No but its worth a try...

a) It would allow for far faster rates of fire than standard triggers

b) The components would be relatively cheap

c) It could come as an aftermarket grip frame on many guns

d) It rocks!

I disagree. You can only fire your gun as fast as the hopper will feed. So even if you were able to get 40cycles per second out of it, even if you have a HALO on the gun, it aint gonna do more than 22 odd bps....so whats the point?:)

Ok, not sure if this has already been done / discussed / banned etc, but if it isn't covered on one of the new electros it should be.

One of the problems I've found on extremely short trigger pull guns is that it is way too easy to push too hard and not let go enough for the switch to reset.

What should be put on is a longer trigger pull, linked to a processor which monitors how much your trigger is depressed, and then whenever the trigger pull has shown to be lessened and increased at all the gun will cycle. This will mean extremely low movement pulls, but will also mean if you have sloppy fingers you can hammer away. It also should be legal as there is an action of moving back and forwards.

What does everyone think?
If this hasn't been copyrighted yet, all intellectual and moral rights of this belong to me, Azz3h.
Please be aware that if triggers become stupid there was talk about introducing a rule that triggers must be a pulled a minimum lenth and also require a stated amount of force before discharge.

So learn to use the equipment you have and stop thinking that a shorter trigger will make you a better player.
If you can fire now at 10 bps how fast can you fire with your idea.

It would allow people like me with sloppy fingers though Sam an easier way of walking the trigger, seeing as I have an awful habit of not releasing one of my fingers (or the trigger) enough :)

Or rather than try and find alternatinve ways you and every other player out there could learn and train to shoot fast.....

Shooting fast is a skill, just like running fast, and so on. Why cant people train so that they can use their equipment properly rather than try to find ways of cheating the system?

But as already mentined it isn't cheating Sam?
