Can a Slidefire Effectively Duplicate Full-Auto?

I still think the ban on machine guns is unconstitutional, though.

Or you can watch the video at Full 360.

Looks like junk to me. Too many FTFs, too few "dings" when he actually hit was he was aiming at.

Fun toy, but that's about all.

Leftists always seem baffled when they pass some law that bans something they don’t like,

and people figure out a way to comply with their law
and STILL do the thing they don’t like them doing.

I do not want full auto capabilities, neither with NFA paperwork nor by working around the law to achieve the same effect. I want every single trigger pull to result in a hit. Others may have different priorities, but my ammo is too expensive and too heavy to be used in bulk. The law they are working around is unconstitutional and deserves to be circumvented, but I won’t be the one doing it.

I just finished building an RPK. That is the only rifle I would consider for a Bumpski. But I’m not paying $450.00 to do it.

Sometimes you just need a m249. Not generally in a civilian role but it’s a niche.

I went to the gun show in Tulsa years ago with friends. They all immediately found and bought a slide fire mechanism.

I took one look and thought..”This is crap!” and did not buy.

A few weeks later I asked them how their slide fire mechanism was working out and they all said... “It was piece of crap!”

I'd kind of like a three-round burst capability - without NFA entanglements.
Never shot one, but it's attractive; with a 5.56 seems like all three would hit... that's a 10-target engagement limitation, but mag changes are fast.

The law they are working around is unconstitutional and deserves to be circumvented,

It needs to be repealed or overthrown, not circumvented.

Were that to happen, I'd have true select-fire rifles just because.

If you own an AK with a downfolding stock, there is a homebrew bumpski rig that seems to work.

I wouldn’t go slidefire - just burns up ammo a lot faster. I watch some full auto vids on youtube & that satisfies the bumpski urge.

[afsnco]

Having to hold the weapon in an unnatural strained position does not make for accurate fire. Just a gimmick.

A Slidefire stock is illegal in MA. All stocks on long guns must be fixed. If it is not, it needs to be pinned. But still...a cool item for an AR.

[Boomer One]

Friend of a neighbor put a Slidefire type device on his S&W 5.56 for around $250 about 6 months ago. It has held up well and is a hoot to shoot. However accuracy does suffer and dollars fly out of the barrel. As he puts it, it’s a close quarters weapon and not his choice when accuracy is desired. For all the trouble and cost of ammo, I think I’d stick with a shotgun.

[bk1000]

Slide fire is a lot of fun, but impractical. Accuracy suffers dearly. The unexpected sound of full auto fire WILL get people’s attention though!

What isn’t illegal in MA?

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

What isn’t illegal in MA?

• A guy buggering a guy and then marrying him.
• Coming from Guatemala and renting an apartment and applying for Welfare.
• Leaving to go live in Tennessee.

Since I opt not to engage in the first two, I hope I'll be allowed to exercise number 3 for the foreseeable future. I can't wait to get out of this shitehole.
