Turn Any AR into a Gatling Gun: Freedom Ordnance FG-15

Published on February 9, 2024
Duration: 10:48

The Freedom Ordnance FG-15 transforms an AR-15 into a Gatling-style firearm using an integrated trigger crank. Unlike external systems, it actuates the trigger bar directly via a piston within the grip's mounting bolt. Internal components are durable 4140CM steel with a QPQ finish, machined in the USA. Live fire tests show effectiveness, especially prone with a bipod, though grip ergonomics could be improved.

Quick Summary

The Freedom Ordnance FG-15 converts an AR-15 into a Gatling-style firearm using an internal piston within the grip's mounting bolt to directly actuate the trigger bar. It features three modes (Locked, Neutral, Fire) and is constructed from durable 4140CM steel with a QPQ finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Freedom Ordnance FG-15 differ from other AR-15 trigger crank systems?

Unlike traditional external trigger cranks, the FG-15 features an internal piston mechanism located within the grip's mounting bolt. This piston directly actuates the trigger bar, offering a more integrated and potentially reliable solution for Gatling-style fire.

What materials are used in the Freedom Ordnance FG-15's construction?

The internal components of the FG-15 are made from durable 4140CM steel, treated with a QPQ finish for enhanced wear resistance. Machined parts are manufactured in the USA, while the ball bearings are sourced from Japan.

What are the operational modes of the Freedom Ordnance FG-15?

The FG-15 has three distinct operational modes: Locked, where the crank is stowed and secured; Neutral, allowing the crank to spin freely without firing; and Fire, which engages the trigger mechanism for Gatling-style shooting.

Is the Freedom Ordnance FG-15 compatible with all AR-15 triggers?

The FG-15 is designed to be compatible with most AR-15 triggers that feature an exposed trigger bar. Its internal piston mechanism interfaces directly with this component, making it adaptable to a wide range of trigger groups.
