=== HyperFrame development ===

By late 1999, CenterFlag was developing electronic trigger conversions for mechanical paintball markers.

In early winter 1999, [[WARPIG]] technical editor Bill Mills tested a prototype '''HyperFrame''' installed on an [[Airgun Designs Automag]]. The demonstration was conducted with Dennis Ashley and used a prototype electronic loading system. The modified Automag demonstrated fully automatic firing at approximately 22 shots per second.[2]

The commercial HyperFrame became available during 2000.

Unlike a mechanical trigger frame, the HyperFrame used a microswitch, electronic control board and solenoid to operate the marker's existing firing mechanism.

Its electronic controls provided programmable firing modes, a shot counter and a game timer, displayed through an LCD screen.[2]

CenterFlag initially offered conversions for the Automag and Minimag, as well as [[Kingman Spyder]] and [[PMI Piranha]] markers.

In March 2001, WARPIG published a detailed review of the Automag HyperFrame. Testing demonstrated improved trigger response but also identified possible compatibility problems with the marker's sear and on/off assembly. CenterFlag provided technical support and replacement components to address the problems.[2]
