wrong, so someone please explain how this would be any improvement at all.

Meh, no interest on my end either, when I'm squeezing the trigger I'm doing so with every intent of hitting my target, not just tossing random rounds in the target's general direction.

Just more leverage to play with, making the trigger maybe a little more to get a better shot off. Don't know, but I won't

be rushing out to get one. Looks like a gimmick to me.

Thing is.....somebody must have figured this out long ago and designed guns with triggers in the right location for our "trigger" fingers. Hmmm...now that brings up another question. Which came first, the trigger finger or the trigger? LOL..go think on that one for a while.

This could work similar to paintball guns, but the trigger pull for both triggers would need to be down around 2 ounces or less. That's the only reason the double trigger works so well with paintball guns. And it doesn't work nearly as well if you try to hold the grip as they're designed.

Exactly as the description says... its an offshoot from paintball guns.  Spray and pray is the norm there.

I miss playing paintball, been a few years and I sold all my stuff. I had one that could shoot 18 balls a second on full auto, but also had semi and 3 round burst modes.
The double trigger rocks back and forth, literally just rock you finger to shoot. I could match full auto with this method, without having to switch modes, and for at least my gun accuracy and reliability did not drop - both fell off when in full auto mode.

For a real firearm, it is a gimmick and I would never consider using it personally.

Next time I purchase a paintball gun to defend my domicile, Ill get one.

Meh. Won't work.

 

I played pro-paintball for a few years back in the UK (Actually, my first visit Stateside was to play paintball...) & the guns we had set up had a trigger upll weight of about 2 oz. The trigger on a paintball gun is more correctly just a switch. They all (well, 99% of 'em) work on tiny microswitches. There's no recoil to worry about, no mechanical friction of a sear & absolutely zero creep or overtravel. Most triggers, when correctly tuned, only move the tiniest fraction of an inch & the only spring pressure is that of the switch itself.
