I used to shoot out in the woods near an overgrown old town sand pit. I LOVED bump-firing the AK. (I won't do that with my $800 AR, though). Some guy lived on a farm about a mile from there, he'd always answer back either by bump firing or full auto. ;-)

Anyway, eventually I decided I had to "get serious" and joined a shooting club. My first question: "Can I bump fire my AK here?" got a quizzical look. Eventually, after some confusion I founf the part in the club rules related to what they call "Casual Rapid Fire," which is as close to bump firing as they seemed to understand - but the rule for that was no more than 6 rounds to a magazine at a time.

What is the point in that?

A lot of the ranges I frequent have a "one shot per second" rule. This is waived for official classes and IDPA matches.

What is really screwy is the no FMJ rule at one of them. I still don't get that.

A speed limit on rounds!? That's like owning a corvette in a corvette club and not being allowed to drive over 55 at the racetrack.
