Unleash Your AR-15's True Potential with Wide Open Triggers (WOT)
Welcome to WOT15 Triggers Inc, the origianal producer of the Wide Open Trigger (WOT) for AR-15 rifles. Our WOT Trigger is designed to elevate your rifle’s performance without compromising safety
Why WOT Beats Other Trigger Types
Standard Triggers offer basic reliability, but limit speed. Binary Triggers fire on pull and release but are under stricter regulation. WOT Triggers provide the best of both—fast reset, legal classification, and reliable performance.
What Are WOT Triggers?
WOT (Wide Open Triggers) are advanced forced-reset triggers that improve your shooting speed and responsiveness. Unlike standard or binary triggers, WOT triggers reset mechanically after each shot, allowing for a faster trigger cycle without automatic fire. Each round still requires a manual trigger pull, making them compliant under current federal guidelines.
These triggers mimic full-auto rates of fire without crossing the legal line, thanks to a reset system that pushes the trigger forward after each discharge.
Why Choose WOT Trigger?
- Increased Shooting Speed: Reduces reset time and allows for faster follow-up shots.
- 100% Mechanical Reset: No batteries, no electronics purely mechanical.
- Semi-Auto Legal: Classified as semi-automatic under federal law.
- Drop-In Design: Easy to install with basic tools and minimal gunsmithing.
- Durability & Quality: Crafted from hardened steel and rated for high-volume use.
Our Mission

We stay updated on the latest ATF rulings, manufacturer changes, and court decisions so you can shop and shoot with confidence.
How Does a WOT Trigger Work?
A WOT trigger uses a mechanical forced-reset system that rapidly pushes the trigger forward after each shot. Once the rifle fires and the bolt cycles, the trigger resets automatically, allowing you to fire again with minimal delay. Despite its speed, the system still requires a separate trigger pull for each shot, keeping it compliant with federal laws.
This forced-reset action eliminates lag time and creates an ultra-fast shooting experience without electronics or batteries. Designed purely with springs and precision-engineered components, WOT triggers deliver semi-automatic performance at a speed that rivals full-auto fire while staying legal.

How Far Can a WOT Trigger Shoot?
Technically, a Wide Open trigger doesn’t extend the distance your AR-15 can shoot.
It’s a speed-enhancing mechanism not a barrel or caliber upgrade. However, it does impact how quickly and effectively you can engage multiple targets at various ranges.
Here’s what you should know:
Effective Range of an AR-15: Generally, 400–600 yards depending on barrel length, ammo, optics, and shooter skill.
WOT Trigger Advantage: It enables faster follow-up shots within this range. Ideal for close to mid-range engagement (50–300 yards).
