Yep, it's a break beam eye, only for the trigger.
There's actually an interesting way you can make a gun faster using this technology and the actual defination of nppl rules constituting a trigger pull.
The NPPL rule is that a pull is any application and release of force. Optical sensors, are not binary, and so can take advantage of this, as they don't have a set point of release (thats programmed in as a threshold by WDP)
With optical sensors, and some clever coding, you could create a trigger that fires everytime the trigger moves back at all (and the corresponding decrease in beam intensity) but resets and is ready for a pull as soon as the trigger has moved back at all. This would help every finger count, because right now it takes a good bit of rhythm and letting the trigger return and all that blather to make all your finger pulls count when walking. With this potential system you could have an inch worth of trigger pull, and just hammer away with both fingers, and never lose a shot.
Because of the way the firing and reset points are calculated, I call it a differential trigger.
You'd still need to run a debounce filter on it, but all your intentional pulls would be registered, something no set point system can claim.
You would still have a return setup. The point is your pull could have a full inch of play, but depending on the thresholds you set, you could have as short a pull as you want (.01mm). Within that inch of trigger play, you have infinite firing and return points, for as soon as the trigger has moved backwards at all, from any position where it was fired, it is considered reset. In the course of the 1/2" triger pull, i could fire many shots if I demonstrated (conforming with NPPL rules mind you) a application of relase in force. This would break down as me pulling a 1/4", releasing 1/8", and repeating that cycle 8 times throughout a one inch trigger pull.
No set trigger point eliminates the need for a trigger you can barely see moving. The weight of the trigger would be set to a person's preference.
Basically, it IS the NPPL rule. The NPPL rules don't classify this as a double trigger, or anything like that, nor would this setup appreciably more bounce than a light trigger with a similar threshold level.
