Slide fire stocks are selling

At my old job I went to some "training days" with the local SWAT. They let me do some full-auto mag dumps with a real mp5... it was neat but given ammo prices it didn't really appeal to me as something I would try to recreate.

I don't own an AR-15 but if I did I would probably have one cause it's there. The picture of one of the guns clearly shows a bump fire attachment and a 60 or 100rd mag. So the knee jerk to ban them will kick off tons of sales.
 
ermahgerd their gonna ban em - I must have one!
 
When the slide fires came out my thought was "Cool." But I have never really wanted one. Having shot my ARs a good bit I realized quickly that rapid single fire that hits exactly where I intend is far more effective than going full retard with a slide fire. Yes, they do effectively do what they do. But I never saw them more than a toy for people with more ammo than me.

For the record, No, I don't want them banned any more than I want anything else banned. They just don't fit in my personal "philosophy of use" as NutnFancy would say.
 
Meh. I've shot both the slide fire and plenty of true select fire guns. Didn't want one before the shooting and don't want one after the shooting. Same as the SureFire 100 round mag. Got a couple of the 60s. I like them ok. Like my Magpul drum better. Won't leave the house with any of them. I'm getting old. I like the Vietnam era 20 rounders in bandoleers.
 
As someone here correctly pointed out, full auto fire is mostly used for suppression. I can see the bump fire gizmos being appropriate for that use if they are reliable and there is enough ammo and magazine capacity to feed them. I don't see myself ever needing that capability hopefully, but I'd rather have a tool I will never need than the other way around.

I'm partial to the 20 rounders too. GI and Pmag.

I don't have an AR (yet), but the idea of a binary trigger appeals to me more than a bump stock.

I can't justify it on paper, but I sure do want some trigger time with a binary to see what it is like.
 
Bill mentioned the 100 round magazines. While I find them cool, I have also never really wanted one. For their cost I can but 10-15 regular 30 round magazines. Reloading isn't that hard. From what I read the 60-100 round mags were designed as a "first contact" option for when troops first came into contact withbad guys that they could maintain a steady stream of accurate aimed fire while not having to reload.

Do I want some? yes. Do I want them banned? No...because I understand reloading speeds.
 
Truth be told, I've really wanted one for my AES-10B since I saw this guy bumping his:



But it already hurts every time I load up a few drums for the range and watch those empty boxes of 7.62x39 pile up at my feet. So I can't imagine emptying a drum in just a few seconds.

It would be a ton of fun though, no doubt.

Thanks for posting this. I'm on the way to Staples to stock up on rubber bands before the Band Ban.
 
I have a slide fire on an AR47. I bought it on sale and use it mostly for the enjoyment of others. I took it to my dad's 70th b-day gala and the attendees had a blast! When I took our French colleagues shooting during their visit, again, a blast was had.

Other than that, it sits in the corner.

Neither is the price.

I'd be interested in a SlideFire for my AR22 if I thought it would reliably work. Not keen enough to spend more than $100 AND deal with trying to get it to run reliably.

They are available for the M&P 15-22, but an AR22 is a bit heavier, so it's not clear to me the 15-22 Slidefire will work for an AR22.

Definitely not interested in paying then spraying .223 rounds.

The rubber band method works pretty good on an AR22. Cheap, fast fun...

The kid at Staples said there are rumors a box of rubber bands will soon require a $200 stamp.
 
It is fun no doubt, I've had mine for three years or more, my friends liked it as well when I brought out to the range the first time, especially since they were shooting my ammo. Once I realized how many rounds were fired I took it off the rifle and it now sits in a corner of the safe. I am more of a hunter and target shooter and I saw no need for what I want to do. I am sick to my stomach that this type of devise was used by the shooter in Las Vegas, I thought of it as a novelty for plinking although at a very fast rate of fire more than anything else and useless for what I do. A sick mind used it to kill and injure so many people.

Just goes to show it's the person, not the tool. There must be many thousands of these bumpfire stocks in the wild, to say nothing of the billions of rubber bands. It wasn't until a psychopath came along that this tool was used for murder.

And if we're going to ban tools, we need to look at trucks - the Nice jihadist killed more people with his truck than the Vegas shooter did with all his guns, bumpfire stocks, vantage point and exquisite planning.

I get what he's saying and it's something I agree with. The only real purpose for full auto is suppressive fire.

I would like to own one so that I can continue to train on those techniques in case the need for it should arise and do not agree with unconstitutional limitations on my right to own one. But for most people it really is a waste of ammo as they only use them as range toys.

Don't misunderstand, they should have the right to waste as much ammo as they want to.

I have never fired full auto and just thought I wasted ammo lol. It’s too fun
 
I've never wanted a slide fire stock. I think the concept is interesting and its probably fun, but the ammo cost would be high and I can hit what I'm aiming at better with single fire.

If select fire full autos were affordable and didn't require tax stamps and waiting periods, I'd probably buy one. I imagine I'd shoot it semi auto 99.9% of the time still. I'd just like to have the full-auto option.

I do want one of the Magpul 60 round drums, but for the price I can get 6-30 round stick mags. Hard to justify the cost when I keep that in mind.
