Suicide mission! Hamilton supplied the pistols knowing they had a built-in hair trigge, and did not test its action before the duel. Burr did not know of the hair trigger and set the trigger normally, took his time to aim and fire. Hamilton was opposed to duels and hoped to change the laws to outlaw them.
