Claim 14:
15. A system for facilitating a synchronized discharge of two firearms, the system comprising:
a first actuator for engaging with a movable first trigger of a first firearm, the first actuator configurable between a first configuration that prevents movement of the first trigger toward a firearm-discharge position of the first trigger, and a second configuration that permits movement of the first trigger toward the firearm-discharge position of the first trigger, the first actuator being a hydraulic actuator interacting with hydraulic fluid;
a first sensor sensing a pressure of the hydraulic fluid and configured to generate a first signal indicative of a first force applied to the first trigger by a first shooter from the pressure of the hydraulic fluid;
a first controller operatively coupled to the first sensor and to the first actuator;
a second actuator for engaging with a movable second trigger of a second firearm, the second actuator configurable between a first configuration that prevents movement of the second trigger toward a firearm-discharge position of the second trigger, and a second configuration that permits movement of the second trigger toward the firearm-discharge position of the second trigger;
a second sensor configured to generate a second signal indicative of a second force applied to the second trigger by a second shooter;
a second controller operatively coupled to the second sensor and to the second actuator;
wherein:
the first controller and the second controller are configured for data communication with each other;
the first controller is configured to, when the first force meets a first criterion with the first actuator in the first configuration preventing movement of the first triqqer toward the firearm-discharge position of the first triqqer and the second force meets a second criterion, cause the first actuator to transition from the first to the second configuration of the first actuator, the first criterion including the first force applied to the first triqqer by the first shooter being equal to or exceeding a predetermined pull weight value greater than a trigger pull weight value of the first firearm; and
the second controller is configured to, when the first force meets the first criterion with the first actuator in the first configuration preventing movement of the first triqqer toward the firearm-discharge position of the first triqqer and the second force meets the second criterion, cause the second actuator to transition from the first to the second configuration of the second actuator.
