The two finger trigger mod is the easiest and  cheapest way to increase the performance of your TS1 paintguns.  This is true considering that the majority of fields do not allow full auto play.  So what are you to do if you come up across this.  You modify your guns!  Personally, the stock trigger is really "mushy" and not crisp enough.  There seems to be too much slack in the "feel."  The two finger trigger makes the stock trigger longer, which makes it easier to fire the gun.  Since the gun's trigger works on a pivot system, a longer trigger makes it easier to pull back due to "lever action."  Items Required: Two finger trigger shoe (approximately $15), Dremmel or some sort of saw, sand paper, metal file  1. Go to your local paintball store and purchase a two finger trigger shoe.  2. Disassemble the rear portion of the gun from the main body.  3. The trigger is connected to the gun by a small stainless steel pin that it pivots on. (see figure 1) Using a small nail or ice pick and a hammer, tap out the pin. Now slowly remove the trigger and the other parts that are in the way.  You may also refer to the cad image that I have scanned.  4. The trigger will be wider than what the trigger shoe can fit onto (see figure 3), so that is why you need the Dremmel or some sort of metal file to shave down the excess material on the trigger so that the shoe fits.  The trigger is made of some sort of plastic, which makes this process easy. Remember to shave down a little material at a time so that you do not get rid of too much.  5. Once you have gotten the trigger to the right thickness, reassemble the trigger assembly in reverse order.  Do not install the two finger trigger until you have reinstalled the rear part of the gun to the main body of the gun.  6. To accommodate the length of the two finger trigger, you will also need to saw off a portion of the trigger guard that surrounds the trigger.  The trigger guard is an integral part of the main body of the gun.  It is made of a ceramic polymer, so the sawing should be quite easy. After you have made the initial incisions, file down or sand the rough edges so that they are nice and smooth.  7. Now all you have to do is reinstall the rear portion of the gun and then attach the trigger shoe to the trigger.  Return to the Customization Page
