Tripping the HES with a small magnet

[lord1234]

I know this may sound silly. But would it be possible to trip the HES with a magnet other than in the trigger? IE if i held a magnet up to the HES on the left or right side of the trigger would the gun read that as a fire command and shoot? Would there be any problems with this(IE messing up the board?)
How powerful a magnet would i need?


Also what about installing Dual HES's into a trigger(i know this sounds really silly, and making the trigger stationary and all you would have to do is play ur gloved fingers across the trigger (fingers on glove have magnets sewn into them). Would that be possible?

Yes, any magnet will work... pretty much. It won't mess up the board.

A magnet in glove was done a long time ago on other guns, so yes it is possible... but not tourny legal.

So in reality, a trigger is not really needed on an emag. What would the rules be for something along the lines of my sewing in magnets into my gloves?

like miscue said not tourny legal

Why is that? I'm not too knowledgable as far as all the rules go, but I know the 1 ball to 1 complete trigger cycle rule. The rules would almost have to be re-written to cover this particular type of trigger, or lack there of, but how would that be breaking the rules on this one? Instead of one full trigger cycle, it would be 1 ball every 1 solenoid activation...I guess.

The trigger has to move. and if you have a magnet in your glove, the trigger is no longer moving.

By the NPPL rules, you couldn' tuse a strain guage either.
