It would need a pretty stout rubber band though, unless you did a little ‘filing’.
My SA Browning came from the factory(*) at around 9lbs.
* The one in Belgium, circa 1942.
Not saying the rubber band needs 9#-pull, just that the mechanism has a solid catch that must be overcome.
This may limit re-firing speed.
God helps those who help themselves.
Gumption, grit, and common sense are valuable traits.

Does God help those who help themselves?
Does “God helps those who help themselves?” Is it Bible verse, or a Bible proverb, or a Bible teaching, or a Biblical principle? No, this is not found in the Bible. The saying sounds practical and has the ring of authority, so many people cling to it as a truism.
Although no one really knows where the phrase originated, it was alluded in King Richard II by Shakespeare, it was quoted by Benjamin Franklin in his popular Little Richard’s Almanac, and it was quoted by Abigail Adams, the wife of President John Adams. (Proverbial Resolve in the Letters of Abigail Adams by Wolfgang Mieder) Let’s look at what the Bible teaches on the subject…
God has promised to help
“Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward.” (Genesis 15:1)
My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation. My stronghold, my refuge, and my Savior, You save me from violence. (2 Samuel 22:3)……..

Many mysteries. Scientists know very, very little, and a lot of what they “know” is wrong.

Wow, Daniel Cameron of Kentucky has made a huge surge, now that they see my strong Endorsement, and the fact that he’s not really “a McConnell guy.” They only try to label him that because he comes from the Great State of Kentucky. Anyway, Go Daniel, great future for you and your State—You will bring it to new levels of success, and I will help you!
This is what the Squad wants for this country, and here is the explanation why no one else wants them: https://patriots.win/p/17rTBKm7nT/heres-why-no-muslimmajority-nati/c/

Probably because there are no guns outside of the security forces. No land predators. Hammer is good especially with straight claw. War hammers were common back in the day.
