Pick gun modification

Postby TOWCH » 10 Jul 2007 7:27

I was thinking about bumping mechanics so sure enough I had an idea relevant to pick guns.

If you used a foil impressioning type tool to push or pull on the sides of the bottom pins binding them in place, while using a micro movement bump key or pickgun to smack the bottom of the bottom pins, I imagine the results would be much more effective than a pick gun or bump key by themselves.

Wouldnt the pins bind where they were and give false readings?

Also foil rips very easily so you would have to find somthing stronger if your aim is to sort of rub the indents in, maybe a material underneath the foil would solve that problem but remove the advantage, if any, of useing the thinner tool to begin with,

That said its an interesting concept that i shall not only think about tonight but also try if i get time,

Well the goal is actually to aid the pins in seperating kinda like putting your foot on the ball with crocket. A pick guns impact on foil impressioning sounds pretty interesting too though.
