[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 493411, member: 25383"] the common wire wound coil spring is 18th century technology. Sure we've had tons of upgrades in style and materials over the years, but it still is old. It's always been a comprimise, and cannot be setup in a precision mode. There are at least two setups that will move the firing pin in a fraction of the time, and with great precision. Of course the implementation of something better will mean that the sacred cows will need to design new triggers and bolts. The electronic setup is not new, and has been done in Europe and the USA. The Germans were doing a lot of work with some sort of an electronic primer back in the sixties, and used a 9 volt battery (all military stuff). The trigger was nothing but a switch. Then there was the CO2 setup that was lightening fast with a completely controlled firing pin mass (used a regenerative pneumatic system to load both sides of the firing pin in travel). I suppose that down the road somebody will develope a firing system that uses thermo magnetics to push the pin. There's also another way, but once again the trigger group becomes suspect. gary [/QUOTE]
