Quad trigger activators

What type of trigger activators do the quads used to pull the trigger on their firearms? Where do you buy them? Or are they homemade?

I'm in the process of making a gun mount for my wheelchair but am not sure how I'm going to pull the trigger. Any suggestions or advise would be helpful.

My brother is a C4/C5 and he used a rifle that had a sip & puff straw attachment to release the trigger. Here is a link to site that creates adaptive equipment for quads. I pasted the info for a contact person for the rifle shooting at the bottom. HAPPY HUNTING!!!

Rifle-mount that plugs into your wheelchair. Uses a sip-and-puff trigger, and aims with a joystick.
