Duration: 1:00

This video provides a practical comparison between bump firing and a Forced Reset Trigger (FRT) for accuracy. The host, identified as a firearms enthusiast with technical knowledge, demonstrates both techniques on an outdoor range. The FRT, installed on a GForce Arms Jawbone 9mm PCC with a Davidson Defense trigger, significantly outperformed bump firing with a 5.56x45mm rifle in terms of accuracy at 20 yards.

Quick Summary

A direct comparison of bump firing versus a Forced Reset Trigger (FRT) at 20 yards revealed the FRT's significant accuracy advantage. The FRT system achieved 10/10 hits with 2 in the A-zone, while bump firing yielded only 7/10 hits with 1 in the A-zone, underscoring the FRT's effectiveness for precise rapid fire.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference in accuracy between bump firing and a Forced Reset Trigger (FRT)?

At 20 yards, an FRT system achieved 10/10 hits with 2 in the A-zone, significantly outperforming bump firing which yielded 7/10 hits with only 1 in the A-zone, demonstrating the FRT's superior accuracy potential.

Which firearm platform was used for the FRT demonstration?

The FRT demonstration utilized a GForce Arms Jawbone 9mm PCC, equipped with a Davidson Defense 3-position FRT and a Gideon optic, highlighting its suitability for precise rapid fire.

What challenges are associated with bump firing accuracy?

Bump firing, especially when performed from the hip as demonstrated, makes precise aiming difficult, leading to a higher number of missed shots and fewer hits within critical target zones compared to controlled trigger systems.

What ammunition calibers were used in the comparison?

The comparison involved 9mm ammunition for the FRT setup on the GForce Arms Jawbone and 5.56x45mm ammunition for the bump fire setup on the AR-15, showcasing performance differences across calibers and trigger mechanisms.
