View Full Version : HOLY §§§§! Trigger Adjustments...

Just a few minutes ago, I made some adjustments to my trigger. I put it into DEMO mode so I could here the clicking, and so I could adjust the trigger how i please (the faster the clicks the better the adjustment was). Now I know that bounce requires air. But I dont have any air and have never aired my gun up. It is new and has a low battery right now cause I have been walking it A LOT. Also the rubber discs were removed stock.
So, I turned the venier wheels a couple of times. Adjusting the trigger. So I decide that it was going pretty fast and i was in an awkward position. I pulled my fingers off the trigger and it kept clicking for approximately 1 second, + or - 15 miliseconds.
I was shooting pretty fast and was wondering what the hell it was because IT KEEPS DOING IT! And it goes REALLY REALLY fast after I pull my fingers off. I don't know why it keeps going clicking (clicking represents shots that are being fired) after I take my fingers off. Could someone please clarify whether something is wrong with my gun or I have a sick trigger adjustment.
Some one please tell me. :notsure:

... i dont have any air... how do you get mechanical bounce without air
what are all the methods. i searched by the way

You're on demo mode, you get insane bounce with it, just turn it to 1 light for trigger bounce and do it that way, and you will hear 1 click for 1 pull. Also, read your manual/search

wouldnt matter is you had air or not i mean with the magnets setup its bounce between them and setting of the trigger all mechanicle no air needed

The strengths of the magnets are different. The large one is supposed to be in the rear, so I am told, however mine stock out of the box was in the front. With the large magnet in the front the trigger is literally nothing but bounce and it also can be prone to firing when you don't want it to fire. With the large magnet in the rear there is more tension on the pull be getting a faster return. Which is faster? Probably the larger magnet in the front however, like I said before you can have less trigger control. With the larger magnet in the rear it might be a slightly slower pull but has zero potential for accidential bounce and accidental firing.

EDIT - §§§§! My big magnet is in the front too stock.

this is what i discovered:
1. the front magnet setup pulls up - no matter which vineer wheel is in place
2. the back magnet setup pushes down - no matter which vineer wheel is in place
3. the biggest magnet applies the most force
4. the smaller magnet applies a smaller force
that being said, where is the best place to have force to achieve the most mechanical bounce.?
either A or B
A. largest force in the back pushing down
B. largest force in the front pulling up?

The part about this that makes the trigger easier is that for the pull in addition to the force exerted by your finger you are also slightly assisted by the magnets. In the release the trigger the magnets try to center themselves until the trigger hits the forward stop.
If you were to loosen your vernier wheels completely and let the trigger slack, you would find that the trigger would center itself where the forces of the magnets are equal. Another factor of that will be the weight and pivot point of the trigger itself, however the trigger itself will be making no contact with the vernier wheels, theoretically.

no, one side repells, one side attracts.
the front attracts , the back repells. so where should i put the magnets to make it the most bounciest

alrighty, after a chat with el pirata, we have come to these conclusions:
so if the front magnet set attracts, and the back set repells. to achieve maximum mechanical bounce, you have to flip a magnet so both sides repell.
now we are testing right now, so hold on

question,
does the fron vernier wheel and the front trigger magnet attract or repel

Point of parlamentary procedure! I have checked out the magnets extensively. They do in fact repell in my speed. Front/front, front/rear, rear/rear, and rear/front all combos repell as long as the magnets are centered on each other as magnets normally are. While it's possible my trigger could be a lemon here but one thing is for sure, one of our markers is messed up. However, if it ends up being mine I think I will keep it as is since I love the feel as is. Masterbator, if you like the feel of your trigger then leave it as is.

is the front set of magnets supposed to repel or attract

It does matter if it could be shooting better. It's be like if you bought a brand new car but one of the tires was bald. You'd expect a brand new car to come with brand new tires.

think of it like this.
On a stock 05 speed the back and front magnets both attract. SO when you pull the trigger the back magnet pulls it back to assist in the pull. THe front magnet is bigger so when you let go the trigger snaps back. THe vernier wheels adjust how much power the magnets have ( i think. but it doesnt matter anyway). So in theory if you put the big magnet in back the trigger will snap more when you shoot the best way to get mechanical bounce would probably be to remove the back magnet.That way when you release the trigger it snaps back really fast
pballer2
02-27-2005, 07:58 PM
you would have no trigger comeback then
nastylax8
02-27-2005, 08:01 PM
wrong. YOu would have tons of trigger come back. If you remove the back magnet then nothing stops the front magnet from whipping the trigger back insanely fast. THe only drawback would be that the pull would be slightly harder and you could probably remedy this a little by removing the rubber washers.

steam and a neodymium(i dont know if that is how it is spelled) magnet. I took off my trigger and put it next to the steam. The steam heated up the plastic and then i put the neodymium magnet next to the othet magnet and it popped right out

you mean you flipped the magnet? wo, how you do it? i dont understand ur method.
nastylax8
02-27-2005, 08:39 PM
i didnt flip it, i took it out. Although flipping it would result in even more bounce but the trigger pull would be hard.
I did it to an 05 speed trigger. I suggest not doing it because there is a chance you could break you trigger.
I took the trigger and put the top of it next to a home steam machine (used for clothing) this made the plastic more workable. Then i touched the top of the magnet with an ice cube to get molecules tighter packed(make it smaller) Then i put the neodymium magnet next to it and it popped out.

neodymium is an insanely strong magnet. In our school science lab the keep this one neodymium magnet (about 1cm x 1cm x 1cm square) in a block of styrofoam with a hole for the magnet to keep it from screwing up instruments in the lab.

the trigger can become slightly mishaped and rub against the frame . I was heating the are surrounding the trigger. I would suggest that you go buy another 05 speed trigger from FMA.com to experiment on.(if you have the money)

While all of that makes sense the one part that does not make sense is that if the magnets are attracting to each other then it's possible that eventually either the magnets are going to pop out of their mounts or they are going to cause the trigger to stick in the back position. If they are attracting they the front magnet is at it's weakest at the rear of the pull while the rear is at it's strongest. Since there is nothing hilding either magnet in place aside from pressure there are more forces pulling the magnets to come out of their pressed fittings, probably the vernier wheels will be the ones to give and release a magnet.
By having the magnets repelling each other their natural magnetism is causing the magnets to stay in place. At the rear of the pull the magnet is repelling itself forward until either the trigger stops going fordard due to the trigger stops or the force of the front magnet equalizes the force of the rear magnet.
I took off my trigger and vernier wheels and all of them are set to repel each other. While it's possible the trigger setup in my speed it incorrect logic says the repelling is more useful than attraction.

Grab one of your vernier wheels and put it in hot water for a few minutes and then use a dental pick to remove the magnet.
