I have been thinking about this for a while now.
Would adapting the trigger group from an electric paintball marker to a firearm receiver be legal? I have never seen a firearm with an electronic trigger. A high rate of fire would be obtainable but it would still be semi-automatic because you would be pulling the trigger each and every time. Also, this could work well for target shooting because of the very light trigger pull. The mechanics of an electric paintball marker and a firearm are about the same. But instead of using a spring to drive the hammer, these use an air valve and piston. Maybe, just maybe, an electro-magnet could be substituted for the air piston and valve if it was strong enough to set off the softer primers.
