Duration: 32:00

This video explores the Warhammer Armaments Forced Reset Trigger (FRT) for MP5 and MP5K platforms, enabling semi-automatic variants to achieve extremely high rates of fire, exceeding factory full-auto speeds. The FRT's mechanical design allows for rapid follow-up shots by using the bolt's forward movement to reset the trigger, while legally remaining semi-automatic. The review also covers the use of Lee Sporting lower receivers for AR-style triggers and improved ergonomics, and the impact of suppressors on cyclic rate.

Quick Summary

A Forced Reset Trigger (FRT) for an MP5 allows semi-automatic variants to achieve extremely high rates of fire, often exceeding factory full-auto speeds. It works by using the bolt's forward movement to reset the trigger, enabling rapid follow-up shots while legally remaining semi-automatic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Forced Reset Trigger (FRT) for an MP5?

A Forced Reset Trigger (FRT) for an MP5 allows semi-automatic variants to achieve extremely high rates of fire, often exceeding factory full-auto speeds. It works by using the bolt's forward movement to reset the trigger, enabling rapid follow-up shots while legally remaining semi-automatic.

How does the Warhammer Armaments FRT work mechanically?

The Warhammer Armaments FRT uses an assisted reset principle. The bolt's forward movement pushes the trigger forward, resetting it for the next shot. This design allows for a very fast cycle rate while still requiring one distinct trigger pull per round fired.

Can suppressors affect the fire rate of an MP5 with an FRT?

Yes, suppressors can significantly increase the cyclic rate of MP5 variants, especially traditional baffle designs. The added backpressure from the suppressor can push the bolt carrier group faster, potentially leading to feeding issues if the rate outpaces the magazine's ability to feed rounds.

What are the benefits of Lee Sporting lower receivers for MP5s?

Lee Sporting lower receivers allow MP5 platforms to accept standard AR-15 trigger groups and pistol grips. This provides access to a wide range of aftermarket triggers, such as those from Geissele, and can also improve the ergonomics of the magazine release.
