Mine is electronic. but I thought about just what you are thinking. Like the Tippman, install a pneumatic piston/ram behind the trigger to push it forward. Use the ram exhaust of the bolt closing to push the trigger forward. Or like the Tippman use some of the compressed air in the discharge chamber. That would require some holes in your body or barrel. I would try the plumbing off the ram first. Use a needle valve choke to control the rate of fire. There would be timing and short stoke issues as well with the cylinder trying to push the trigger forward. But go for it. Piston: Note spring return. http://www.clippard.com/store/display_details.asp?sku=SM-6 Needle Valve: http://www.clippard.com/store/display_details.asp?sku=MNV-1 Have fun. Like the Tippman Response trigger yours will push against your gripping the trigger. You point of aim will be impaired. That is why I went with an electronic trigger. The timing issues went away with the electronic controls.
