See the link in #16. The genius professor told the student not to use the unmarked position 3, because it might fire off 3 rnds.

"It was only on subsequent abuse by the BATFE that they finally broke it the rest of the way and got it to go into a "wild fire" mode where the sear catch was completely broken off. ...The government is up to no good on this one."

(sarc)Thanks for sticking up for the government though. I'm sure they're happy to have people like you defending their unConstitutional actions.(/sarc)
