When I read the laws, yes, bump firing is illegal, becasue it is simulated automatic fire... based on one pull of the trigger. Even thought the compression and recoil are made by the weapon you and firing again, it is the gun that is simulating "Automatic Fire" and you and your gun are open to illegal issues... specially if law enforcement are the ones who hear it. In a few of the laws that I've read, about "defining Automatic" weapons, it doesn't say that it's a mechanism in the gun that cause the fire as much as the gun shooting "automatically" several rounds with one suppression of the trigger.. so I'm sure the court or jury would just say that you was intending to shoot "Automatically" because that was your intent. To bump fire, to create "Rapid Automatic Fire".. correct?Is bump firing illegal? I've never heard of anyone calling it out until now.
So, I still like shooting or demonstrating that at my home.. but it's really not all that cool.. However, I do think that the Gat-Triggers are Awesome! If you haven't seen those.. now that is a trip and totally legal, because each rep, creates and independent depression of the trigger, creating "Rapid Simi-Automatic Fire".. totally legal where permitted. (I wish someone would make an electric Gat-trigger!)
