Just to clarify on the rate of fire, it's simply a dwell setting that would delay the release of the hammer for the next shot. It doesn't change the mechanical cyclic rate like changing out buffers/springs/etc.
My Airgun Designs X-Mag has a similar mechanical backup mechanism. The mechanical backup is more for if the batteries die rather than ECM or EMP.
The real problem with this type of trigger is it will be very difficult for it not to exhibit trigger bounce, effectively producing full-auto.

Neat, but a few things came immediately to mind:
- No "break point" huh?
- Accuracy is exponentially increased?
- 1000 rounds per minute in full auto mode? Wow, I had
no idea that the fire control group dictated the cyclic rate in an M16.
- It has a mechanical backup due to worries about ECM and/or EMP?
- It's the "worlds greatest trigger" based on a single prototype?
The concept is cool and I wish him well, but I won't be swapping out my Geissele SSAs for a battery operated Rube Goldberg FCG anytime soon

I have no reason to doubt anything you wrote
My issue with his claim is the number itself. Unless he is talking about installing his trigger in an M231 firing port weapon that operates from an open bolt, he isn't going to get 1000 rounds per minute with anything in the M4/M16 family. I'm probably splitting hairs, but details are important if he wants to be seen as credible ... at least to me
