New Trigger Frame For Piranha

[jdw_56]

Are there any besides the Aluminum one PMI makes? I want an aluminum one but not that one...

[MrENT]

i think booyah and centerflag are the only other frame available for the piranha.

correct me if i am wrong

[Mr. Y2K]

yup that's it. although I'm tempted to try and get a dye double trigger (with a cobra stick or somethin) to get on there. I have my theories.

[Tony]

An electronic trigger frame, the same one used on the Pro E (that has'nt come out yet). PMI says that it will be out in late September or October, they couldnt give me a price though.

[PiranhaPro]

So far the only mechanical is the PMI one. Why dont you want it? I love mine...

[jdw_56]

yeah its pretty kewl, allthough I guess I just wanted a frame but the PMI one looks good. A little pricy so I think I'll wait till' somethin happens to my plastic one...

im getting a boo-yah trigger for my g3 sts. would it be worthwhile or not to go low pressure? i use an air america nitro tank with the unireg on a remote system. any advice on whether or not to go LP and any recommendations on parts?

[Saiyan_warrior]

Well If your going to get a boo-yah I would definately recommend getting a 12v revvy.

As for the LP, you'll need some kind of turbo valve and a new regulator such as Palmer Stabilizer, Macdev Gladiator, or AKA sidewinder. And do some modifications if you havent already Like drilling your va, sanding valve pin, trigger job etc.. Or you can just read the Piranha FAQ in the PMI forum :)

[PiranhaPro]

He already has a reg...

All you would need for LP is a turbo valve, shocktech delrin bolt and drilling your VA.

Detailed info can be found about all these things in the Piranha Faq.


If you get a elcd you will need some sort of motorized loader.

[jaguar45]

please excuse my ignorance, but what does VA stand for? i probably know it, just not as that acronym...
is the unireg that comes with the older (2-3 year old) air america 114ci tanks adjustable? i think i know where to adjust it, but im not certain.

[PiranhaPro]

VA stands for vertical adaper. Its the piece you would screw in a forgrip or regulator.

The reg is adjustable, there should be a part at the bottom that turns. Thats how you adjust the reg pressure.

[jdw_56]

whew i finally recieved my VF body and my TKO drop just needed an oring in it to stop its leak. I shot it with blaze and my pro shops paint and both werked pretty good under both slow and rapid fire. Only prob is the gas-thrus o-ring blows like every ten seconds(exaggeration). over all i am happy and i want my CP barrel!

[PiranhaPro]

The oring on your gas through grip blows? That isnt normal...

Take the grip off, look in the VA for metal shavings and dirt.

Do the same for the grip.

Clean it, oil it.

Another problem could be dirty air, where did you get your tank filled at? Do they usually have clean co2?

[jaguar45]

will i really need to drill my VA to go lp? i dont have access to machine tools or the like.

[PiranhaPro]

Yes, if you want to go lower than about 500 psi you need to drill it.

It doesnt take machine tools, just a drill and drill bit. I'm sure one of your friends has a drill somewhere...

[Chandler]

I heard youc ant play tourny's with them. Im gonna check w/ my field where i will be playin most of my tournys but i dont understand why you wouldnt be able to. They have tournement locks right. If you cant use the boo yaah what about hyper frame ?

[Saiyan_warrior]

Well from what i know you can use boo-yahs in tourneys as long as there in tournment mode, which is semi auto i think. I've used both boo-yah and hyperframe recently and i love the hyperframe, so thats what im planning on getting. The boo-yahs look a little better, but i would pay more for quality for the hyperframe.

[PiranhaPro]

Muhahahahaha! I told you the Hyperframe was better....but noooooo dont believe PiranhaPro till you try it yourself...I see how it is;) When you gonna learn to trust me?:)

Anyway, yes, they are tourney legal. You need tools to change the mode. Unless you are playing in the Nppl next year, you will be fine. (Nppl will require semi only boards next year)

[Saiyan_warrior]

Yeh yeh I know I should have listened to you:rolleyes: :D

Is there any kind of dye grips for the hyperframe?

[PiranhaPro]

As of right now, no.

Centerflag will be at the Tippmann World Challenge in Spetember, I'll talk to Dennis about making some rubber grips for the hyperframe sometime soon.

[jdw_56]

how am i suppose to know if the CO2 is clean? i can't like, look at it.....anyway, yah the gas-thru chomps thru them like mofo. and i usually lose then one from the drop so i will have lots a dough goin towards o-rings now:mad:

[Person]

I had a bad V/A (vertical adapter) And my foregrip leaked maybe yers is bad or maybe your foregrip is ask John from pmi whats wrong Hel know
