1. A magnetically actuated sear for a trigger of a firearm and/or a simulated firearm, the magnetically actuated sear comprising:
(i) a trigger body; (ii) a magnet affixed to the trigger body; (iii) a magnet catch, wherein the magnet catch is aligned parallel to the magnet; (iv) a fulcrum which extends through the magnet catch and affixes the magnet catch to the trigger body, wherein the magnet catch is configured to pivot on the fulcrum; (v) a trigger engagement device, wherein the trigger engagement device is affixed to a first longitudinal end of the magnet catch; (vi) a pushing device, wherein a first end of the pushing device is in engagement with the trigger engagement device and wherein a second end of the pushing device extends through the trigger body; and wherein the magnetically actuated sear excludes a spring for resetting the sear, wherein prior to an application of an external force to the pushing device, a first surface of the magnet catch is in a magnetically cooperating relationship with the magnet at a second longitudinal end of the magnet catch, wherein the magnet catch is separated from the cooperating relationship with the magnet and moved to a predetermined distance upon application of an external force to the pushing device wherein the external force is applied in a direction which is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the magnet catch, and wherein, upon release of the external force to the pushing device, a resetting of the magnetically actuated sear is facilitated only by magnetic attraction between the magnet and the magnet catch. |
