I have a Slide Fire on my MP 15-22 and I have always wondered how it stays legal and why the legislators have not gone after it. The only thing that I could think of was that they probably don't know about it yet. Well, front page news on Yahoo. This might cause a stink.

hahahha that picture starts off retarded, RIGHT FROM THE START.

One round per second? I ain't no Miculek but I can sure as hell beat 60 rounds per minute with little effort. A buttstock does NOT improve or speed up the cyclic action of a semiauto gun. Each AK, regardless of buttstock, returns to battery juts as fast as the other. What a stupid article.

 

[jchebert1979]

I completely agree with you but I think that this might draw attention to all of their products, not just this belt fed slide fire AK.

They've tried to go after it before.

The device does nothing but put your finger in a position to pull the trigger more rapidly. But make no mistake, you are pulling the trigger and no mechanical aids are being used.

The only way to make it illegal is to name it in the law.

They tried to do this as well, but it was included among many items in the proposed AWB2. The whole bill was shot down and with it, hopes to make the Slidefire illegal.

They're dumb fun when ammo is cheap and completely useless when ammo is .50/rd.

Agenda driven jackasses rarely worry about accuracy when trying to emote fear. I would yield any "bump fire/slide fire" info to others more knowledgeable, but putting up a picture of an AK (you know the kind of guns they use in the middle east to kill each other), is no mistake.

Ahhhh but wait. Now they have the 10/22 Slidefire to use all that cheap 22 ammo.

Lol.

They require an AR style chassis and a sub 3lb trigger.

The crux of the article seems to talk about the fast rate of fire, which any Jerry Miculek video should debunk, as well as any technical advisor being able to debunk.

The second thing is the fear of belted ammo, and being of such high capacity.

I'm not really bothered by either.

Congress isn't going to ban high capacity ammo - that's been made clear during even the most emotional of recent times. As for the stock... pft. It's been ruled already.

At least the comments section of it are 99% people who are bashing the article.

The comments were quite amusing.

I think they should be banned ! So I can post mine on here at a 300% markup.

 

[Booseman]

Next thing you know they will require everyone that owns to have to register it!! Just think how crazy that will be. To have to register a piece of plastic.

Glocks?

 

[herohog]

A shoe string and a finger is considered a Machinegun by the ATF so that isn't THAT far fetched.

 

[Jack]

I hope they don't ban these, they make snap judgements so much more accurate.

Next thing I'm gonna have to get a class III just to fan a revolver.
