Electronic paintball trigger on rimfire?

Wouldn't be hard, but I'm assuming that would fall under some sort of law covering electronic assistance. If not, alot of paintball trigger setups are capable of semi, burst, full auto and "ramp" fire which allow more than one discharge with one pull of the trigger. thats definitely illegal.
I am designing a receiver and it would make some of the trigger group a lot easier to arrange, vastly easier tuning, faster shooting with a legal semi-auto setup.

This is one of the problems, but I assume it is possible to deactivate the burst and full auto functions. There is no law against electronic triggers themselves, some competition handguns use them currently.

I was capable of atleast 600-700 rounds per minute on my
ebladed auto cocker back when I played. As a machinist i can see a few ways to get one of those eblades on a rifle. As a machinist there are certain legal and unsafe things i don't do. I don't bore aluminum car rims, I don't make adaptors for grinding equipment, and this is now part of my list.
It's an interesting concept that should be persued no farther.
Won't work on front end car parts either. Too much liability imho.

Every paintballer worth his salt knows you measure in BPS, or balls per second. but really anyone can send the board from and electronic gun down to the states to be re programmed,to full auto or to only semi, skys the limit.with the sensitivity on most triggers you would like end up with run aways, ive had markers where my trigger would run away cause it was to sensitive at on ramp mode at tourneys, it would just turn into a full auto from the recoil of a fire arm and paintball guns have much less recoil then that, but since a simple board swap could make it full auto it will be illegal no matter what you do.
On the topic of electronic triggers, here's a 10/22 bullpup with an electronic trigger. Interesting read. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2014/12/19/electronic-arms-1022-bullpup-electric-trigger/
I multiplied my bps by 60 for those reading the firearm forum. I'm not sure the recoil from a. 22 rifle would effect most e-triggers, but the point about reprogramming them would make it illegal regardless.
This is true. I cannot think of any paintball marker with an electronic trigger that doesn't have a prgrammable chip however. A purpose built electronic system would circmvent the legal issues perhaps but having a triger pull in the ballpark of ounces on a rifle would require the utmost care in regards to trigger control.
The only electronic frames that could be used would be from a sear tripping marker (blowback, autococker/automag, tippman, etc) as full electronic markers now just trip selenoids. Add in extensive modifications to both the frame and firearm hammer, then think about material failure.
This doesn't sound like a good idea to pursue even if it proves to be legal.

Why not? There are already electronic triggers in use on target pistols. I just want to make my own with off the shelf components to simplify the FCG on a custom receiver design.
I said nothing of a super light trigger, they can always be set to a heavier pull weight if necessary.
Once again, there is no law against an electronic trigger system and any programming would be set for semi-auto only and fixed on that setting.
Finally, some good info. I will look into the markers that use sears. I have no worries about material failures, I am a mechanical engineer and should be able to handle that side of things. My issue is I know nothing of the paintball markers and was looking for leads on them.
