Pffft safety nazis against bumpfire. Who woulda guessed they jumped in?

Waste of ammo? Hardely a logical explanation for a plinking gun.

Accurate? Hell no, but that doesnt take the fun out of it.

Dangerous? About as dangerous as shooting full auto 5 rounds directly in front of you with any gun? Were not going to argue that one are we?

Lack of control? Sure, if your not holding onto your rifle, which you should be!

Not that im a bumpfire advocate, Ill do it for a few kicks once in a while, i just see no point for saftey douches to rain on other peoples parade, as they usually do on the interwebs.
 
To be fair, in Kevin's occupation wasting ammunition is hazardous to your health. I agree with him, but I go shooting to hit targets, not miss them.
 
i don't see why having fun with your firearms is a problem. if you really want to bump-fire five rounds go ahead (it probably wont be that great.) As long as its done from the shoulder like in the vid posted i don't see how it could be unsafe.

I think it can be done in a safe manner. I fired full auto before (Army), I don't see much difference here.

Is it legal? Not in Canada, but many of us travel.
 
There's varying opinions on how logical it is but it is most certainly not illegal unless you're using a device. :rolleyes: The finger is not yet deemed a controlled/prohibited device.
 
Wow if I knew that there was going to be this kind of response I would have never posted this item as I said before thanks to all of you who gave me an answer to the question I asked. As for all the other people on here just to ##### and complain at any chance they can well good job you proved your point. I have come to this site before to ask for advice and I have received grate advice and I thank you but the rest of the comments really take away for this site and for new people to the sport of shooting to come here and have that kind of #### well its kinda sad grow up find something better to do with your time than harass people that don’t want your advice.

Doesn't sound familiar to me at all. In fact maybe you should read what I wrote before posting BULLS**T! I Think EVERYONE should have firearms! All I was saying is that by perpetuating this thread all we are doing is promoting an unsafe method of discharging a firearm and someone somewhere is going to get in trouble or worse hurt.
Please explain to me how bump-firing is unsafe.

Dont you start calling me a Troll on this Thread as this is Illegal and unsafe!(might just try one day....just once)

How is it illegal if no device is being used to fire the weapon other than its own recoil?

Unsafe, well that depends on the individual and location I guess.

If its illegal as you said, why would you admit to possibly trying it just once?

Personally I have no interest in it but am not going to try and tell others what to do.

I am not calling you a troll.:)
