Are Binary Triggers Legal in Georgia?

Georgia's dangerous-weapons provisions at sections 16-11-122 through 16-11-124 address machine guns, silencers, and other enumerated weapons, with section 16-11-124 supplying exceptions. ATF's Georgia compendium does not identify a separate binary-trigger or rate-enhancing-device offense, so the mechanism must be compared with the defined weapon rather than the accessory's marketing name.

Binary triggers are legal under federal law and are not machine guns under 26 U.S.C. § 5845(b); ATF treats the trigger pull and the trigger release as two separate functions of the trigger, so one round is fired per function. Cargill v. Garland (2024) concerned bump stocks, not binary triggers, and does not change this.

Scope: Binary triggers (Franklin Armory BFSIII and similar): fire one round on trigger pull and one on release. Forced reset triggers are a separate class.
