Colion Noir provides an expert-level breakdown of the Rare Breed FRT, demonstrating its rapid semi-automatic fire capabilities on a custom Sig Sauer MCX Rattler LT. He details the trigger's mechanics, compares it to other firearm systems like the B&T TP9, and discusses its utility in defensive scenarios. The video also touches upon tactical gear, including the G-Code Scorpion Assaulter belt and holster system, and highlights the maintenance considerations associated with high-volume shooting.

Quick Summary

The Rare Breed FRT uses firearm recoil to reset the trigger forward, enabling rapid semi-automatic fire. This mechanism allows for a high rate of shot delivery, functioning as a force multiplier in defensive scenarios, but requires increased maintenance due to higher component wear and heat generation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Forced Reset Trigger (FRT)?

A Forced Reset Trigger (FRT) is a semi-automatic trigger mechanism that uses the firearm's recoil to push the trigger forward. This allows the shooter to achieve a very high rate of fire by continuously pulling the trigger, as it resets instantly with each shot, while still functioning as a legal semi-automatic firearm.

How does the Rare Breed FRT differ from a standard semi-automatic trigger?

Unlike a standard semi-automatic trigger that requires the shooter to release the trigger to reset it, the FRT uses recoil to push the trigger forward. This mechanical advantage allows for an immediate second pull, significantly increasing the rate of fire while maintaining the one-shot-per-pull legal definition of a semi-automatic firearm.

What are the practical implications of using an FRT in a defensive scenario?

The rapid semi-automatic fire capability of an FRT can serve as a significant force multiplier in a defensive situation. The volume and sound of fire can be a deterrent, and the speed allows for faster engagement of multiple targets or threats.

What maintenance considerations are important when using an FRT?

High-speed shooting enabled by an FRT generates increased heat and wear on firearm components, particularly the bolt and suppressor. This necessitates more frequent cleaning and inspection to ensure reliability and longevity of the firearm.
