- Initialism of forced-reset trigger.
- 2023 September 5, Hannah Rabinowitz, “Federal judge issues temporary injunction barring companies from selling machine gun conversion device”, in CNN[1]:
- According to prosecutors, Rare Breed Triggers, LLC and Rare Breed Firearms, LLC, and their owners Lawrence DeMonico and Kevin Maxwell, knew that FRT-15s made a weapon qualify as machine guns under federal law. […] “Yet Defendants’ deliberate decision to bypass that process with the FRT-15,” Morrison wrote, “indicates that Defendants declined to seek ATF classification of the FRT-15 and instead simply assure RBT’s customers that the device was ‘legal’ precisely because they knew that allowing ATF to examine their device before bringing it to market might kill their proverbial golden goose.”
- 2025 May 17, Max Rego, “Device that makes semi-automatic rifles fire quicker allowed by Trump administration”, in CNN[2]:
- Forced-reset triggers (FRT) allow a semi-automatic rifle to be fired at an increased rate by automatically resetting the trigger after each shot. […] The DOJ also said the settlement includes “agreed-upon conditions” concerning public safety with respect to FRTs, including that Rare Breed will not develop or design FRTs for use in any pistol and will enforce its patents.
