Simulated JAMS, by modifying a Trigger Master

[DonP]

Stop firing when mag is empty is a touchy problem. I explored it a few years ago and another fellow had some thoughts too. We tried a few things.

The main problems boil down to:
- The AEG never actually feeds the last few BBs
- Don't want something where you need to modify every mag you own

If you can solve those two problems then you're off to the races.

TM M14, Type 89 and AK74MN all use newer mag designs that feeds all the BBs, does that help? The second one isn't so bad, provided the modification is simple and inexpensive enough.

Maybe there's another solution which would depend on an event which only occurs when the mag is empty. Say an optical sensor somewhere to sense if a bb is shot out of the inner barrel? When there's no bb it shuts off until it is reset via the bolt-catch. Of course this all requires wiring etc...

So what specific events happen when you run out ammo?

Sound signature changes
No bbs are expelled
No bbs are fed into hop.....This is all brainstorming.

How would an optical sensor tell the difference between a BB and the mag follower. And as ex_royal said, my two G&P midcaps for my MP5s leave one BB sitting in the mag on top of the follower, so an optical sensor wouldn't work.
