Digital-Electronic AR Rifle Trigger

Post by Toxarch »

A company has invented a digital trigger, currently for ARs but planned for other rifles. Seems like a neat idea. No creep, no break point, only a spring resistance. And if the digital trigger fails, it has a mechanical backup. Semi, 3 round burst, 6 round burst, full auto, and a way to adjust the rounds per minute speed. Currently designed for military, but there will be a civilian version. Retail will be $200.

Well shoot, that's just cool. I could see the civilian market being trouble though, if you have someone who's good at modifying electronics and stuff... However I like the idea of pushing technology, using this electronic trigger is similar to the electronic primed/fired ammunition I've read about, but this one retains Newtonian physics of the traditional hammer.

Wonder if it requires any modification to the lower receiver?

Variable rate of fire would be nice in my 614...

I thought atf ruled years ago on electronic release triggers in semi auto guns.

The electronic primer triggers were different.

A world of possibilities.

Add wifi/bluetooth/4G and you could mount your deer rifle on a drone and hunt from your campsite. Or, add a brain wave detection unit and you could just "think" a shot off impressing your pals at your next rimfire match.

Hook it up to google glass.

Mark Zuckerberg can keep a tally of your rounds fired.

One trigger pull for each round fired.
Why wouldn't an electronic trigger be OK?

Once this gets made, ATF will probably rule micro-usb cords to be "machine guns"...

While i have no clue how their system works i could see the atf using the old "readily convertable" reasoning on denying its use and possible conversion to a machine gun.
