Abstract
A hand carried firearm that for safety purposes, has no trigger on the firearm. A shooter has to steady his aim by controlling his breathing, and taking care to squeeze not jerk the trigger in order to hit his target. A remote trigger allows a shooter to steady only his gun hand, because motion at the remote trigger doesn't affect aim.
