Opinions on Bump Fire?

[Mayor McRifle]

So, I searched this topic and found very little, other then lots of past arguments on the stupid "bump fire" stocks. I threw this in Off-topic for more of an honest debate then a gun discussion.

LOL! That's a first.

I think that "honest debate" is 500 yards slow fire. "Bump fire" = "The View."

For me, the hallmark of any "honest debate" is a dogged fixation on cop bashing, flatulence, deviant sex, and bacon. The OP's right. You just don't get that kind of thing in a "gun discussion" -- especially when you're talking about a controversial gun firing technique.

I'm wondering what kind of debate that one could have re bacon. There is no debate. Bacon could bring about world peace!

Bacon could bring about world peace!

As long as its not tactical bacon.

Never done it. Waists ammo. Not very accurate. Looks like it would be fun with someone else's ammo.

It's a lot of fun with a .22 I can't get my 10/22 to bump fire but I can go through an entire tube on my speed master

[CK_32]

It is a waste of ammo,

But so is shooting dirt and pop cans. As long as your having fun in a safe manner have at it.

I've done it more than a few times with friends and yea it's a complete waste of ammo. But the laughs and good time we had doing it was well worth it.

This guys does a great job, & hits his targets

Damn, that man has BUMP FIRE down pat. Makes me want to try that method next time!

I prefer the BF for hunting, gotta get some lead in the air!!! *Sarcasm.

It's really easy to bump fire a 1911 and fun.

Squib doesn't blow up a gun, racking the next round in (after a malfunction that you didn't check out) then pulling the trigger again is what does it.

Careful!

Squib is not when the round doesn't fire (FTF), but when it (1) does fire, and (2) there is no powder in the case (or incorrect underpowered amount). When that happens, the bullet will get stuck in the barrel, but the pressure that builds up due to the (now) obstructed barrel can very well be sufficient to cycle the slide/bolt.

If the slide/bolt cycles, that "pulling the trigger again" happens automatically in bump fire scenario.

How else can you hit condors in flight so they can die from lead poisoning? Those suckers are almost as fast as humming birds. And not much bigger...

While I wasn't bump firing, I once had a person comment on how fast I was pulling the trigger of my rifle. My reply was, "That when he paid for my ammo, he could worry about how fast I shot it".

That's the same way I feel about bump firing...my gun...my ammo...none of your business.

I think it's actually a lot of fun but it's only something I do very rarely. Safety is paramount, you lose a lot of control bumpfiring from the hip like that, especially when your firing hand is basically not on the pistol grip.

I think it becomes immature if bump firing is the primary way someone fires their gun, or they only shoot at dirt and not at targets. There is always somewhat of a novelty factor with firearms but if someone can't get past that and all they do is shoot into the ground as fast as they can and laugh at the recoil, noise, and muzzle flash then they are probably not mature enough to have a gun.
