From https://www.bevfitchett.us/ar15-to-m16-conversion/lightning-link.html: "The Way It Works ... In normal semi-auto operation the hammer is cocked by a rearward movement of the bolt carrier, as the carrier moves forward, the hammer is caught and held in the cocked position by the sear located on the forward part of the trigger catching in the sear notch, on the hammer. If you hold the trigger after a shot's fired the sear will not catch in the hammer's sear notch when the hammer cocks because the sear is depressed below the arc of the hammer notch. What happens is because the trigger is being held back, the disconnector hook is tipped forward and in position to catch the hammer, stopping it from following the bolt carrier forward. When the trigger is released, it allows the hammer to slip from under the. disconnector hook and be caught by the trigger sear in the hammer sear notch. Making it necessary to pull the trigger for each shot."
