electro/mechanical trigger frame

[bokraham]

What I have in my mind is the simpilest way to achieve high rates of fire. Picture a gripframe with a miniture ram in it, so that the plunger, or what ever, of it would push agsinst the on/off pin. As everyone knows rams need air to push the plunger out. That is where electricity would come in, a battery would power another plunger constinanly, so that air would always be going into the ram. But wouldn't the ram plunger, be constintally pushing against the on/off pin? It would unless there were another hole in the ram through which the air could escape. The hole that I am thinking of would be from the ram to behind the trigger. A pull of the trigger would cause this hole to be clogged, so that air would build in the ram, firing the gun. To bring the plunger down quickly, pretty much nothing would need to be done, because, since the electrically controlled plunger would be sucking air out of the grip frame, by pumping it into the ram, creating a very low pressure. Since there is low pressure in the grip frame, and high pressure in the ram, the plunger would be pulled down be the air in the ram exiting so fast. and the trigger would be pushed back out.


I seriously think that this could work. But this probably won't work because I know nothing about cockers and probably have no idea of what a ram is, or how it works. I don't even know if it is called a ram. But otherwise it would work

I managed to strap a spyder e-frame to my mag, if thats kinda what you're talking about? Or, are you talking about putting something like a cocker 3-way inside the grip to push against the on/off? Its a little difficult to tell what you're saying.

bokraham: You are referring about constantly moving air that will flow until you block it using a trigger rod of some kind. In order for air to be moving, it has to be going somewhere. If all exits are blocked (air not leaving the gun), then the pressure will eventually even out and there will be no air movement. Constant air movement and "sucking air" conditions can not exist in a gun if you want to maintain an air source and a battery on the gun.


You can get a high rate of fire using air assisted trigger activated though. You can use a trigger rod to open a tiny air passage that will allow air to flow. Use this air to power a larger ram that will actually do the work of pulling a sear or activating some other firing mechanism. You can make the trigger pull as light and short as needed depending on how in depth you do your design. A short (not too short) light trigger pull with a fast return is what gives an operator the ability to achieve a high rate of fire.
