Classification: CPC F | IPC F

Claim 16:
17. A pistol-gripped firearm comprising:
a trigger movable to cause discharge of the firearm;
a pistol grip for holding the firearm by a shooter;
an actuator engageable with the movable trigger, the actuator configurable between a first configuration that prevents movement of the trigger toward a firearm-discharge position of the trigger, and a second configuration that permits movement of the trigger toward the firearm-discharge position of the trigger, the actuator being disposed inside of the pistol grip, the actuator being a hydraulic actuator interacting with hydraulic fluid;
a pressure sensor sensing a pressure of the hydraulic fluid and configured to generate a signal indicative of a force applied to the trigger by the shooter from the pressure of the hydraulic fluid, the pressure sensor being disposed inside the pistol grip; and
a controller operatively coupled to the pressure sensor and to the actuator, the controller being disposed inside the pistol grip and being configured to:
receive data indicative of a state of a firearm other than the pistol-gripped firearm; and
when the force meets a criterion with the actuator in the first configuration preventing movement of the trigger toward the firearm-discharge position of the trigger and the state indicates that the other firearm is ready for discharge, cause the actuator to transition from the first to the second configuration, the criterion including the force applied to the trigger by the shooter being equal to or exceeding a predetermined pull weight value greater than a trigger pull weight value of the pistol-gripped firearm.
