Imperial
Paintball Aluminum KKv2 Trigger
From the Web site:
We took our
re-designed Wermstick and added a little twist, along with another
adjustment. The new KK adjustment has 2 purposes. By tightening it to
the front pivot pin, you can eliminate any side to side play. OR tighten
the KK adjustment, then adjust the remaining pre- travel, post-travel,
& switch actuation to as short a trigger pull as you like. Now
loosen the KK adjustment until the trigger switch is actuated when
pushing UP on the front lip of the trigger. Now when firing, insane
rates of fire are possible because the marker fires at the pull of the
trigger and when the trigger is pushed up. Simply alternating you
trigger finger from pull to push results in a very fast ROF. Recommended
for impulses with vision.
So what makes this trigger different?
This trigger has something no other Impulse
trigger has, 4 adjustment points. Looking at the graphic below to see the four adjustments and what they are used for:
- Post Travel.
This allows you to adjust the amount of travel, often referred to as
play in the trigger After the trigger engages the microswitch (fires
the Impulse).
- Side-to-Side play (aka the KK
Adjustment). This set screw holds two values. The first of
which is to eliminate any side-to-side play by locking the trigger
onto the front trigger pin. The second I will talk about later.
- Pre Travel.
This setting controls the amount of play the trigger has before the
microswitch is engaged.
- Switch Actuation This is the set
screw that pushes on the microswitch, causing your Impulse to fire.
Beyond the four adjustment points, there are a couple of
points of interest with the new IPB trigger:
- First, all four set screws come pre-coated with loc-tite.
This will save you some time and headaches as you adjust the trigger
to your liking.
- The second change from prior IPB triggers is that all
four set screws are adjustable externally. Now you can install
your KKv2 trigger, reassemble your Impulse and work on the trigger
with out having to take everything apart just to fine tune the
trigger.
- Like previous IPB triggers, this one is has a nice
smooth finish.
- Some of the early IPB triggers were thin. This
trigger, like the later IPX trigger is fatter, similar to other
aftermarket triggers.
So what the hell is the KK Adjustment?
While I might know who "KK" is, that's not the question at hand. We
want to know how
this KK adjustment works. That's simple, when seting up your impulse
trigger, first lock down the KK
adjustment (set screw #2). Then adjust the other three set screws to your
liking. Now slowly loosen the KK adjustment (set screw #2). Now
try this, instead of shooting from the bottom of your trigger, use the top
and bounce back and forth between the trigger and the little lip in the
front. If you do it just right, your Impulse will fire when you pull
back, and again when you push forward. Is this illegal, nope.
The trigger is only firing once per trigger action. You are just
getting two actions in the normal amount of effort it takes to get one!!

V2 Wermstick |
Picture of setscrews |
Installation:
- Remove the trigger frame & solenoid tray from the
body.
- Disconnect the battery.
- Remove the board from the solenoid tray.
- CAREFULLY remove the the two c-clips that hold the
trigger pins in place.
- Remove the two trigger pins. Remember which goes
in front and which goes in back.
- Remove the current trigger.
- Slide the KKv2 trigger into position.
- Re-install the trigger pins (in the correct order) and
put the c-clips on.
- Re-install the board and plug in the battery.
- Put the trigger frame & solenoid tray back on the
body.
- Adjust to your liking!!
Installation is that easy, it's the adjustments that a
little time. This is a good thing. The reason it will take some
time is because every person out there has a slightly different
preference. Some people like the trigger tight to the frame while
others like it to slop out. Often with Vision, people will have a
little extra post travel to allow your loader to keep up with the insane
rates of fire this trigger will assist you in getting.
The Details
- Installation: It's
a trigger, it's not hard!
- MSRP: $42.00
- Options: The
price above is for a polished silver finish. For an additional $2.00,
you can get this trigger anodized in any of the following colors: Black,
Blue, Red Green, Purple, Orange and Yellow. But knowing Werm like I
do, I'm sure he can do other colors upon request.
- Pro's: This
is by far the most adjustable trigger out there. If you like to tinker
to find the perfect setup, this trigger is it!
- Cons: Because
this is so adjustable, you are going to want to keep playing with the adjustments
until you get it just the way you like it..
