Abstract: A paintball gun trigger is disclosed. The trigger includes an upper finger gripping portion adapted to be gripped by an upper finger without surrounding the upper finger, and a lower finger gripping portion adapted to be gripped by a lower finger while surrounding the lower finger. Preferably, the upper finger gripping portion is an arcuate lever adapted to receive an index finger and the lower finger gripping portion is a ring adapted to receive a middle finger. In this manner, the index finger can actuate the trigger in a first horizontal direction to fire the gun and move in a second horizontal direction opposite to the first horizontal direction without engaging the trigger, and the middle finger can actuate the trigger in the first horizontal direction to fire the gun and engage the trigger when moved in the second horizontal direction.
