Spam someplace else, nobody asked about other markers. This is not the ICD forums, if you wanna talk about a freestyle or b2k go there.

i can easily walk an icon e. The question is not the gun, its the fingers of the person shooting it.

[spydertipp]

i can walk my spyder ESP very easily.. practice makes perfect... sit in school tapping away on a pencil.. works great

[dyelover66]

i dont think it is possible to rock that but i dunno, never touched one, but it looks like a mechanical marker to me.

[neo71665]

Icon E is not mech

[devinlparker]

you can its just harder

[RobUpNya]

i replaced my stock trigger for a sweet spot trigger that i bought from ebay for cheap. you can adjust it and all. it helped out, but i guess i'm just not coordinated yet. i plan on changing the stock board soon for a t board. practice is the key i guess. i also need a faster hopper....

[RobUpNya]

how much of a gap do i want between the rear of the trigger and the switch?

i heard that i can find a 50 gram switch at radio shack, if so, how hard is it to swap out with the stock one?
what are they exactly called, i don't want to sound like an idiot when i go to radio shack.
thanks.

[leapincoog]

they are called "50 gram switches" but dont get one at radio shack. those arnt truly 50 grams. get one from spps or scenario dreams. Usually, installing one requires soldering, but the ones from scenario dreams are pre-soldered. Im not sure about the spps ones.

[OutkastCockR]

as for the gap, play with it, once you are able to walk a trigger decently, adjust the trigger as close to the fram as possible, it only has to have enough room to depress the switch and bounce out far enough to let the switch re-set, generally with most nicer markers (im not sure how these are) you can have it to the point where it barely moves in and out..

as far as the 50g switch, its a good thing to get, but get good at walking the one you have, then upgrade, that way when you get it lighter you'll have the ability to be faster on it......

one word of advice, to practice walking, if your in school, or whatever, stretch a rubber band between the thumbs and pointer of one hand and pretend its a blade trigger, and when your home, just do it on the gun (WITH OUT AIR ON IT) and listen to the clicks, they'll get faster with time

[p8ntballmike12]

ok i used to own one before i got a good gun
heres what you do
take the trigger frame off
then there is an allen screw that is on top of the trigger
unscrew that about maybe half way
then when you put the frame back on it itll make your trigger a closer pull
i got it so itll be about a 2 millimeter pull
very very walkable
haha

[mesametal]

i got it as close as i could (when i had one) i just wasnt strong enough to walk it. i guess i could but never faster then just doing the vibrating thing.

[p8ntballmike12]

what you mean is flinching
that is pretty much pointless
you have absolutely no accuracy doing that and why in a game would you stick your hand up there and create a flinch?
and yes you can walk the icon i had one and mowed faces with it
and suprisingly we picked up a gy with a mongoose which has same everything but milling and he can go faster on it than i can walk my impulse
also if you want better perfomance by a new board and a blade trigger

[mesametal]

spyder+co2+=not even accurate enough to matter with flinching. (at least mine want)man those were the days

[labelskate2k3]

practice alternating ur fingers while watching tv or something it will become natural.

[Ionballer979]

You can walk an icon. My fingers were to fast for my gun tho. And there really isnt no technique to it either just alternate your fingers.

[Scottster113]

If your handy with guns, you could take of the frame and fiddle with trigger, but i wouldn't reccommend it. Otherwise u just mite wanna working on walking a little.

[RobUpNya]

maaaan.....it's hella easy to walk the gun now that i just installed a t-board!
it rips like crazy!
