Bump Fire

[drjay9051]

Recently read about bump fire and the after market stocks that allow this. I know it is pointless but I actually enjoy it on rare occasions. I'm working on the gun trust and stamp so this is it for now. I have not bought any after market stock just a loose hold on the AR.

Question: is this damaging to my AR? It is a Colt 6920, no add ons. Stock trigger etc.

I have had a FTF x 1 while doing this.

Thanks.

I suppose that there's a chance of an out-of-battery detonation, or that you'll heat the barrel up enough to damage it if you put enough rounds through it, but for the most part, I don't think it will actually hurt the gun.

Justin,

You are correct. Hurting the gun is more than likely not going to happen but you could get it hot. The 6920 is a great gun and should be able to handle this just fine. Have never tried it with mine because it shoots as fast as I can pull the trigger.

 

[W.E.G.]

You need to get ten Beta-Mags, and a case of ammo.

Rinse, repeat.

Do as instructed, and the prancing pony may have a sore tail.

There is no more chance of an out-of-battery then if the gun were fired normally with a trigger pull each shot.

An AR-15 firing pin cannot reach a primer unless the bolt carrier is fully forward & the bolt locked.
Otherwise, the carrier is too far back to allow the FP to protrude out of the bolt face and hit the primer.

It has a tendency to rattle your aftermarket goodies off. Your shoulder absorbs some of the vibration, bump fire lets the gun take all the vibrations.

I had a friend who could get almost anything to bump fire. Heck, I'd probably have taken a bet that he could bump a bolt action. You don't need any special stock gizmos or rubber bands to bump fire.

Back in the mid 1980's when my oldest Son was around 5 yrs. old it happened to us. I was helping to support the rifle while he pulled the trigger and we emptied the 30 round mag. really, really fast. I was totally unaware of this possibility back then and thought something had malfunctioned with the AK47 at first. But after realizing what had happened, I have been sucessful at recreating it.

If you want to bump fire, start with a rubber band. Eventually, you wont need it.

Take the $350 for the stock, spend it on the ammo you're going to waste, and enjoy. It gets old quick though, and with the cost of ammo it gets expensive.

Last time I bump-fired my 5.56 AR was when surplus ammo was dirt cheap and plentiful. My 9mm AR got a few mags bumped through it after the issues I had with early CProducts magazines.

If a piece of string can be an NFA weapon on its own, I'm sure they would consider a rubber band in the same way...

would a 22 conversion kit have enough recoil to work it?

 

[Zach S]

I doubt it. IIRC the Akins Accelerator for the 10-22 was spring loaded.

ive got a bunp fire stock. I know there are cheaper ways to do it but the bump fire stock just works and unlike many of the other methods you can actually put shots on target with it. Ive got mine on a stag and its probably shot 5k of rounds this summer and its been about flawless.

Not my video, but you can see him open up a ragged hole in the target.

HHMMMMMM. Wonder if a HiPoint 9mm carbine could be bumpfired??

my nephew has one of those ssar stocks... I was VERY impressed. While I've seen folks bump fire before, I haven't seen anyone be able to do it as comfortably and in control of their weapon as with one of those. Maybe with lots and lots of practice you could, but don't knock 'em till you've tried 'em!
