A place for all discussions related to firearms. New guns you purchased. Guns you plan to purchase. Advice about guns. Need help identifying something you found in your grandfathers closet? Have a new load formula you want to share? A crazy story you heard. There I was stories. Put it all here.
If you don't know, don't be afraid to ask. We certainly aren't experts, but if we put our collective heads together we might figure something out.
To get things started: A member (who may chose to id themselves if they want) has asked about bump firing. Bump firing is a process which allows a semi-automatic firearm (usually a rifle) to be fired as fast as a automatic weapon. The trick to doing this is to push the rifle forwards with the support hand while holding ones finger in a rigid manner in front of the trigger. Pulling the gun forward pulls the trigger, the recoil pushes it back, the gun is pulled forward and is fired again. Repeat until out of ammo. The down side is that it is extremely inaccurate. When I say "extremely inaccurate" I mean you aren't going to hit anything you are aiming at except with extreme luck. The up side is that it can be fun. Just be very careful about what is down range since you don't have much control where those bullets are going for the next mile or two. Another word of warning. There are some devices for sale that facilitate bump firing. The government has a habit of changing their minds on the legality of these devices, so even though one may be legal today, it might not be tomorrow. My advice is that if you want to bump fire, just practice doing it without devices... and remember that it's a party trick and not a real fighting technique.
