trigger pulls however if the signal of fig8 was monitored and filtered using the method of the present invention the signal would have been quickly determined to be invalid as a clear trigger bounce operation for example the signal of fig8 transitions too slowly from a fully released condition at 62 to a trigger depressed condition at 66 also the stroke length of the trigger 18 is far too short as it hovers about the trigger activation line 56 also the signal does not remain long enough above and below the trigger activation line 56 when combined as desired the various parameters can be set to eliminate the effect of recoil and trigger bounce on a paintball marker 10 the trigger transition filter of the present invention can be easily incorporated into an existing operating system of a marker 10 any algorithm can be employed to carry out the method of the present invention further the filter at 46 of fig3 of the present invention can be written in any language known in the art for easy incorporation into a marker operating system the software that embodies the trigger transition filter of the present invention can be easily installed on a marker 10 by an upgrade moreover once the software is installed on a marker 10 the parameters of the software as described above can be easily set for all competitors during a competition for example before a competition the parameters for the match can be uploaded to the markers of the competitors to dictate the constraints on trigger bounce operation thus the parameters of trigger bounce control.
