It's not a HUGE problem... but a smart fet although more work is a much better option.
Couple with the fact that it is indeed quite literally x amount of power for x time, with the fact batteries don't maintain 100% voltage all the time. It becomes an incredible nuisance.
Instead of going by wattage, they go by time, so if you set your burst to 3 shots with a battery at 80% charge, a fresh battery will do a 5 round burst, and a half empty battery will do 2.8 down to 1.5 shots per burst.
I know because it's the same way the trigger master works, but the TM sets the timing for you so you don't have to do a ridiculous amount of burst timing.

However the new ones that hook up to the anti reversal latch give you true timing.

A neat device, but it still doesn't get rid of the huge resistance your triggerblock causes. I'd much rather be using an SW-comp that doubles as a MOSFET switch.
