Abstract
The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for a trigger system that can be implemented in a gun. The trigger system may include a trigger body affixed to a pivot, a trigger detent affixed to the pivot, and a detent biasing device configured to bias the trigger detent away from the trigger body such that a detent surface protrudes from the trigger body. The trigger detent may be moveable along a displacement path, and an obstructing surface that is configured to remain substantially stationary relative to the trigger detent may be located in the displacement path of the trigger detent. The trigger detent may be configured to contact the obstructing surface while moving along the displacement path, move linearly away from the obstructing surface by compressing the detent biasing device, and move past the obstructing surface based on a threshold amount of force being applied to the trigger body.
