How do binary triggers work?

A binary trigger works by using the reset action to fire another round. What’s that mean? When a regular trigger in a semiautomatic rifle resets, meaning returns to its original position after you fire one round, the mechanism resets and is ready for the user to pull the trigger again to fire another round.

A binary trigger uses the reset spring action to actually strike another cartridge. Your finger pulls the trigger, and the rifle fires a round. Then when your finger lets off the trigger, the rifle fires another round. Pull – Fire – Release – Fire – Pull – Fire – Release – Fire.

How do forced reset triggers work?

A forced reset trigger does exactly what its name implies. It forces the trigger to reset itself. It literally moves your finger forward as it resets. Therefore, if you maintain a constant pressure on the trigger, it will reset and then your pressure will pull it again. Pull-Fire-Pull-Fire-Pull-Fire.

Forced resets have built in “settings” (if it’s right to call them that) for single shot and for bypassing the rapid fire process. If you pull harder on the trigger than is necessary to fire a shot, it will fire one round, and then cease. Also, if you pull very lightly and release, you’ll only fire one round.
