ABSTRACT:
A trigger assist system. The system utilizes a means to detect cycle progress of a pneumatic gun and communicates to a means to forcibly return the trigger to a released position. The trigger is forcibly released against the user's applied finger pressure allowing the gun to complete a cycle and come to position whereby the gun is ready to be fired, or cycled, again. The trigger assist system then relaxes the trigger allowing the user's applied pressure to again pull the trigger. In one embodiment, the means to detect cycle progress is a switchable pneumatic valve in communication with the bolt of the gun. In another embodiment, the means to detect cycle progress is an electronic circuit in communication with the trigger system. In one embodiment, the means to forcibly return the trigger to a released position is a pneumatic piston. In another embodiment, the means to forcibly return the trigger to a released position is an electronic solenoid. In another embodiment, there is also a means to control cycle speed. In one embodiment, the means to control cycle speed is an adjustable flow controller in communication with the bolt.
