M305 fun..A friend just showed me this on the net...

I think anything that gun owners do that is STUPID, RECKLESS, UNSAFE, and potentially LETHAL to the operator, cameraman and bystanders, you should definitely continue to do them in the comfort and privacy of your back yard (like this guy) or on crown land miles away from another person so when you kill yourself and/or the people around you no one will be around to be injured and your firearms death will be labelled nothing more than careless firearms handling and your estate will have to deal with the fallout of a lawsuit because your buddy was seriously injured. You won't care you'll be dead. Firearms were never designed to fire full auto from your belt loop.

Whenever I see a bumpfire video on Youtube (there are hundreds of them) I see the Wheel of Darwin spinning. Too bad you'll never see a video of "bumpfire gone bad" because Youtube doesn't allow videos of people getting their head blown off.

As I have said here before, do whatever you want with your guns, including testing the limit of their safe use and operation. If you want to ignore your safety, it's your life. Just don't do anything that will negatively affect mine or anyone else's already meager rights to own, possess, or use our firearms. If your intent is to deliberately make it more difficult for me to possess firearms in the future because you want to bumpfire, three cheers for Darwin.
 
What is so unsafe about bump firing? I've never done this because I never felt like blowing through .308 without hitting anything, but if anybody wants to do this, go right ahead as far as I'm concerned.

I am trying to think of some reason that bump firing a rifle from the hip is going to kill me but I can't.

Ummmm....Darwin?.... "Bumpfires gone bad"?....
"Head blown off"? WTF are you talking about exactly?

Either you have some vast knowledge on the operation of a gas operated centerfire that us peons are not privvy to

*or*

You don't have a clue about semi-auto operation

There is absolutely no risk of a kaboom from bump firing whatsoever.

If it floats your boat, you have the $$ for the ammo and a safe backstop....fill your boots. If anyone tells you you "shouldn't be doing it"? Tell 'em to f**k off and mind their own business. :)
 
misanthropist:

My concern would be loss of control of the firearm and one or a few of the shots entering your head from your throat from the barrel rising or loss of control with the firearm alltogether and having a shot not go downrange and hitting a bystander.


ARmike:

The operators safety is not my concern. Be unsafe I don't care. I'm not the bump firer or the guy standing near him when he does it. If he wants to be unsafe good for him. If he dies being unsafe oh well not my concern either. He's a big boy and he doesn't need another adult to tell him what is safe and unsafe. If he hasn't figured that out yet he's not going to figure it out now. Remember, stupid people are the majority and the majority rules.

If his unsafeness causes new legislation that affects my ability to own a gun and I didn't raise concern over it beforehand, then that's my fault. Ranges for example like to stay open so they enforce safe gun handing. If your local range has an "ok bumpfire" option, then I guess it's safe and I am wrong. My range for sure doesn't. I don't remember seeing it as one of the safe handling procedures in my CFSC course. Of course I forgot to ask my instructor. I'll ask Hungry see what he says since he's the M14 expert around here.


Wrong Way:

Happy Bump Firing To You then and to anyone else that does it.

basically a waste of ammo, but fun :D

Onoagoth, it does not change a semi at all. You just use the recoil to help you pull the trigger real fast.

Completely useless, complete waste of ammo, really fun if you can do it. It's not easy.

There was a guy on arfcom in the US who could bumpfire his AR for the whole 30 rd mag, from the shoulder to boot. Now that was cool!

Jesus christ...

1) range rules are for ranges...your M14 does not need to be fired at a range

2) unless you have a left hand which is physically incapable of holding a glass of water why the hell is your gun going to spin up and shoot you in the neck?

You ought to watch some of the SA quickdraw guys sometime...did you know they twist fan their revolvers, putting them at IMMINENT RISK of accidentally knocking the gun back and shooting themselves in the face, or, if they are storing a pile of kittens and babies in front of their head, they could literally kill up to A DOZEN KITTENS AND CHILDREN IN ONE SHOT?!?!?!

For christ's sake, bump firing is perfectly safe and elsewhere, where people don't have panic attacks every time something happens involving a gun, it's common practise. If it worries you, the solution is mechanical: loosen the nut behind the stocks of all your guns, it is wound up too tight.
