The response trigger has three major components.
1. A single action pneumatic cylinder with a spring return.
2. A ONE WAY ball check.
3. A choke or needle valve.
Gas from the marker firing pressurizes the pneumatic cylinder and extends the piston. The piston pushes the trigger forward.
The One Way ball check prevents the pressurized air in the pneumatic cylinder from venting back into the ball chamber.
Your finger tension is trying to move the cylinder shaft back down. It can only vent though the needle valve choke to the atmosphere.(barrel). By regulating the rate of flow through the needle valve, you regulate your rate of fire.
I don't believe anything in the Clippard Line will substitute for a Do It Yourself Response trigger. By the time you buy the parts and pay the shipping, you've spent MORE than the one you get from Tippman that WILL work and has a warranty.
