Picture this. I come screaming up into the truck. Round of dyes over. Door flies open. I hop out with this tiny 6h hour rattler. And the second I smash that trigger, it sounds like somebody dumped an entire war zone into a Bluetooth speaker.
[clears throat] And here's the thing, this is not full auto. This is semi-auto with a rare breed force reset trigger in it. And I'm going to be real with you. This is one of the weirdest, most addicting things I have shot in a long time.
I've shot real full auto before when I first got into guns. It escalated pretty quickly, actually. I went from shooting my first gun to buying four guns in a month to dumping mags of full auto like I was trying to speedrun bankruptcy. You see, full auto on paper is stupid simple. It's literally just whole trigger gun go until you let go or you're broke. It shouldn't be that fascinating. It's just a speed ramp for gun.
But once something gets restricted, it suddenly becomes forbidden fruit. So when I kept hearing about these force reset triggers, I was like, "So you're telling me there's a way to run semi-auto this fast?" All right, I need to try it. I never actually shot one until [music] now.
You see, this isn't mine. This belongs to my boy Cody. You probably seen him on my podcast episode that I did with him not too long ago. He's like kind of like a mad scientist of rifle builds. If Picasso built SBS, it would look like the stuff Cody brings to the range. His Sig MCX Rattler LT build is pure sex. Look at this. Pure sex. Every time he shows up with a gun, my wallet starts crying.
So, when he tells me he put a rare breed FRT into his Rattler, I just stared at him because the FRT isn't designed for that gun. is not designed for this like at all. And Cody just smiles like a kid who knows he shouldn't have eaten the cookies but did anyway. He goes, "Yeah, but it runs for the most part." [laughter]
So I try it. You see, full auto again, one trigger pull, many shots. Force reset trigger, many trigger pulls, many shots. Just really, really fast. The gun fires. The recoil slaps the trigger forward. Your finger pulls again instantly. Still one shot per pull. Still semi-auto, just faster than your brain thinks your finger can move. The first time I let it off, I was like, "Ooh, okay. This isn't full auto, but it damn sure damn sure smells full auto."
And in a defensive context, people love TO ASK, >> WHY WOULD a civilian need something like that? >> Hear me out. Imagine four dudes kicking in your door. You can send one round at a time and hope it convinces them to rethink their life choices. Or you can send controlled stupid fast bursts of 300 black out their way and let the animal part of their brain do the math. H my chance of dying just multiplied by five. Yeah, I'm out of here. That sound alone, I would argue is a force multiplier. And that's before we even talk about how disgusting gross this little Rattler setup is.
All right. Now, real quick before we keep going, because I know somebody's already typing, um, uh, say Cole, why are you wearing a whole ass war belt today? Well, look, normally I'm very like my pants can hold it just fine kind of a guy. Hey yo, what the I like to feel free. I like to move. I don't want to feel like I'm smuggling a small tire around my waist, but but every now and then I'll throw on a belt setup that actually makes shooting more fun. And that's this G-code Scorpion asster.
Now, I'm not going to do the whole this is the greatest thing ever engineered kind of mankind type [ __ ] You can see it for yourself in the damn B-roll. What I will say is the stuff on this belt stays where you put it. The mag pouches, whether it's pistol, rifle, they hold on to your mags like they paid for them. But the best part, getting the mags back in isn't a wrestling match. Some gear makes you feel like you're trying to reholster a frozen fish. These just glide in like, "Oh, you meant to put that here." Cool. Welcome home, bro.
Now, let me talk about my favorite part of this whole, the holster. I'm running a G-code level three retention holster, and I'm not even joking. It's basically a fidget toy for gun people like me. See, there's this push button mechanism that drops the retention lever so you can draw. And I swear I could sit here clicking this thing all day long. It's like the tactical version of a pin clicker. But drawing from it, man, it's freaking tactile. It feels like operating machinery. It's like the difference between driving an automatic and driving a stick shift where you feel the gears engage. Is it extra? Yeah, absolutely. Do I love it? Absolutely. And the belt itself, the operator's belt, it just stays put. I'm moving, running drills, getting in and out of the truck, and it's not doing that sad little rotate around your waist thing cheap belts do. It just stays where I put it. Plus, their stuff is made in the US and backed by lifetime warranty, which is basically G-code saying if you find a way to break this, that's our problem.
So, if you're thinking about getting into a belt setup or you just want something that makes training a little more fun, check out the Scorpion Assalter system at G-Code. I'm put a link in the description section so you can do all that crap.
All right, now back to this. As sexy as this little setup is, the thing that surprised me the most wasn't the optic height or the suppressor or even how compact it is. It was the trigger experience. Of course, let me explain by comparing it to something that is not a good trigger experience. This, my BNT TP9.
Now, the TP9 was born to be full auto. The original version is a full auto gun. my version right here. This is a semi-auto version. You can only get this as a civilian gun. But here's the problem. It still had the full auto trigger, which means it was never meant to give you a nice semi-auto pull. It was never meant to break clean. It was never meant to reset cleanly because in full auto, none of that matters. You just hold the trigger and let the gun do its thing. So, on my civilian TP9, that trigger feels heavy and gritty and mushy. Just gross. I even said it in the first video I did on it. It just is not good. It is long, heavy, and squishy, which actually makes sense considering it's a trigger design for full auto fire and not rapid pulls of the trigger from people who aren't allowed to own the full auto versions, which [music] is called what? The M9. Not a good trigger.
Now, the first time I pulled it, I genuinely felt offended. Like, what did I do to deserve this? I had to spend stupid money just to get an upgrade. This guy right here, just to upgrade my semi-auto trigger to make it halfway decent. Actually, it's actually really decent. It's It's actually really really good, as a matter of fact.
Now, compare that to the Rare Breed trigger. With most force reset triggers, you assume, okay, the force reset part is cool, but the semi-autopull is going to be trash. Not here. The Rare Breed feels like a good trigger first and a force reset trigger second. In regular semi-auto, it's crisp. It's thin. It feels high quality. It's not sacrificing a good semi-auto trigger just to get FRT capability. And that surprised me in a very good way.
Now, explaining FRT triggers for those that don't really know. So, I want you to imagine a doorbell. Normal trigger, press the button, light turns on, finger comes all the way off, press again. Force reset trigger. Press the button. Light turns on. A tiny robot hand smacks your finger back so fast. You're ready to press again instantly. The robot hand does not press the button for you. You still press it every single time. It just resets so fast. The semi-auto starts acting like semi-auto with ADHD. That that is a force reset trigger. Nothing more magical than that.
Now, how does this shoot? The thing that impressed me most was how controlled it was. Not for mag dump graffiti, for burst. Press, release, press. Happiness. Now, once you find the rhythm, it runs so damn smooth. Old FRTs, they were kind of like early single clutch supercars. Jerky, unpredictable, desperate for you to mess up. Ready? >> Newer ones. They're like Porsche PDK. Smooth, fast, predictable, and incredibly satisfying. And on a platform designed to handle it, not this Rattler science experiment. I can absolutely see it being a legitimate defensive tool. Possibly, maybe, sort of. This was not designed to have a force reset trigger in it. How Cody managed to make it run to the degree that it does, hey, that's none of my business.
Nonetheless, I'm wondering, you know what? And I'm going to do that. I'm going to take I'm going to get a force reset trigger. I'm going to put it in a regular AR and then I'm going to come back with a video.
Now, a couple of things you also have to keep in mind. With faster shooting, that means you get a hotter gun, which means more wear. More heat on the suppressor, faster cycling on the bolt, more rounds, and less time down the barrel. This isn't free. You don't get performance without paying for performance. But the fun to dollar ratio off the charts.
Where this really really could get disrespectful is when force reset triggers become standardized for pistol caliber carb things. Soft recoil, cheap ammo, fast cycling. Give me an FRT and a well tuned 9mm PCC and it's basically god mode. And you better believe I'm going to test that the second I get my hands on one.
So, to wrap this up, the Rare Breed FRT isn't a machine gun. It is a clever trigger that resets itself really fast. One pull equals one shot, just a lot of pulls very quickly. And the wrong gun, finicky, but fun. And the right gun, potentially serious capability, and yes, absurdly satisfying. If your thought is, why would anyone need that? You asking the wrong question. The real question is, why should only people with government paychecks be allowed to access this level of performance? Because after shooting this thing, I get it. I get it.
If you want a dedicated video just on this Rattler build alone, just let me know because this little thing deserves its own spotlight. Oh, one more thing before you go. I know you see it on the hat, the F AFO. Yeah, right now available at shop.mmrcolon.com. I'm put a link in the description section of this video so you can go check out the hats.
