what, do they travel through the *fuckin' air* all by themselves now?

It shouldn't even be that hard to classify what an assault rifle is, but because it involves people trying to ban things they don't like, they just mire it down in legal jargon

HMMMM

<:think_woke:378717098681171988>

I wonder if you designed a trigger that would essentially perform the action of a bump stock by requiring you to maintain pressure yet automatically resetting itself every time the trigger is pulled, whether that would be a legal way to increase rate of fire like a bump stock. Doesn't the law simply require one pull of the trigger to make multiple discharges of the weapon for it to count? This way it still requires trigger pulls because the reset is automatic, but not the discharge itself.

and I wonder what a trigger like that would do to your finger...

it might even be insanely impractical, you might have to make the trigger so you could use two fingers to operate it

Nobody likes to roll the dice with their life, not even if they get paid really well. Looks what happened when they cornered the Dorner, they burned him out instead of storming in

@Thomas the Sowell Train [USA] Ah, just make a foregrip/pump action bumpfire

Can't be too hard

yeah I just wonder if it'd be legal

it's obviously possible

Or just go back to WWI shit and convert bolt actions to selfloaders

You could also possibly use a feature that if the trigger has already been pressed, if it's pressed again as soon as possible (mainting pressure) then the weight of the trigger is much less, making the trigger still safe getting started but easier to fire multiple shots

So a two stage trigger?

if that's what you'd call it, sure

It's all entirely doable, but it's not been done because regular automatics are simpler and nobody wants to get the ATF on them

isn't that what caused waco

IIRC the ATF went after them because they were making some device like that which made semi automatics fire like automatics

I think they tried to claim that

just got back from the range

there was a guy with a bullpup 6.5cm deserttech

next to me shooting .5" groups using little circle note stickers

I was amazed.

I was shooting 338 lap but I have been unable to bring my groups under .7" without a bench rest

my fucking scope rings got loose when I was shooting

causing my groups to drop 3" down suddenly

lol

not good

>bullpup

**BEGONE**

I dunno why he would choose that; but from a bolt action perspective it's kinda sensible

in a use case where he actually needed a super precise shot; it's not like he's likely to do significant followups

so cycling the action is not super duper important

he was a really good shooter though

like; he was hitting the center of those fucking little stickers without any problem

I ran out of ladder tests, zoomed in on his target and watched him shoot

I want to get to his skill level

but I do not want to be as obese as he was

giant beer belly

sad thing is; with my SPR (18", SS, Heavy profile ML Gas) AR, I can shoot better followups than with my fucking super expensive 338 lap
