Range day with my new Bump Fire stock

I suspect it will cost you many times that in ammo.

Also the Youtube video you linked won't play and says "Private"

A fellow at the club made one to fit a Siaga <sp> 12 ga shotgun. He had extended mag and it worked really well. After a few rounds it was pointed sky ward.

I've seen the same with ARs fitted with bumpfire stocks. You can watch the impacts go up the berm and then off into the wild blue yonder.

I have had a Slide Fire stock since they first came out a few years ago. It is very entertaining. Tactically useful? No of course not, but it makes me smile when I shoot it. For BIG fun try it out on a S&W 15-22 with a 3.5 lb CMC trigger group. Very fast shooting on the .22, and much more accurate and cheaper than 5.56. Our local range does not allow the use of them. So I shoot it on private land for kicks a couple of times a year.

No Real Muzzle Rise

A buddy brought one over and we shot a couple dozen magazines through an AR. It did take a mag or two to get the hang of but it's great fun. We were shooting on a 15 foot berm and had no problems at all controlling muzzle rise. It's not as accurate as a true full auto (of that matters to anyone for any reason (and if it does you're probably missing the point))

I guess I am probably missing the point. I have shot full auto's and they are basically only good for spray and pray. I have 3 nephew's in the military, two in special forces who do not look at rapid inaccurate fire as a positive in a life or death situation. They are good for burning through a lot of ammunition without much to show and if that trips your trigger then go for it, but if you want to survive any shtf situation you had better learn controlled accurate fire.....

I questioned the use of bump firing stocks for anything but ammo burning play...
But, when I watched Hickok45 shoot a 5.45 AK74 clone with a bump fire stock, it looked pretty useful.
Maybe it was the AK74 muzzle brake doing its job, but he didn't seem to have a problem staying on target.

I don't have mine anymore. I guess the novality wore off. but I will say this. Ive shot full auto carbines in the service and if ran properly I think a bump fire is just as controllable if not more. With a forward grip installed and some forward pressure on it that's needed to make the thing work it keeps muzzle climb to a minimum. The down side I see to it is it needs a guy to think about his technique while shooting and in a fire fight you just would have the presences of mind and I doubt without a ton of practice you would make it work reliably.

I have two very contradictory opinions about them.

First, if you want one, can afford one and have the coin to feed the habit, get one and enjoy it.

Second, I've done full auto in the real world and find it of such limited utility that I'm not interested in blowing cash 30 rounds at a time.

So there's my contradictory opinions. Some people like fast cars, some people like playing pinochle. Different strokes for different folks.
