Mostly makes me think of some EE effect you'd see with a o-scope.
"Yeah, that's not real, it's just Trigger Bounce"
- dmoy 2y agoI have an EE degree. Trigger bounce is a real thing. But it's not an EE thing, it has to do with a firearm malfunctioning in a way such that a normally semi-automatic firearm fires more than once per trigger press, due to some internals on the trigger that I'm forgetting about / don't know about. Now that I put my EE hat on though, there is a significant parallel to "switch bounce", which is an EE thing.
- aidenn0 2y agoAssuming it's the same thing as hammer follow, it's usually caused by a worn disconnector or hammer. The disconnector prevents the hammer from moving forward until the trigger is pressed again (semi-auto) or the gun is in battery (full auto, closed bolt). I suspect open-bolt guns don't have one, but I've never looked at the trigger group of an open-bolt gun so can't be sure.
