Has anyone use this type of ball/ blunt point trigger?

Look under Biathlon catalogue, page 9

Look like it would be very easily to add some semi-circle ball to my LP10 trigger.

Would there be any benefit from using this type of trigger?

Finger pad is smooth, not solid. With light or very light triggers a ball point may be useful, I guess.

The trigger assembly they show has a 3/4 sphere with a grooved face instead of a traditional paddle type trigger face.

This would concentrate the trigger resistance into a smaller surfac area on the pad of the trigger finger, and the points of the surface wold concentrate the forces even more (think "bed of nails" on the face of the trigger).

1. This would make the trigger pressure feel heavier than it otherwise would be;

2. This would increase the "feel" of the trigger pressure into a series of more intense points vs. spreading the force out evenly

IMNSHO this "magnifying" effect would of course be useful for Biathlon events, perhaps not so useful for other events (particularly those fired at more typical temperatures).

Anyhow

If I wanted the trigger pressure to be increased, I would increase the trigger pressure.

A heap experiment would be to put a dollop of epoxy on h te face of your existing trigger shoe, and then file some grooves into it. Fire it that way for awhile and then remove the epoxy if you don't like it?

sorry "CHEAP" experiment

and

Of course the grooved/faceted surface would provide "anti slip" effect also useful for biathlon.
