A Glock switch functions by applying force to a semi-automatic pistol's trigger bar to prevent it from limiting fire to one round of ammunition per trigger pull. [5] [6] Normally, in a semiautomatic pistol, after firing, the trigger bar catches the firing pin until the trigger is released, but when depressed by the switch it does not catch.
A hell-fire trigger is a device that allows a semi-automatic firearm to fire at an increased rate. The hell-fire clamps to the trigger guard behind the trigger and presses a "finger" against the back of the trigger to increase the force that returns the trigger to its forward position, effectively decreasing the time required for the trigger to reset, allowing for a faster follow-up shot.
Sear shown in a revolver action. In a firearm, the sear is the part of the trigger mechanism that holds the hammer, striker, or bolt back until the correct amount of pressure has been applied to the trigger, at which point the hammer, striker, or bolt is released to discharge the weapon.
The selection is often by a small rotating switch often integrated with the safety catch or a switch separate from the safety, as in the British SA80 family. Another method is a weighted trigger, such as the Steyr AUG , which will fire a single shot when 4.0 - 7.1 kg (8.8 – 15.4 lbs.) of weight is exerted on the trigger, and then become fully ...

KN2 "Krytron" switch tube, made by EG&G (about 25 mm tall) [1] The krytron is a cold-cathode gas-filled tube intended for use as a very high-speed switch , somewhat similar to the thyratron . It consists of a sealed glass tube with four electrodes .
The Schmitt trigger was invented by American scientist Otto H. Schmitt in 1934 while he was a graduate student, [1] later described in his doctoral dissertation (1937) as a thermionic trigger. [2] It was a direct result of Schmitt's study of the neural impulse propagation in squid nerves.
Schmitt trigger filtering may be applied (or integrated into the IC) to provide a clean digital output that is robust against sensor noise. The hysteresis thresholds for switching (specified as B OP and B RP) categorize digital Hall ICs as either unipolar switches, [9] omnipolar switches, [10] or bipolar switches, [11] which may sometimes be ...
