Magnets for making homemade magnetic triggers

As some of you peeps know, Kat and I are geting ready to move to Alabama. So we are going through our daughters' things deciding what to throw away and what to pack. In doing so I made a very interesting discovery. There are some dolls called "Polly Pockets" they are tiny dolls and some of them use tiny but very strong magnets to hold the clothes on the dolls. And I thought to my self holy crap those things would be great for making homemade magnetic triggers for like tippmanns and such. Here is a picture of 2 of the magnets holding 2 quarters and a dime together. And a link to a video of their strength.

LMAO.. Well, they DO live in alabama now.. Who knows...

The house they got (at at least on ekat showed to me) was huge and beautiful, with a huge yard, and to my knowledge, was a bargain.

We didnt end up getting that house because i turned the job down. We went and looked at a house today that I think we are gonna get and the best news is that there is enuff room in the back yard to put in a speedball field.

As for making the trigger, put one on the trigger and then put the other one inside the body in a manner that pushes the trigger away. That way the magnetic force pushes the trigger back to its non-pulled position. It makes for a really light trigger pull. No me and Kat are not borther and sister we are married....even tho we are from Alabama.
