I used to be really into paintball when I was younger, and when I got into real shooting I desired to have a product like this. I mean who doesn’t want to shoot faster at some point?
The problem is that even with a paintball marker this type of system causes in inherent safety risk. A very light trigger pull with a long fulcrum of a trigger attached to it can easily be tripped if the marker (or firearm!!!) is dropped.
I fear that this product’s design, coupled with it’s intended demographic, will lead to negligent discharges. I just pray no one gets hurt.
Well, the brady bunch should be happy. Some fool actually has produced a “spray fire” trigger.
And yeah, I’ve played enough paintball to know. Double triggers are for spraying. You can at least stabilize a marker enough to overcome the recoil, especially on an electronic marker. For an AR? Spray and pray.
I can’t wait until the folks at LCAV, or Legal Community Against Gun Ownership, or whatever they are calling themselves these days, try to figure out how to legally differentiate this from traditional double barrel shotguns.
This would be a great parody video of tacticool BS … if it weren’t an actual product. I’ll second tincankilla’s comment about “control.” For a minute there I thought it was April 1st, and that this was just a joke.
About five to ten times the price for what a simpler butterfly trigger modification could cost. Aside from that the critics of its usefulness are all wet.
What this trigger system does is simulate a full-auto level rate of fire. And as for control it is better than real full auto fire. Because each shot requires a trigger pull the rate of fire can be as fast or as slow as the shooter feels he can control, rather than be slaved to the full 750+ RPM cyclic rate of a true full auto M-16. With this modified trigger it should be easy to simulate a cyclic rate of fire of 500 RPM which is about ideal for automatic fire.
An HBAR with an appropriate bipod and this trigger system would be almost the tactical equivalent of the USMC M-27, when fired from the prone bipod position.
I didn’t know that Omar the Tentmaker was sewing tactical clothing these days….
BTW, weren’t fanning triggers (paddle triggers) around a generation ago? I recall seeing one on a Remington Nylon 66 at an NRA convention back in the late 1950’s. In the demo, the factory rep dumped the entire 14-round fixed magazine downrange in under 2 seconds.

1:26, look at that generic tactifool drop leg holster.
Basically they took a paintball concept and put it in an AR. Nothing really new there guys.

Unlike a paintball gun, an AR is accurate.
So I have one question….WHY?
(yes, I know….. $$$)

Way, way overpriced…interesting concept, …provided, as is mentioned above, there’s enough safety factor to prevent accidental discharge.
$0.59 worth of material and fabrication, $259 for “Gee don’t I look uber-tactikool with this on my gun.”

love how the ex-cop says “I have so much control” as the barrel of his rifle is bouncing several inches up and down as he’s firing.

From the comments at Youtube, the video has been dubbed to make the item sound “better.”

What are the odds of all the product testers having the same weird spastic palsy in their right hands?

I goes to 11!

Why not use a push forward type set trigger? Like those found on many Euro style hunting rifles (e.g. BRNO/CZ)
Oh, not immediately visible.
Silly me.
