Hey, im not really new to paintball, and i know how to shoot pretty fast but is there a specific method of shooting speedball, quickly ? With your fingertips? Ijust do index finger then middle finger as fast as I can but there is no way I can shoot 20 bps so is there a better way of doing this?

[DarkTamer]

You can't do 20 because no one can do 20. About 15 is the average, and 15 is all you need. It also helps to have a gun that isn't four or more years old

Practise practise practise. It is very hard to achieve the high rates of fire when only on semi. Event the pro's can only hold up 15pbs for 2 seconds max. Most vids of high speed fire are on ramping. even still, finger strength exercises, such as walking a pen can help, or do what i do, just sit down when watchin TV or sumthing and walk ur trigger for 10mins.

i dont do any of that finger excersize stuff, and i can hold a constant 15 with ease on my shocker (virtue debouce of 8, so there could be a very small amount of bounce). belive it or not, doing finger strength excersizes (with guitar finger weights or similar) can make it harder to shoot quickly on semi. why? you have less flexibility, which is what matters when it comes to making your fingers move fast in a tight space. If you can make your fingers move fast in tight spaces, (your girlfriend will love you :P) you'll be able to shoot alot faster.

Really, im curious to know why? x10000000000

just play a lot

Ya, man. Just keep playing. Keep practicing with your marker to get a better feel for it. The more consistent, the better. I noticed a deffinite increase from when I first started. I could barely top 13bps. Now, I can get a consistent 15 no problem and hit 17 if I'm lucky.

And yes, stronger fingers doesn't mean faster fingers. It's weird, but I know for a fact that I can shoot a lot more consistently, faster, and easier with my left hand than with my right, and I am right handed. Which brings up another point. Practice with both hands. You should be switching between them during play, so get a good feel for it.

Playing the guitar really helped me get fast fingers.

yeah im the same way, im the most versatle (sp) player on the team when it comes to left and right handing shooting, but i can shoot faster with my left hand but usualy cant keep it going as long.

I know ur not allowed to post ebay links but this item is bought and payed for by me i just am posting it for people to see the shocker. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN%3AIT&rd=1
now what i want to know is should i get another trigger? to be quicker with my fingers?

[Tomba]

looks like the trigger could be shortened, and i would get a blade trigger i like them more.

[Huntin Dawg]

when ur bored during school just walk ur pencil... ive done it all class before and always strech ur finger before and after exercising

[Jarrett13]

wow that shocker is pretty old. i would get a new trigger
