I have been testing a different trigger, and early results are excellent. The flow rate exceeds the standard trigger in dynamic bench testing. Launcher testing is still ahead, but these triggers have been used successfully on launchers before, so no difficulty is expected there. This posting is to help those who have been seeking triggers independently and provide some details.

The “New Trigger” is a Harbor Freight Central Pneumatic number 3962. This is combined with a 1/4″ by 1/4″ Nipple number 95445 to fit in the brass street elbow, and then into the valve.

This trigger is a “thumb trigger”, so face the red thumb lever towards the rear of the launcher. Be sure to unscrew and discard the flow restrictor from the blow gun’s tip section (or anemic launches will result). Use Teflon Tape to seal all joints. Do not glue the joints!
