I have seen rifles being bumpfired on utube. I was wondering if it is possible to pumpfire a semiauto shotgun, or would the recoil be too much to do it.

[Dave McCracken]

It can be done, but why try? Like slamfiring a Model 12 or 97, it makes alot of noise but effect is minimal when one misses. And you'll miss a lot.

After YOU try it, please do it with a .50 too, I'd like to know how that works out. Maybe you'll get a broken finger out of the deal too, or some pellets in your car.:scrutiny:

Maybe I am a bit naive, but what is bump firing or pump firing?

slamfire works pretty well on an ithica 37, it just doesn't eliminate the need to aim.

any semi automatic can be bumpfired. you're best bet is probably a sagia however.

Bump firing is a way of firing a semi-auto rifle or in this case a shotgun VERY fast. Basically you hold the firearm so that the recoil of firing will cause your finger to come off the trigger long enough for the trigger to reset and the action to close on a live round.

You also have your off hand (left hand for right handed people) pulling forward on the firearm, you generally hook your trigger finger through the trigger guard in front of the trigger to the loop of your pants. When you pull froward with your left hand the firearm fires and recoils back since you are still pulling, the firearm continues to fire over and over.

A lot of fun but a big waste of ammo.

I can try to video tape bump firing a saiga 20 tomorrow, depending on if we get the pit done.

If I am reading what you said correctly, my s.o. has done this with my 1100 numerous times. My 1100 will fire 5 shells as fast as I can pull the trigger. I have used this gun to shoot doubles before. Is that the same as what you are talking about?

Not quite. Bumpfiring is when you only pull the trigger once, but you anchor your trigger-finger hand on your belt or belt-loop and pull forward on the forearm so that the recoil action of the gun creates a back-and-forth rocking motion which is enough to reset the trigger each time so that the gun keeps firing without you moving your trigger finger. It's like "poor man's full-auto."

[Calliope]

Ok well I guess that makes sense. Then you can add me to the "Why" category of people. lol

check out the work of patrick Flanigan... he's amazingly fast, but I don't know if I'd call it bump firing.

For more fun Tom Knapp may entertain you on shotgun talent.
