How is the trigger weight compared to other blasters? I'm guessing it's not that much heavier, since I've seen vids of the Hypershot in action and the slide does not "recoil" back that much. Correct; the slide moves back about 1/2", and because of that orange "lever" you can see behind the trigger (in the "Trigger removed,," pic), the trigger only has to move 1/4" to achieve that. It's definitely a heavier pull than without it, but the slide spring you're compressing is about the strength of a ballpoint pen spring and twice as long. Pretty much on par with a semiauto flywheel blaster, except you won't be rapid-firing this unless you wanna make lots of clacking noise to strike terror into the hearts of your opponents.
