Some questions that I have :

- Could it be possible that EC is pressure-triggered? By that, I mean Yang pressing her fingers onto her palm. Notice that in all of the scenes where she actually shoots from EC, she has a closed fist. You can just curl your fist into a ball, and there's actually pressing your fingers onto the middle part of your palm. If this is the case then we may have just solved the riddle of EC's trigger.

- Reloading. If we will base EC's mechanics on the trailer, at some point you'll have to eject spent casings or clips (with EC I think a cartridge belt would be the closest match). How will we replicate the flick-ejection Yang did in her trailer, prior to loading the red cartridge belt?

That's all I have for now... Sleepiness, hunger, tiredness and boredom all make my head swim at work... The thing about reloading is that we've only seen her do it once, and that was when she switched to the red casings. In all her other battling, she's never even once shown to reload.

The motion trigger seems likely because even when she's not actually punching something, she still fires with a puncing motion. If she could trigger it some other way, it would likely be far more accurate to not have the weapon be moving while firing. Not sure the outer case of it is actualyl involved in the motion sensing or not, but for the purposes of a Nerf version that would probably be the simplest.

As a side note, I had a times thought that it could even be aura-triggered. I mean Glynda and Crimson both seem capableof manipulating dust without actually touching it.
