Manufacturer DescriptionSubscribe to Reviews on this Product - Edit this Product Listing
The FANG Trigger is the highest quality, best feeling trigger available for Tippmann 98's, 98 Customs, and the new 98 Custom Pro E's.

The trigger has been designed to work on all models of Tippmann 98's from the old to the new.

The Fang will work on all mechanical 98's as well as the electronic models.

When designing the Fang our goal was to:

1. Make a trigger that works on all 98's.

2. One that would make the 98's trigger pull as smooth and fast as any Angel, Timmy, or Shocker.

As with all of our products, this trigger was designed to be the highest performing trigger on the market. We feel confident that we achieved that goal because the Fang is the smoothest, fastest, best feeling, and sexiest Tippmann 98 trigger available.

The Fang triggers are three point adjustable, and allow for the shortest trigger pull possible. Walking the trigger will be easier than ever before.

No other Tippmann 98 trigger offers this level of control or adjustability.

You will be able to fine tune your mechanical and electronic trigger pull to be shorter than you ever thought possible.
Product Availability 
The TechT Fang Trigger is newer, so it should be commonly available, both new and used.

Tippmann Double Trigger
Marker Setup: Tippman 98 Custom, Tippman E-Bolt, Low Pressure Kit, Palmers Stabilizer Male reg,
TechT Fang Trigger with magnetic mod and several other mods.
Strengths: Metal, crafting quality, great looks, 2 colours availlable, adjustable

Review: I got 2 Fang triggers for my two Tippmann 98C. one is electric (E-Bolt) and one is mecanic.

First the mecanic one:
The silver coloured Fang Trigger looks awesome on a black Tippmann 98 Custom!
The Fang Trigger works very well on my T98 (newer Version). I can achieve high fire rates and never feeled like I would need a response trigger. I had to do some milling and drilling before that was the case. The Trigger had a too small hole diameter at the big hole that limits the trigger movement. Therefore it could not release the sear. I wanted to tune the mech trigger anyway and drilled it out untill it worked. This problem may also been caused by the high tolerances that Tippmanns normally have. There are some sharp edges on the fang Trigger which cause the Trigger to move tight. I milled some of them only a little bit and achieved perfect smooth movement. The Fang Trigger is not slippery like the original Tippmann Triggers but this is also a reason of the tolerances in the marker case and not so much caused by the triggers itself.
I used a washer on one of the pins and got almost 0% clearance (make sure the washer does not interfere with the hammer or hammer seal). This is something that you should try out yourself and sometimes it is better if a mechanic marker has some clearances.

Another thing that I am not very happy about is that Tech-T did not drill a hole for the second trigger return slide dowel pin (the small pins that are installed inside the original Tippmann trigger, I use the same term as you can find in the Tippmann manual Item Nr. 98-18 , 98-19 on newer Manuals).

In the mechanic Tippmann the lower slider pin actually serves as a bearing for the slider and makes it smooth-moving. The slider is pushed forward by the sear if you cock your marker not releasing the trigger. After releasing the trigger you can hear a "klick" that is caused by the trigger return slide moving back to its original position. Your Tippmann is always operating in this way because you cannot release the trigger before the sear locks the hammer. The slider movement is not as smoth with the Fang Trigger and what I don't like on my mech marker is something moving stiff. The pair of a small, spring loaded steel surface moving on anodized alloy is rather bad. So far my mech Tippmann with the Fang trigger works fine but I am planning to drill a hole that let me install the second dowel pin and get rid of that stiffy moving return slider.

The Fang trigger receives a 7,5 Rating for mech application.



The Fang Trigger on electric T98C:

This is the reference trigger for electrified Tippmanns. There was no milling necessary to make it move smooth. May be my older Tippmann has different clearances in the case. The Fang trigger is produced under very close tolerances in comparisation to the Tippmann die cast marker shells.
Since the trigger return slide is not moving in the electric Tippmanns (older and newer versions) there is no problem with the missing dowel pin in this application.
The Fang feels perfect for "walking" and can be tuned to the same movement that your microswitch has. Everyone who triggered my Tippmann is impressed about the Trigger.

I give the Fang trigger a 10 rating for electric T98C application.


For both triggers:

the adjusting options are nice but I dont like to stick this small pins or set screws into my marker especially into the power tube. This is not a good solution because it may damage your marker. You have to use locktite to prevent the set screws coming loose. I prefferred to tune the Trigger using nylon screws and changed the spring to a magnetic return.
Tech-T now offers a set of different pins for Trigger tuning which is a very clean way to get the best out of this well crafted trigger without messing around with setscrews which can come loose and/or damage your marker.

Very sad that they do not offer any kind of trigger guard. I had to purchase a crappy Tippmann Double Trigger because of that so the price is Fang Trigger + Tippmann trigger.


Rating: (7,5+10) / 2=8,75 >>>> 9 Points


PS: Sorry for my English. I try my best.
Conclusion: I recommend this trigger as the best for Tippmann 98 with E-Kit (E-Bolt or Sear Tipper). It is durable and perfect for "walking" e-markers. In mech markers it still needs some tuning but everyone who want to tune a Tippmann should have some craftmann skills. The Fang Trigger is the best starting basis to do a trigger job on mech Tippmans for people like me who don't like the Response Trigger.


I will upload pictures soon.

Products Used:
Stock Custom Pro double trigger
Marker Setup: Custom Pro
E-Trigger with WAS Board
Shocktech Drop Forward
CP on/off ASA
Expansion Chamber
Empire 4 Piece Barrel Kit
Strengths: All Metal Construction, Very well made, Good Looks, Nice feel
Weaknesses: Adjustment screws that screw out with use without loctite.
Review: I hated the stock Tippmann double trigger because of the sloppy side to side motion and the contoured for two fingers trigger. I went looking for a all metal trigger and found the Fang trigger. The price was very reasonable compared to similar triggers. I was pleasently suprised at the quality of the trigger when recieved. I noticed the 2 set adjustment screws, the bottom one was useless to me so I just took it out. The top one actually strikes the e-trigger. After the first use I noticed how it moved inward on its own and was sticking. A little bit of blue loctite fixed that and its been good ever since. I used it at first with my stock Custom Pro then upgraded to the e-trigger. It worked excellent stock and really shined with the e-trigger. I think the pull is right on and love it. It also got rid of the slop of the stock trigger. I highly recommend this as a great upgrade to any tippmann.
Conclusion: I highly recommend this product because of the quality of workmanship and how well it works with my gun. They should include a recommendation on using loctite on the little set screws since they can easily be lost if they come out. Plus it isn't a weak plastic trigger.

Review: This trigger is crazy good!! It looks awesome and helps your 98C shoot A LOT faster! Works really well with the cyclone feed system. Haven't run into any problems, even using the pen spring mod, it doesn't feel weird. If your tired of the stock single trigger pick up this beast.
Conclusion: If you want a double trigger, go with with this one.

Strengths: Imo very comfortable and adjustable.
Weaknesses: $35 For a trigger is a little high but not too much.
Review: i bought this trigger because i was feeling spendy. i put it on when i got here and it was very light, very comfortable, and it matched the flat black i painted my 98. this trigger reminds me of the UL frame trigger but feel the fang trigger may be slightly more comfortable. im keeping my tippy mechanical so i cant tell you what its like on an egrip but i feel this may help even without electronics.
Conclusion: Very good product, comfortable, sexy, and light.

All kinds of expensive speedball guns with electronic triggers.

14" J&J Ceramic Barrel
E-Grip w/ WAS Board
Expansion Chamber
Smart Parts Grips
Psycho Ballistic Drop Forward w/ ON/OFF
Tech T Fang Trigger(w/pen spring)
Strengths: Sturdy
Wide range of adjustment
Best trigger out there for e grips
Weaknesses: None, except for that screw that makes no sense
Review: I just got this trigger and my e grip today. Took about 10 minutes to install both. The trigger is super sturdy, dead on and doesn't wobble. As i said before the screw closest to the bottom was useless for me. I suggest putting loctite on the center one(the one that actually touches the solenoid on an e grip). The very top one i never tinkered with. I just kind of screwed it in there. There trigger has a very light light light light pull. I recently did the pen spring thingy and that may be why it's so light. So i never got to test it with the stock tippmann spring. So i can bias an opinion on that. With my e grip on semi auto i have the trigger set to where you can damn near blow on it to set it off. My ROF is limited at 30 BPS which is obviously what the gun maxes out at, i definitely don't think i've come close to that on semi auto, i may have been somewhere along the lines of twenty. If you have an e grip turn your debounce down to .10ms it really goes alot faster. I've shot a hella lot of speedball guns and this trigger is just as light as all of them, no sense in buying a 500$ gun when you can easily upgrage you 98 like this.
Conclusion: If you have an e grip then definitely for sure get this, it's well made, cool looking and super effecient

Way better than any other double trigger for a Tippmann

Kinda hard to find
Review: I got a Custom Pro and it came with a double trigger pre-installed and it SUCKED! The thing was loose, thick, and looked bad. I love this trigger. The only bad thing I can say is that for me, The stock trigger works a lot better with RT. I got my RT after I got this trigger. DON'T GET THIS WITH RT!!!
Conclusion: Get it! It looks great and works great.

Weaknesses: A bit heavier of a trigger pull
Doesnt go so good for electronic 98's
Review: Its a good trigger for response triggers or just plain mechanical ones. The fact that it adjustable in 3 different ways is cool. I dont think I like this trigger too much but thats just me. This is a nice trigger but i wouldnt recommend to E Grip users. When you install this trigger it feels light but when you put the spring on it feels alot heavier.
Conclusion: I would recommend getting this trigger for response triggers of mechanical but if ur using an e grip then i think you should go with the Rufus dawg trigger. I give this a 7 because it didnt really work too well for me.
