Video: Pull Once, Shoot Twice with the Bi-Directional Trigger
OutdoorHub Reporters 09.08.14
Want new ways to empty your rifle’s magazine faster? Meet the Bi-Directional Trigger by Liberty Gun Works. True to its name, any firearm coupled with the trigger will fire once when the trigger is pulled, and fire another shot when the trigger is released—allowing for quick double taps.
The trigger allows firearms to fire faster, but is not classified as part of an automatic weapon because it still fires only one round with each pull of the trigger. At least that is what the designers are hoping for. Unfortunately, Liberty Gun Works is not offering the bi-directional trigger for individual sale just yet. Instead, the trigger is packaged with the “Liberator” AR-style carbine or pistol, which each retails for $2,400. According to guns.com, the trigger also comes with only two modes: safe and bi-directional. There is no “regular” mode, so potential customers should be extra aware when taking their finger off the trigger. Both the standard carbine and pistol versions come in 7.62x39mm, although Liberty Gun Works also makes the same firearms chambered in 5.56x45mm, for a thousand bucks less.
What do you think? Would you buy one of these guns?
