It seems to me that it would be very easy to replace the hammer and trigger mechanism in a pistol with an electronic firing mechanism. A Solenoid could act as the hammer, and the trigger would be a mere switch between two electrical contacts. I believe that battery technology is there to make this work. It would probably require some kind of small laptop type battery.
What's the advantage? Extreme rappid fire - near full-auto rates, but still with one round fired per trigger pull. Has anyone attempted such a thing in a pistol (I believe there are some electronically fired bolt action rifles). What do you gear-heads think? Possible? I don't see how BATFE can't approve it under their existing rules.
