3D animation of AR 15 Trigger functioning

[@waltertruenorth]

The best animation/description of how the single-stage AR trigger works. It helps identify the problem of disconnector on my AR trigger. Thank you for sharing this.

[@markforwalter5217]

Thank you!! This makes you appreciate the genius of those that designed these mechanisms! Great job making a complex event look simple!

[@armedwithinformation]

+mark forwalter I appreciate it. Thanks for Watching.

[@skanwank]

I liked the narration explaining the steps and functions. So many of these animations have no explanation. Very helpful.

[@armedwithinformation]

+Morgan Norman I appreciate it. Thanks for watching.

[@OverlyCuriousEngineer]

Thank you for this outstanding and simple explanation. There are many videos on youtube on this subject but they fail to make any sense. This one is just perfect.

[@allen4758]

Thank you. I have respect for people who do this so we can learn easier and better 👍

[@terrygower3424]

Excellent video also excellent narration by the creator

[@sethmartin1512]

This video helped me solve a big problem on the rifle I just built. Thank you!

[@armedwithinformation]

No problem. Glad it helped.

[@rrydinhigh2452]

thank you for sharing this! It really helped me understand the process. What is truly amazing to me, is how EXTREMELY fast, all the "things" happen. from the time we press the trigger, to the moment the bullet is speeding through the barrel, a LOT has transpired. The 1st action, and each subsequent reaction. so QUICK!!!

[@armedwithinformation]

+Reginald OLeary I'm amazed at how much has to go "right" for it to work properly. Thanks for watching.

[@TheDevilshandpuppet]

Great stuff ! not too talky gets straight to the point, very clear animation, unlike most of this kind of video, thanks and keep up the good work!

[@armedwithinformation]

Thank you; I appreciate it.

[@richards.mchardy3556]

great video and now I understand the concept better seeing it in animation

[@LatentForceTraining]

Great animation of the function of the trigger. Thank you for putting this together.

[@coreyhedges9573]

Very nicely presented, thank you for uploading. Studying various trigger groups right now and this was extremely helpful.

[@armedwithinformation]

Thanks, I appreciate it.

[@thedeathwobblechannel6539]

If your disconnect spring is damaged or wrong spring it will cause 2 to 3 round burst then stop. Be sure you correctly identify your magazine release spring and disconnect spring. They will interchange but are not the same spring . And get spare spring kit to keep in your shooting bag/case.

[@thedrdoug]

Thank you for helping me learn something new today. Good video.

[@armedwithinformation]

+Doug Falke Thanks; Glad I could help.

[@thedeathwobblechannel6539]

The click you hear when shooting is the disconnect releasing and sear re engaging as the trigger is released. It makes an obvious audible click.

[@darrenloper9406]

Very well done sir! Excellent narration.

Thanks. I appreciate you watching.

[@Bulsh1tMan]

Thanks for posting, always wonder how that hammer locks back up in semi-auto mode if the trigger was still held down. Now I know :).

[@armedwithinformation]

+Bulsh1tMan No Problem.

[@jujuqka]

Yes! Great video! Do the full auto plz!! Will share!

[@armedwithinformation]

[@jujuqka]

@bombbuster72 thnx either way, vry informational video!

[@prophit06]

So from this exact video I know for certain my problem is that the hammer is not releasing when I release the trigger. The sear is in too deep. Thanks.

[@benyahiamohamed9230]

Nice work 👍👍👍👍 Thank you

[@fin_jan]

My new trigger has a problem that when the bolt is locked back, pressing the hammer down, it raises the trigger bar too high to fully engage the safety. If the safety was already fully engaged and the bolt forces the hammer down, it creates undue stress on both the hammer pin and the trigger pin. Now I see where I can Dremmel some meat off the base of the hammer without affecting the safety or function of the trigger. Thanks!

[@boosipher683]

What would cause an ar trigger to allow you to put it in safe even when the hammer is not cocked for some reason having this issue and i know that's not normal

[@domineech]

Great video. Can you show how the binary trigger works on these?

[@sirkocipko9727]

So what do I gotta do? File out the cut out in the seer? 🤣

[@jgmramos]

Great animation. You could do another video with the same style of animation explaining the full auto mechanism.

[@SadethCheng]

When you put the selector on AUTO, it pushes the disconnector down so that it never engages with the hammer, allowing the hammer to spring forward as long as the trigger is pressed. Also, at the back trigger group is an auto sear that prevents the hammer from springing forward until the bolt carrier group is completely cycled (completely closed) during which the hammer will be released again and fire another round: kzbin.info/www/bejne/managXiCbdycpKs

[@thespazticator]

What happens if you file off the end of the disconnector?

[@Yourmomisbomb007]

Well hot damn y'all! I learned something today !!!

[@Solidbuilthomes]

When you release the trigger and the Disconnector releases the hammer, what is that loud, audible reset click? Is that the hammer slamming against the trigger sear "head"?

[@nicholasp884]

Ah the different colors make all the difference

[@brandons7272]

CAN ANYONEPLEASEHELP!?!?! Ok so with a ar-15 p80 in 556 and when the trigger goes forward it doesn't release from the first catch(hook) so the hammer is unabletobe released by pullingthetrigger... so its not together yet but the trigger assembly is in and when the hammer is pushed down it hooks but you either have to push the trigger forward a very small amount and it releases and resets allowing the hammer to drop when the trigger is pulled... it also works if the selector switch is moved from fire to right around half way to safe. At that point it releases resetting then you put the selector back on fire and it is able to fire...it only has to go half way not all the way to safe. this happens every time... so should be working correct? Or does the upper have to be on for it to work properly? Some people said they had this problem because of a small burr on the hook so it wouldn't reset until they sanded it down smooth. don't think that is the problem because it's already been sanded it down... does ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO FIX THIS AT ALL? PLEASE LET ME KNOW... Thought about getting a drop in style trigger but they're a little expensive right now. Not understanding why what is already here won't work... EVERYTHING was picked up at the same time from the same person and there was no shortage of people getting the same thing and MANY were coming back after a prior purchase not just first time buyers! Asking around everyone had nothing but good things to say about their prior purchases/builds. Please if anyone can help it would be HIGHLY APPRECIATED!!!

[@rafihussain]

Be safe. Thanks

[@brentfoto]

When one resets the trigger the audible 'click' sound is hammer engaged by the sear, is that correct? Disconnector makes no contribution to that sound other than getting out of the way for sear to engage? Thanks in advance.

[@gierhedd75]

Yep

[@vincegredo]

That was awesome thank you

[@johnhandley730]

So what you’re sayin is if I make a pice that pushes the disconnector back down I go to jail

[@armedwithinformation]

I'm not a lawyer or an ATF agent, but yes, there's a good chance.

[@wford1984]

did you make this yourself? Great job!

[@armedwithinformation]

Thanks; I did. I haven't done much recently, but I would still like to do a full auto setup and maybe an AK. There just isn't enough time in the day.

[@haystacksemporium7594]

Thanks, nice video.

[@StealthTheUnknown]

Very well done! What software did you use for this?

[@armedwithinformation]

***** Thanks. I did all of it using Blender 3D.

[@mattruth7109]

So does the hammer only ever make contact with the disconnector in that one place?

[@armedwithinformation]

As far as the disconnector, that's all that should make contact. It's job is to hold the hammer back until the trigger is released, allowing the sear to engage.

[@Christoph1888]

Would removing the disconnector effectively turn it into a full auto?

[@armedwithinformation]

Probably not. The hammer would "ride" the bolt carrier forward, and wouldn't likely have enough force to set off the primer.

[@SamuelEsios]

Tankz sir

[@MRNY845]

What would happen if you was to remove the disconnector

[@armedwithinformation]

One might think this would cause it to go full-auto, but it's just not the case. The disconnector allows that fraction of a second needed for the bolt carrier to travel forward and lock a new round in the breach, before you fire the next one. If the disconnector were gone, the hammer would ride the bolt carrier forward. This would not allow enough force on the firing pin to fire a round. If it did go auto, the ATF would have demanded a fix long before now. Instead, you would have continuous problems and would effectively have a single shot rifle, requiring you to reset the trigger after each round fired. I hope this helps; thanks for watching.

[@duaneshadd777]

Good evening I have a question when I put my selector switch on safety. There's no movement from the trigger when I put it on fire there's movement, question when I put in battery and put selector switch on safety trigger fires.

[@janetweed]

Well that makes my life easie

[@charlesferdinand422]

But what program you used to make this animations and what about the 3--round burst?

[@armedwithinformation]

I use Blender. It's free, but very capable. There is a steep learning curve on it, but once you get the keyboard shortcuts down, it's not bad.

[@libertardsbeware4180]

Three round burst is a gear on hammer and lever on trigger pin. When safety lever presses on lever and trigger is squeezed - lever takes gear and pulls it. On second round it again pulls gear. After third round gear cannot be pulled because of it’s shape so lever rises and presses on disconnector.

[@alanhardman2447]

Video is excellent, audio sucks. Turn it up! Thanks.

[@armedwithinformation]

Alan Hardman I've been thinking of re-doing it. Maybe it's time

[@nhan24471]

It is a great video, how the fu*k we have 7 people dislike it?

I guess some people just have to "hate" things...shallow, bitter, people. We call them Anti-gun people.

[@jimeastridge2345]

a friend has core AR,it double fires,ever 20 rounds,it's all factory??

[@gilwalters6363]

look for trigger pins to be loose (enlarged or egg shaped holes) also sear spring in wrong or missing. Or any other parts chipped or worn. If it continues you may be in trouble for having an unregistered machine gun. Do not continue use of this gun rather replace trigger group or if you cannot do this take to gunsmith.

[@videos4mydad]

Um....so if something breaks your AR15 could go full automatic until out of bullets!!!!

[@earlpittman2310]

Do you have this in a file that can bo opened by SolidWorks, like a .STEP file? If so, we'd like to purchase it from you. Please contact earl at impact weapons components. Thanks!

[@armedwithinformation]

I don't , but I'll see if I can convert it to a format that will work.

[@earlpittman2310]

Perfect! Thanks!

[@armedwithinformation]

I apologize for not getting back with you earlier. I had an external hard drive that was stolen and I can only assume that the original files were one there. I can re-make it, but I only dabble in computer modeling so it would take me some time to get it completed. If you don't need precise measurements, it could be done quite a bit faster. It would look right, but the dimensions would not be CNC ready. Again, I apologize for taking so long to get back with you.

[@earlpittman2310]

Ok, thanks for the info and trying to get the file. At this point, we'll look to create our own in SolidWorks. Thanks anyway!!!

Earl, if you are still on the search of this components in solidworks, contact me.

Did you get it fixed what was the problem?

Yeah I got it fixed I got close to six hundred rounds through it . I don't get to shoot as much as I like is part of the break-in. It thoroughly needed to be cleaned and I ran several Brands ammo through it no problem. Runs like a Singer sewing machine👍💪🇺🇸
