Same here. I always knew he was going to make something that was going to be a game changer and a great success. Very talented. It sucks he has to "tread lightly" when he's absolutely doing nothing wrong! Mr.Hoffman for the people, and the people love him
Regardless of how you feel regarding legality or controversy of this, this is an incredibly intricate and impressive piece of engineering. Building around an existing system for a completely new function with minimal adjustment, beyond what can be argued as something like a regular "trigger job". Really interesting work, man.
where i live, in the UK, we don't have the range of firearms or accessibility for ownership (it can be done and i intend to go through the relevant processes at some point, but living near a shooting club and owning your own house makes it easier to install the requisite safes) but i do find the engineering interesting, so i'm glad the subject is more academically accessible than the old days of needing access to fairly niche books and/or working in the industry to see the internals.
What's mind-boggling to me is that we're casually witnessing on a youtube video an inventor of our generation, create a very clever design. Dude looks very young, too
Rapid fire has a role in self defense, fudds will disagree but they don't understand the reality of armored militant threats. These will likely become more common as society/the economy collapses.
This is great. The safety just turns on and off. Let the ATF add safeties to their list of machine guns, maybe they'll finally look stupid enough to convince normies that the ATF needs disbanding
Its not about "the ATF isn't stupid enough", its a communication problem. We don't communicate well enough, or at least as well as the legacy media/establishment, therefore normal people don't understand guns.
@@orppranator5230more like, it's impossible for our side to get out message out when the mainstream media is pushing certain agendas against our side.
One thing I think is *especially* ingenious is that you used the energy of the bolt **OPENING** to force-reset the trigger instead of the energy from the bolt closing to force-reset the trigger. That by itself is going to make this a far more reliable FRT than every other design we have seen so far because the recoil spring 1) has way less energy and 2) has to overcome the magazine spring. Bravo to you, sir. Bravo!
Not to mention the added leverage from the rotation of the cam. This seem to be far more efficient than a FRT, and this system would seem to work with any aftermarket trigger.
You influencer idiots are going to put Hoffman tactical on the fed radar just like you did the FRT trigger and unlike those guys this kid doesn't have a ton of money to pay for a legal defense and also he's probably not an SOT. This kid will end up in federal prison for this if you popularize it. But hey anything for a buck right?
The design is imparting force on components in areas that were not originally designed for it, hence the softer materials only lasting a few hundred rounds, there's also an amount of hand fitting to get to the point it's timed and functional. Durability and reliability would matter if it was going to be relied upon in life or death service. Definitely an amazing amount of engineering and creativity. The door has been opened with this outside the box thinking. 👍
The fact that you make your files public really shows that you work for the betterment of the gun community and not financial gain, and that is extremely commendable. The future of firearms is being carried by people like you, keep up the good work sir.
Wow, forcibly putting the safety on with the energy of the bolt carrier, then turning it off when the bolt is pretty much seated. Very impressive. Funny thing is you can actually demonstrate the same thing with a mil spec trigger group by forcibly turning the safety on while keeping trigger pressed after a dry shot. You just figured out how to incorporate the bolt. This is pretty cool
@@HoffmanTactical would it be possible to 3d print a stainless trigger with the cuts already made to engage with the super safety 3 cam version .and could we see one in the future?
@@leanbean8962 Yes its possible to print a trigger. I use entirely printed FCGs. But then again, I can also print metal. I've not tried to print one in plastic yet. The only thing needed is the STL file and a 3D printer capable of printing metal (over $20K for the kind I have). But if you have access to one like me, these STL files are very fun :) I also asked him to include a trigger also. Maybe he didnt think people would ask for it, idk. It might also be the way he's going to try to monetize it. That would kinda suck but I guess he has to pay for all those rounds somehow :P
@@riley9999999999 Easier said than done. Have you ever actually tried to use Solidworks? It's not like it's MS paint where you can just whip out the eraser and start hacking away. It doesnt work like that. It would take weeks just to learn how to do the task. And thats if you ALREADY have the trigger model, of which I have seen none. There are lots of STLs floating around that I have seen though. However I dont know of any apps that can modify an STL. I wouldnt doubt that Solidworks could probably import one.... but again, take eons just to learn how to do it probably. It's not what I would call an "intuitive" app. Its far to complicated and tasks which should be simple and quick are complicated and take 10x longer to learn than they should. I HATE solidworks. It's utter trash. I've already tried printing some of the triggers I did find, but none of them work with my metal disconnectors. They seem to fit, but when you put them in with a pin, the disconnector doesnt rock (even with no spring in it). So the trigger files I have found are obviously out of spec. If I can find one that actually functions properly, THEN I'll begin to try to modify the file :)

The RB FRT has advantages over the super safety. It’s biggest detractor is no 3-way selector coming standard (and mod kits are vaporware now).

For any wondering, it will not work with the FGC-9 Mk1. The attachment point for the upper and lower will not allow the lever to go back far enough to reset the trigger or let the bolt to slide all the way back.
One of the only tubers that I don’t need to modify playback speed to 1.5 or more. You’re already running at 1.5 speed naturally. By the way, great content. I prefer to build over buy to minimize any docs the TLA ( three letter acronym) types can get their dirty little hands on. And will definitely look at your design with great interest.
If they defined a machine gun as firing faster than a certain rpm, it’d be odd to see a colt single action army listed as a machine gun while an m3 grease gun wouldn’t be considered a machine gun lol
By that logic any semi auto with a reasonably fast action speed would be considered a machine gun. Which might be where they're going because they don't want us having anything. After they lost to the Taliban they seem to know that an armed population is a massive threat to them.
they are basically saying a continuous pull is a continuous pull it doesn't mater if the trigger is moving fwd. This is a super clever design not unlike the FRT-15 but they do essentially the same thing. They create the timed effect of an auto sear but instead of the BCG activating the sear it activates your depressed finger. I firmly believe the NFA should be repelled and machineguns should be legal. But under current framework and jurisprudence I doubt this will stand up.

While obvious to many of us that this is not a machine gun by lawful definition, some people are so frightened by guns that they're unwilling to gain the understanding of how the firearm works, in order to apply the lawful definition. The risk lies in the judges and jurors that this applies to.
Luckily we have Mr.Hoffman who has the patience and the smarts to sit there and break it down to the average person and i think that's probably what's going to end up happening
@@fieldy-8008 Bro he's going to end up breaking it down for a jury in federal court and that's bad fucking news because the average juror was too fucking stupid to get out of jury duty. This is going to ruin his life and he isn't even making money off the moment. You have no idea how fucked this guy is gonna end up. You can argue all day long this isn't a machine gun because the trigger moves every time but the feds aren't going to give a fuck just like they didn't give a fuck for the FRT.
@fieldy-8008 Exactly what happened to CRS. They had an excellent explanation and testimony from the ATFs own armorer backing up their explanation. Still guilty. The system is rigged, arguing your points is worthless in front of the federal govt, they will do what they want.
This is fucking genius. The creativity that went into this, wow! And then on top of that released for free. You are based beyond comprehension! Based king imo
ATF ~ "HT's Super Safety is a machine gun because it functions automatically by a "single continuous pull" of the trigger." Daniel O'Kelly ~ "The term "Pull" describes the physical attributes of the shooter, and what he or she does to initiate the "function" of the trigger." (Retired ATF/ Subject matter expert) 5th Circuit Court~ ""The statute does not care what human input is required to activate the trigger-it cares only whether more than one shot is fired each time the trigger acts." (Clarifying the statutory definition of a machine gun. Cargill V Garland decision.)
This is such great work man, thank you for doing this. With so much talk about gun safety, we need more people who are actually redesigning the safety ON the gun, to make it more safe...super safe. Imagine how much safer people will be when the safety resets not just once before shooting, but every single time a bullet goes down range.
hope you make this out of a softer metal than your receiver. that thing spinning with force over and over again in the safety hole is going to bore it out and eventually itll be loose in there.
Harder and polished would be better. Softer will gall. If the receiver is anodized and lubricated it should be fine for a while. If desired, press oilite bushings in the receiver for the hardened SS to ride in.
Damn, Ive thought about frt triggers before and this is a really smart design. Very simple and it basically uses an almost stock AR 15 design. Only concern might be wallowing out the selector hole overtime, but probably not a big deal if it's even a problem. Fantastic. Even if it's somehow not legal, it's easier to make than an auto sear, and probably more reliable than a lightining link.
I’m not sure about it being easier than an auto sear. Either way at least it’s not a part that is readily installable on a standard AR 15. I think this is a benefit.
I love you! This is what Americans do invent! Looking at your 3D prints your layers look to run horizontally at the cam lobes. That may wear them faster than if they were run vertically. Also I’ve played around with parts quality printing and 100% fill usually leads to deformation, play around with your printer and materials but I’ve found 98% fill is actually stronger and more wear resistant
It doesn't really matter though. It only occurs when the gun is cycling and this is only when the action is open, meaning that it doesn't really add safety at all.
LOVE THE CREATION and also love how you introduce the super safety and literally the full functionallity, the transparency is very refreshing :) i hope your dogs don't unalive, and that you have a smooth process in your product and you get the credit you deserve
I work in manufacturing, though I'm not an engineer: casting is a really easy way to make metal parts with incredible tolerances, assuming you're not using sand molds. Die casting is off the table too because of the high cost, but INVESTMENT CASTING can be done with a 3D printed model and a plaster mold. Of course you're limited to non-ferrous metals like brass or aluminum or another alloy, but at least it's not nylon. If done correctly, no machining will be needed besides cutting off the gate/sprue and some polishing. If it were somehow possible to print in UHMWPE or Delrin, it seems like they'd make for highly wear resistant components. Maybe even regular HDPE?
Due to the sheer forces involved in a firearm... you don't want to use a print... the layer adhesion between each layer is a print's weak point and will inevitably cause it to disintegrate sooner rather than later, regardless of what plastic you use.
Hope the ATF doesn't end up banning this by name soon but seeing how they're getting pissy about FRTs I don't see this being unregulated in terms of laws for long. I hope it stays under the radar and you don't get federally screwed over.
I’d like to formally request your permission to provide a visual explanation of the mechanism and how it works. I make videos explaining various trigger stuff, mostly 3-round burst kits and stuff I’ve thought of/odd stuff I find interesting. I even have my own take on a 3-position forced reset mechanism inspired by one of your previous forced reset triggers. This super safety is pretty cool work dude 😎

As an engineer, and it designer, you are very talented. I have been watching your show since you first aired, and I can honestly say that over the years you have truly become very talented individual. I am beyond impressed.
Same here. I always knew he was going to make something that was going to be a game changer and a great success. Very talented. It sucks he has to "tread lightly" when he's absolutely doing nothing wrong! Mr.Hoffman for the people, and the people love him

Regardless of how you feel regarding legality or controversy of this, this is an incredibly intricate and impressive piece of engineering. Building around an existing system for a completely new function with minimal adjustment, beyond what can be argued as something like a regular "trigger job". Really interesting work, man.
@@imissyoumom7644 no way in Hell
where i live, in the UK, we don't have the range of firearms or accessibility for ownership (it can be done and i intend to go through the relevant processes at some point, but living near a shooting club and owning your own house makes it easier to install the requisite safes) but i do find the engineering interesting, so i'm glad the subject is more academically accessible than the old days of needing access to fairly niche books and/or working in the industry to see the internals.
Yeah it is ingenious. I can see you can also modify that design to work with lever safeties.
What's mind-boggling to me is that we're casually witnessing on a youtube video an inventor of our generation, create a very clever design. Dude looks very young, too
What legality issue? He FULLY DEMONSTRATED THAT IT REQUIRES ONE TRIGGER PER SHOT. Stop with the wishy washy shit, fed boi

Rapid fire has a role in self defense, fudds will disagree but they don't understand the reality of armored militant threats. These will likely become more common as society/the economy collapses.
Whoever replied to this comment is shadowbanned.
This is great. The safety just turns on and off. Let the ATF add safeties to their list of machine guns, maybe they'll finally look stupid enough to convince normies that the ATF needs disbanding
Fucken gold! That made my day literally
the shoe string machine gun didn't do it for ya?
Its not about "the ATF isn't stupid enough", its a communication problem. We don't communicate well enough, or at least as well as the legacy media/establishment, therefore normal people don't understand guns.
They will, and 80% of the public is going to agree with them unfortunately.
@@orppranator5230more like, it's impossible for our side to get out message out when the mainstream media is pushing certain agendas against our side.
One thing I think is *especially* ingenious is that you used the energy of the bolt **OPENING** to force-reset the trigger instead of the energy from the bolt closing to force-reset the trigger. That by itself is going to make this a far more reliable FRT than every other design we have seen so far because the recoil spring 1) has way less energy and 2) has to overcome the magazine spring.
Bravo to you, sir. Bravo!
Not to mention the added leverage from the rotation of the cam. This seem to be far more efficient than a FRT, and this system would seem to work with any aftermarket trigger.
All this needs to be milled out of steal for sure. I think is has a future.
Dude, this is fascinating. I'm going to cover this on TGC News for sure. Would love to get you on our podcast as a guest if you're interested.
NOW KITH.
I love to see guntubers Collab.
I've been following it for awhile!
Good seeing you here TGC. You need more go fast content. 😎
Glad to see you putting a focus on men who are leading the way.
You influencer idiots are going to put Hoffman tactical on the fed radar just like you did the FRT trigger and unlike those guys this kid doesn't have a ton of money to pay for a legal defense and also he's probably not an SOT. This kid will end up in federal prison for this if you popularize it.
But hey anything for a buck right?
It is so incredibly simple, and thats highly impressive engineering. I am honestly surprised that other people making FRT's did not go this route.
The design is imparting force on components in areas that were not originally designed for it, hence the softer materials only lasting a few hundred rounds, there's also an amount of hand fitting to get to the point it's timed and functional. Durability and reliability would matter if it was going to be relied upon in life or death service. Definitely an amazing amount of engineering and creativity. The door has been opened with this outside the box thinking. 👍
@aperfectcircle008 I could see a roller bearing on the lever bar would take care of wear between the bolt and bar.
One of the things I love about engineering is how many different ways there are to make the same thing happen. I have always found this fascinating.
It's a more complicated lightning link, real men don't ask for permission.
The fact that you make your files public really shows that you work for the betterment of the gun community and not financial gain, and that is extremely commendable. The future of firearms is being carried by people like you, keep up the good work sir.
Dude, this is some ingenious engineering. The world needs more people like you!!
Wow, forcibly putting the safety on with the energy of the bolt carrier, then turning it off when the bolt is pretty much seated. Very impressive. Funny thing is you can actually demonstrate the same thing with a mil spec trigger group by forcibly turning the safety on while keeping trigger pressed after a dry shot. You just figured out how to incorporate the bolt. This is pretty cool
Exactly ;)
@@HoffmanTactical would it be possible to 3d print a stainless trigger with the cuts already made to engage with the super safety 3 cam version .and could we see one in the future?
1920’s Botkin.
@@leanbean8962 Yes its possible to print a trigger. I use entirely printed FCGs. But then again, I can also print metal. I've not tried to print one in plastic yet. The only thing needed is the STL file and a 3D printer capable of printing metal (over $20K for the kind I have). But if you have access to one like me, these STL files are very fun :) I also asked him to include a trigger also. Maybe he didnt think people would ask for it, idk. It might also be the way he's going to try to monetize it. That would kinda suck but I guess he has to pay for all those rounds somehow :P
@@riley9999999999 Easier said than done. Have you ever actually tried to use Solidworks? It's not like it's MS paint where you can just whip out the eraser and start hacking away. It doesnt work like that. It would take weeks just to learn how to do the task. And thats if you ALREADY have the trigger model, of which I have seen none. There are lots of STLs floating around that I have seen though. However I dont know of any apps that can modify an STL. I wouldnt doubt that Solidworks could probably import one.... but again, take eons just to learn how to do it probably. It's not what I would call an "intuitive" app. Its far to complicated and tasks which should be simple and quick are complicated and take 10x longer to learn than they should. I HATE solidworks. It's utter trash. I've already tried printing some of the triggers I did find, but none of them work with my metal disconnectors. They seem to fit, but when you put them in with a pin, the disconnector doesnt rock (even with no spring in it). So the trigger files I have found are obviously out of spec. If I can find one that actually functions properly, THEN I'll begin to try to modify the file :)
So, basically this is your version of a forced reset trigger that employs the safety in order to work. Brilliant!
Very interesting. Excited to see the video when it premieres

The RB FRT has advantages over the super safety. It’s biggest detractor is no 3-way selector coming standard (and mod kits are vaporware now). Also, RB has their faults but they are still taking the fight to the ATF/DOJ more than anyone in regards to FRT technology so I don’t think we should demonize them
As soon as the lever that joins the BCG w/ the safety were mentioned, I got it… Good job, man. Wish you success in this space.
Ok so you push it to the right, it fires like it normally should. But you push it to the middle and it still fires like it should. Great

I love the wording that basically markets it to the law. Very technically accurate too.
For any wondering, it will not work with the FGC-9 Mk1. The attachment point for the upper and lower will not allow the lever to go back far enough to reset the trigger or let the bolt to slide all the way back.

The ATF must be shiting their pants right now
If they defined a machine gun as firing faster than a certain rpm, it’d be odd to see a colt single action army listed as a machine gun while an m3 grease gun wouldn’t be considered a machine gun lol
By that logic any semi auto with a reasonably fast action speed would be considered a machine gun. Which might be where they're going because they don't want us having anything. After they lost to the Taliban they seem to know that an armed population is a massive threat to them.
😂
@@GenerikUsertaking disarmament to a different level 😮
they are basically saying a continuous pull is a continuous pull it doesn't mater if the trigger is moving fwd. This is a super clever design not unlike the FRT-15 but they do essentially the same thing. They create the timed effect of an auto sear but instead of the BCG activating the sear it activates your depressed finger.
I firmly believe the NFA should be repelled and machineguns should be legal. But under current framework and jurisprudence I doubt this will stand up.

While obvious to many of us that this is not a machine gun by lawful definition, some people are so frightened by guns that they're unwilling to gain the understanding of how the firearm works, in order to apply the lawful definition. The risk lies in the judges and jurors that this applies to.
Luckily we have Mr.Hoffman who has the patience and the smarts to sit there and break it down to the average person and i think that's probably what's going to end up happening
@@fieldy-8008 Bro he's going to end up breaking it down for a jury in federal court and that's bad fucking news because the average juror was too fucking stupid to get out of jury duty. This is going to ruin his life and he isn't even making money off the moment. You have no idea how fucked this guy is gonna end up. You can argue all day long this isn't a machine gun because the trigger moves every time but the feds aren't going to give a fuck just like they didn't give a fuck for the FRT.
@fieldy-8008 Exactly what happened to CRS. They had an excellent explanation and testimony from the ATFs own armorer backing up their explanation. Still guilty. The system is rigged, arguing your points is worthless in front of the federal govt, they will do what they want.

What matters to them is the end result - the rate of fire. Not how it's produced.

This is fucking genius. The creativity that went into this, wow! And then on top of that released for free. You are based beyond comprehension! Based king imo
ATF ~ "HT's Super Safety is a machine gun because it functions automatically by a "single continuous pull" of the trigger."
Daniel O'Kelly ~ "The term "Pull" describes the physical attributes of the shooter, and what he or she does to initiate the "function" of the trigger." (Retired ATF/ Subject matter expert)
5th Circuit Court~ ""The statute does not care what human input is required to activate the trigger-it cares only whether more than one shot is fired each time the trigger acts." (Clarifying the statutory definition of a machine gun. Cargill V Garland decision.)

This is such great work man, thank you for doing this. With so much talk about gun safety, we need more people who are actually redesigning the safety ON the gun, to make it more safe...super safe. Imagine how much safer people will be when the safety resets not just once before shooting, but every single time a bullet goes down range.

Would really love to see someone who has never used a firearm with a safety of this type try and use it.

Hide your dogs.
no... arm your dogs.. they deserve protection too.
hope you make this out of a softer metal than your receiver. that thing spinning with force over and over again in the safety hole is going to bore it out and eventually itll be loose in there.
Harder and polished would be better. Softer will gall. If the receiver is anodized and lubricated it should be fine for a while. If desired, press oilite bushings in the receiver for the hardened SS to ride in.
Mr. Hoffman you are on a path to modern day legend. Keep up the good work brother
Love everything you do, Hoffman. Truly innovative engineering
Damn, Ive thought about frt triggers before and this is a really smart design. Very simple and it basically uses an almost stock AR 15 design. Only concern might be wallowing out the selector hole overtime, but probably not a big deal if it's even a problem. Fantastic. Even if it's somehow not legal, it's easier to make than an auto sear, and probably more reliable than a lightining link.
I’m not sure about it being easier than an auto sear. Either way at least it’s not a part that is readily installable on a standard AR 15. I think this is a benefit.
I love you! This is what Americans do invent!
Looking at your 3D prints your layers look to run horizontally at the cam lobes. That may wear them faster than if they were run vertically. Also I’ve played around with parts quality printing and 100% fill usually leads to deformation, play around with your printer and materials but I’ve found 98% fill is actually stronger and more wear resistant
the simple fact alone that the gun can put itself into the safe position after firing is insanely awesome and should be the standard.
It doesn't really matter though. It only occurs when the gun is cycling and this is only when the action is open, meaning that it doesn't really add safety at all.
@@printingwithpeek4897 the technicalities SHOULD matter to the government. But we'll have to see about that.
@KyanoReal Yea, I know. I really hope after August 4th they slap the hell out of them with those EPA precedents.

I work in manufacturing, though I'm not an engineer: casting is a really easy way to make metal parts with incredible tolerances, assuming you're not using sand molds. Die casting is off the table too because of the high cost, but INVESTMENT CASTING can be done with a 3D printed model and a plaster mold. Of course you're limited to non-ferrous metals like brass or aluminum or another alloy, but at least it's not nylon. If done correctly, no machining will be needed besides cutting off the gate/sprue and some polishing.
If it were somehow possible to print in UHMWPE or Delrin, it seems like they'd make for highly wear resistant components. Maybe even regular HDPE?
Due to the sheer forces involved in a firearm... you don't want to use a print... the layer adhesion between each layer is a print's weak point and will inevitably cause it to disintegrate sooner rather than later, regardless of what plastic you use.
Hope the ATF doesn't end up banning this by name soon but seeing how they're getting pissy about FRTs I don't see this being unregulated in terms of laws for long. I hope it stays under the radar and you don't get federally screwed over.
Can't stop the signal.
The Chevon Doctrine was torn apart by the Supreme Court, so if they do try something they will easily loose and they know this.
The right of the people to keep and bear arms unless banned by name by the ATF... hmm... doesn't sound quite right.
You sir are a genius that we need to protect at all cost.
