Ok guys, I have certainly enjoyed reading the responses to my question 'so far'.
I must be honest and say that I was forewarned about mentioning/using the word firearm (Scott, thanks - you know me. Learn the hard way). I'd like to thank all those who have given this some thought and perhaps took the conversation to new heights of inherent safety. Just as an aside, or addition, I know there was some slight confusion regarding exactly the nature of the beast in question and the intent. Just to further clarify. The 'object' is in fact a rifle who's intended purpose being that of any other mechanical monster - gaming, self protection etc etc. The actual electronics is both in the safety latch on/off and also the firing mechanism. As suggested or guessed by one fellow member, it uses this to release the hammer thus avoiding jerking action and increasing accuracy. Again thanks to all who put fingers to keyboard and just so that I don't feel left out on this one. And being English (no offence intended - lighthearted view) I must tell you this, those Corned Beef containers (made in Argentina hence .... >:), you know, those with the funny key that opens it about 90% of the way and then the last 10% takes off two of your fingers. Man they need to have BIG bright warnings labels.
