Forced Reset Trigger

 

 

A Forced Reset Trigger (FRT) is a specialized firearm  system designed to enhance the speed of semi-automatic firing. Unlike standard triggers that require a shooter to manually reset after each shot, FRTs use mechanical force to rapidly reset the trigger after each shot, allowing for a faster follow-up shot without converting the firearm into a fully automatic weapon.

FRTs operate by utilizing spring-loaded mechanisms or other mechanical components that forcibly push the trigger forward after firing a round. This means the shooter does not have to manually release and re-engage the trigger, as the reset process happens almost instantly.

Legal and Regulatory Concerns
The legal status of Forced Reset Triggers is a topic of ongoing debate, particularly in the United States. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has taken action against certain FRT models, arguing that some may function similarly to machine guns under the National Firearms Act (NFA). However, manufacturers and supporters argue that FRTs comply with federal regulations because they still require a distinct trigger pull for each shot fired.

Enforcement actions have included confiscation orders, cease-and-desist letters, and lawsuits against manufacturers. Gun rights advocacy groups continue to challenge such regulations, claiming that FRTs do not meet the technical definition of a fully automatic weapon.
