Abstract

The subject matter discloses a fire improving hit probability apparatus for reducing misfire of a firearm, comprising a trigger unit to detect when a trigger of the firearm is engaged; a detection unit to collect direction data of a direction at which the firearm is directed when the trigger of the firearm is engaged; a firing processor to improve accuracy of a shooter firing the firearm, wherein the firing processor designates a target sample when the firing processor receives a signal from the trigger unit that the trigger is engaged, wherein the target sample comprises the direction data; a storage for storing an orientation sample designated by the firing processor; an electromagnet to control functions of a sear of the firearm; wherein the firing processor designates a target orientation data according to orientation data collected when the trigger is engaged, said target orientation data is compared to a real time orientation data; wherein the firing processor enables the firing processor the firearm to fire a round when the real time orientation data matches the target orientation data.
