Push button safety with 2/3 cam surfaces and a reset lever allows you to shoot faster

dude seems like he is mimicking Lucas.

nevertheless, cool design and concept! I can see where this is going to follow the FRT trail...

Wow. So it's a sear that pulls the trigger for you, rather than releasing the hammer on an auto?

It looks to me like the shooter pulls the trigger after the safety is cammed back to a position that allows the trigger to be pulled.

I'm surprised someone has not made a device that wiggles a finger back and forth at a high rate and marketed as a marital aid.

Ready to see someone make metal versions of this

My mistake. As u hold the trigger to the rear it blocks the trigger until the forward moving carrier rotates the cam, clearing the trigger and allowing the trigger to pull. Possible for an early firing pin strike leading to oob?

Unless I missed something in the video, it seems like this is a variant of a forced-reset trigger. The return force is higher than the pull weight. Once you find the sweet-spot, you can apply enough pressure so that you overcome the pull weight, but not the reset. Maintaining constant pressure allows the mechanism to reset the trigger for you, which then automatically break once the mechanism resets, due to the pressure you're already applying. You're not moving your finger - you're just maintaining pressure. It's also similar in concept to "reactive triggers" that some paintball guns used.

I don't think you'll get an OOB discharge with an in-spec BCG. The design of the AR makes this extremely unlikely.

As far as the kid "imitating" Lucas Botkin (or whatever his name is), I think they're just both spergoloid nerds. A lot of them exhibit similar tone and diction. That's probably not for this subforum, though.

ARs almost never OOB without an out of spec part or foreign matter involved. Hammer follow and light strike is more likely.

Interesting variation of a forced reset trigger. I’m personally not a fan of the push button safety on an AR, but this design necessitates it. Can’t say I’ll ever own one, as I have true FA. But I applaud the ingenuity.
