Digital Trigger

[inferno218]

Just curious if anyone has seen this digital trigger or had any experience with them. I suppose any pull / release trigger would fall into my curiosity

Any pros/cons or things to be aware of before getting one?

 

[TonyTheTiger]

Link? Or any info at all?

My understanding is that they are illegal (IE NFA type items). An electro trigger or solenoid could easily be programed or modded to shoot more than 1 shot per pull, and as such is ruled NFA?

Do you have a habit of posting opinions about things you're unfamiliar with? Or just repeating someone else's poorly informed opinion, like in the other thread?

Digital/electronic triggers are not illegal.

Tony, I stumbled across the setup the OP is talking about the other day, but forget the name now. It's a newer company. Apparently they have ATF approval for a pull & release trigger system, that can be set for either normal semi or pull+release. They used a standard "mil-spec" semi-auto FCG modified with an electronic method of actuating the sear; supposedly it works as a normal trigger if the batteries die. It looked interesting enough, but not cheap of course.

I forgot more about firearms than you will probably obtain in a lifetime. If you actually knew some history and have seen what has been submitted over the years, and NFA branch rulings you would know what I am talking about.

This one , BFS III, Non Digital, no electronics, $$$ you install or let them: https://www.franklinarmory.com/colle...i-trigger-pack

Safe/ Pos 1 normal, pull trigger and release trigger, 1 shot only/ Pos 2 You pull trigger 1 shot, you release trigger 1 shot, total of 2 shots ETC
And yes they are legal!!!!!!

Lol. At first I thought he was asking about release triggers. After realizing this is the semi-auto section it must be something like this: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016/01/11/yep-its-legal-available-fire-on-pull-release-triggers/

This is the one I was describing above, and what I assume the OP was referring to. Thanks taking the time to hunt it down.

All of these pull/release firing triggers are an accident waiting to happen. Let's not forget the average gun owner is not the brightest crayon in the box. At least they priced them out of the regular Joe's price range.

I've wondered about that a bit too, although I wouldn't mind experimenting with one myself. The digital trigger referenced above though doesn't have to be pull and release, that's just one of the versions, the other is standard pull only. I think they're interesting for the potential trigger feel; click your mouse a few times and think about a trigger that feels like that. The paintball guys have had them for years.

I'm not holding my breath on this particular trigger necessarily being great or even good; it's the technology itself that interests me and the potential behind it. Although, that trigger above does look like they're taking the right approach, on paper at least.

 

[TonyTheTiger]

Oh they're definitely interesting, I'll give you that. I'd finger bang one if given the chance but I have no use for one that could possibly outweigh the potential cons or safety issues. I used to paintball a bit so I can wrap my head around the concept, but there's no serious safety concerns there. The only thing my guns do anymore is shoot matches or critters, neither of those situations leaves room for an AD. I guess if I still liked blasting away at pumpkins and beer cans in the backyard it might look like a fun toy.

 

[Yondering]

I don't burn through ammo or do that bump fire stuff so the pull and release thing is of limited value to me, although it could be fun to play with one. I can certainly imagine bubba at the range firing a shot and turning around with his finger still on the trigger, definitely safety concerns there. Although, I think you'd still have to break more than one safety rule to cause a problem.

I've actually wondered about the utility of a release trigger (one shot, not pull and release) for a precision rifle. They've been around in high end shotguns for years, so there must be a reason they aren't used in precision rifles, I've just never tried it myself.

 

[inferno218]

I guess my notifications are turned off. oops. i also played paintball way back and the electric triggers could rip 15+ ball per second. I honestly have zero use for the digital trigger, but it looks like fun.

If you're looking for a binary trigger, have you considered the Fostech Echo?
It has a sear trip to prevent hammer follow.

 

[Kbroad]

I would also recommend looking into the fostech echo. I got to shoot 300 rounds or so with one a few weekends ago. In 300 rounds, it worked like it was supposed and was pretty fun to play with. I like that it doesn't have hammer follow like the franklin supposedly does. Can't say for sure, because I haven't shot with the franklin.

 

[2ndamendfan]

digital trigger is a solution to problem that does not exist. I have enough shit that takes batteries (which end up being dead 1/2 the time). While I too see the binary triggers as an accident waiting to happen they have a "mode switch" it is part of the safety selector.

Remington had a electronic triggered 700 20 years ago. It had unprecedented lock time which should have made it more accurate. But it flopped. People have shown time and again that they DO NOT want electronics in the basic form of the gun.

New Jersey actually as a law on the books(other may also) that when bio-identification becomes feasible (which would require a product in production) with in one year all non-bio-identification firearms will be banded.

PS. I swear to God some of you fuckers would argue over who had the smelliest socks. You get your panties in a bunch over stupid shit.
