Well What do you all think, and will states allow this type of ignition for black powder. I think it is great, no more forgeting the damn primer, ya it happens to the best of us.

Just don't hit the trigger while your seating the bullet. That gun is probably a lawsuit waiting to happen since it violates their own safety recommendations. http://www.cva.com/muzz/muzzsafety.htm
Maybe that should be disconnect the battery prior to loading.
Place percussion cap on nipple only when ready to shoot

I don't know how I feel about zero lock time. It is just to modern for my taste. Even so, I figure this rifle will be extremely popular with flinchers. Their groups will shrink remarkably with this rifle I suspect.

I read somewhere on the Internet that the gun has to recycle for 20 seconds or so before it will fire again. Possibly to build up the charge. Pretty soon they won't need triggers just a toggle switch.

RE: CVA Electra Magnum
I think this might just be an idea that should not have been run to completion. I for one would not trust a switch or a cut off to make sure that the damn thing did not ignite just as I pushed the bullet down. I am a little nervous just loading quickly if there might be any sparks in the bore. I have done it hunting and never had it go off but I am very careful to not have my hand over the ramrod. In fact the one thing I like about the Hubbard ramrod for the NEF is that it is two inches longer that stock which allows having your hand wrapped around the rod when the bullet goes to full seat. Just read about someone that ran the ramrod through his hand with a similar accident.
