Would installing an aftermarket trigger with a lighter pull in theory allow one to fire his rifle at a higher rate of speed, and if so would it make bump firing easier?

It stands to reason that it would make bump firing easier. I don't really grasp why someone would work on their rifle to allow it to bump fire more easily though.

I'm beginning to think there are some people here would rather bump fire than get laid.

gunner-1, Your right, It is a silly question!!!!

Once you pull the trigger, the bolt has to unlock, recoil,stall, return.

No matter how fast you pull the trigger, your not going to make the action any faster.  The only way that you could make the action faster is by taking out the weights in the buffer.  You will decrease action time due to the buffer not stalling at the rear.

A lighter, crisper, trigger pull, with the overtravel removed, will make it easier to HIT faster, beyond 10m, if the target is the chest or smaller. There's yanking the trigger, and then there's  hitting cover using heads. The 2 are not even close to being the same thing.

I don't think anybody has the fingers to pull the trigger 900 rpm, which is what the action is capable of.  The bolt operates at about 1/15 of a second (verified by my digital camera).  No one can pull the trigger that fast, so I think you are missing the point.

Yes, Gunner-1 it would help, but accuracy is another issue.
