ATF put out a letter in the past, and I've seen it, in which they state that an electronic trigger actuation is classified as a machine gun, since a single activation of the electronic device results in multiple actuations of the firearm. In other words, push a button once, get multiple rounds fired, machine gun. Crank fire triggers require the crank to be activated for each and every round fired, so they are legal. Electronic actuation of a crank fire device is a machine gun (single activation of a button to turn the crank). Think of a mini gun where an electric motor turns the barrel and results in multiple firings of the gun with a single depression of the trigger.
