Waiting anxiously for B5

Postby jkoselka on Wed Feb 24, 2010 9:26 pm

Ok I probabley have bugged the schizzle out of ICP about my order so I turn to the board. What do you guys think of the magnetic trigger for the B5? I was thinking of getting it added to my order but now am second guessing my decision. So whaddya think?

Soon to be the proud owner of:
A5 / B5
14 inch J&J ceramic barrel
ergonomic foregrip

I am drooling in anticiaption. :D

In my opinion it is one of the best upgrades for the B-5....I put it on all of mine because it makes such a tremendous difference in trigger pull.

Ok now that I have had my B5 for a short time. The trigger pull is crisp and definatley an improvement over the stock non-electric one. So does the magnetic trigger really provide that much better feel. I guess I am trying to ask does the trigger improve responsivness, can you increase/decrease pull resistance?

You cannot change pull resistance, but you can change length of pull. I have seen B-5's (my own included) that have been so touchy with the magnetic trigger adjusted so fine that a tap to the side of the B-5 fire is....which in my opinion is dangerous...which is why I backed it off some...but this is all possible with the magnetic trigger

The biggest change with the magnetic trigger is the feel of the trigger. Basicallly as you pull a standard trigger it gets harder the more you pull becuase you a compressing a spring..with a magnetic trigger it gets easier the more you pull because you get further and further from the magnet...thus the feel of it is more of a "loose" feel making for much faster trigger pulls, especially if you never let it get all the way back to the magnet and kind of rock the trigger...there have been games where I have been accused of running full-auto when in fact I have been in semi the entire time.
