Hey guys, I am just sitting here looking at some paintball parts I'm thinking of selling, and it reminded me to ask something. One of my paintball guns is a Tippmann 98. Some of you may know what it is, some may also know about the response trigger. If you don't, here's what it is... when you shoot, the bolt releases and hits a valve releasing CO2/N2 into the barrel, and into the bolt face, sending it back to catch the sear. Now the response trigger siphons off a little bit of that air, and sends it to a piston behind the trigger, which resets the trigger by force. But, since your finger is still pulling, you get another shot. You can accomplish upwards of 15 or so balls (shots) per second like this.
My question is, in a firearm, would this not constitute one shot per pull? You are, after all, engaging the sear every shot. I just though I would ask you gurus out there, and see what the deal is. I wouldn't ever want to try this with the hot gases of a bullet, but I have been wondering about the concept.
Thanks!
