🚳 Will It Cycle? Binary Trigger vs. 9mm, .22LR, 5.56/2.23 ... #ar15

Published on October 8, 2023
Duration: 1:00

This video from AT3 Tactical tests the cycling reliability of a binary trigger across three common AR-15 platforms: 5.56/.223, 9mm, and a .22LR conversion. The instructor demonstrates that the binary trigger functions flawlessly in all tested configurations, firing one round on trigger pull and another on release. The test highlights the versatility of binary triggers and their compatibility with various calibers and AR-style systems.

Quick Summary

A binary trigger fires one round on pull and another on release, enabling faster firing than semi-auto. This AT3 Tactical test confirmed a binary trigger's reliable cycling across AR-15 platforms in 5.56/.223, 9mm, and .22LR, with no malfunctions observed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a binary trigger and how does it work?

A binary trigger fires one round when the trigger is pulled and a second round when the trigger is released. This mechanism allows for a faster rate of fire compared to semi-automatic triggers, but it is not a fully automatic machine gun.

Does a binary trigger work with different AR-15 calibers?

Yes, this test demonstrated that a binary trigger can reliably cycle in AR-15 platforms chambered in 5.56/.223, 9mm, and even with a .22LR conversion kit, showing broad compatibility.

Are there any reliability issues with binary triggers in AR-15s?

In this specific test by AT3 Tactical, the binary trigger experienced no malfunctions across 5.56/.223, 9mm AR, and .22LR AR conversion platforms, indicating excellent reliability.

Can a binary trigger be used with a .22LR AR conversion kit?

Surprisingly, yes. The test showed that a CMMG .22LR AR conversion kit cycled perfectly with the binary trigger, overcoming potential compatibility issues often seen with lighter rimfire rounds.
