I am still trying to figure out how to shoot with a double trigger.

Some 'friend' said that you have to pull you middle finger and pointer finger at different times.

Is this true, because he usually acts like he knows what he is talking about, but really doesn't most of the time:P

-Thanks

just keep it simple and squeeze the trigger with both your fingers at the same time. squeezing the trigger is better accuracy wise rather than jerkin the gun around by pullin it.

kinda sounds nasty if u read it fast :laugh: :D

Shoot it like you do with a single trigger, just use two fingers.

u do pull the trigger once with your index finger and then as soon as u let go with your index finger u pull the trigger with your middle finger and repeat as fast as u can.
It may be hard at first i know i had trouble
I u chop alot of paint because u r fireing so fast make sure u buy a VL revolution hopper to solve that.
With a double trigger and a little practice u will be able to shoot around 10 balls a second ( after about a month of practice)
now go practice!

The trigger is one piece, it makes o sense to use two fingers at different times.

About the two fingers at different times, is that walking the trigger? If you move your fingers like you guys were saying, kinda looks like your doing a little "walk" with your fingers.

I always hear people talking about 'walking' the trigger, so that's why I asked.

Walking the trigger, A.K.A. butterflying, is only used on electros because of their sensitive trigger. To butterfly a trigger, you alternate your two fingers shooting top and bottom of the trigger, and can get much faster firing rate out of the marker.

Ahah! That's the information I was looking for. Thanks.

So, can you butterfly on a 98c? Or does it just work for electros?

Nope, only on electros.

Dang!
Oh well, I'll still get the double trigger because it increases your firing.

dont worry, i was asking myself the same question when i got a double trigger. here are some pic to show u how I and my team mates fire. i think it is easy. take off ur trigger gaurd. it allows more room. :)

Specter: the only problem is, no commercial fields allow 'guns without trigger guards. Not a biggie if you play in your back yard, but most people on here play at organized fields.

o i know. i played in an indoor place and they didn't mind, but i know for tourneys and other stuff, its a no no

Taking off the trigger guard is somewhat unsafe too. It's there to keep the trigger from accidentally getting pulled by a pocket of table edge or whatever. I'd just leave it on, it's way safer.

i know, im saying. tho...... it is alot easier to shoot w/o the trigger gaurd. we are more worried about mask safety over anything else. we meaning, us, team sandstorm. when guns are gased, masks are on. i keep my mask on the min i step on the field, and the sec i step in my car to go home, :D

that is mike from County (they are the best!) and there are certain things that can be done to a 98c trigger to make it like an electro, I can butterfly mine

ok this hard to understand but....u use the side of ur middle finger and just hit the trigger as fast as u can with ur middle finger on the "bottom trigger" hold ur gun up tight too.:crazy:

I find that a single trigger works just as well as a double because I usually use just my middle finger anyways.

psycho, some people who do that lose accuracy. I've seen them do that and they move their gun ever so slightly. As for "butterflying" the trigger, one of my teammates who uses an angel, my gun is a single trigger em-1 until i get my lcd, he easily outshoots a stock revvy and i think an x-board keeps up. You can fly that way.
