Now that you mention it, I've already seen this done on similar devices.
Creative individuals have hacked electronic firing systems so that you can
control both the trigger mode (semi, burst, auto) and the cyclic rate for
automatic modes (burst, auto). These hacks were done on electronically
controlled semi-only systems.
I guarantee that these mods would be on the street within days of the
introduction of these types of control systems. The cruel irony of
unintended consequences...heh.
