You've seen what's going on with braces.
At one time, any device to simulate full auto fire was pretty much laughable- Cranks, spring devices meant to kick the trigger back, and even bump-fire itself. All inaccurate, unreliable and simple "novelties". But in the past few years that's changed. It's now possible to lay down accurate fire at rates often exceeding real select-fire guns, with no real difference in final effect between "toys" and "the real deal". Where's it going to go from here? And burn me if you want, but this bears discussion.

The NFA is not going to be repealed under this admin.
But the more you talk about it, the more likely it is to happen. votekick=OP |

I don't see how you're going to exceed the rate of full auto, you're saying that the bumping will activate the trigger again faster than an auto sear.
But, I have some rifles that are easy to bump, and the fire rate is darn near the same. By using the time to empty a mag or drum and the number of rounds hit 600 RPM and better. The good news is that bump firing wears the barrel, bolt, carrier, springs and other components far less than full auto. That's what some resident GD metallurgists told me. |

And just look up Bumpfire stocks on Google. It's out there, and it's everywhere. |

NFA is never going to be repealed. No politician or political party will pass legislation to "put machine guns out on the streets." Not gonna happen.
However, if we push it hard enough we could see removal of SBRs and suppressors from the list. Outright repeal of the whole thing? Nope. And ATF can't very well forbid simulated full auto, because no matter how one does it, it is still pulling the trigger for each shot. very different from the whole Sig brace issue. |

Anything posted here is going to be speculation. You should write a letter to the ATF to find out the real answer. If they give you the answer you want, better write another letter just to be sure.

"Exceed rates of real select-fire versions of the same gun?"
I don't think so. If all other things are equal (bolt weight, carrier weight, spring tension, etc), how could a bumpfired or cam-fired gun exceed the rate of fire of the same gun in full-automatic? The only delay in firing of a full auto gun is the time it takes the bolt to travel backwards, forwards, and hammer to follow through. In "simulated" full auto fire, all of the same stuff happens, plus more stuff. For example, in a bumpfired gun (including those with a bumpfire stock), the entire gun has to travel backwards a set distance in order to be reset for each round. If anything, a bumpfired gun will have a slightly lower rate of fire, as the bolt will have an effectively longer overall distance to travel, due to the gun travelling backward with the bolt. If you were to give it enough distance, the bolt would actually fail to travel a far enough distance to eject the spent casing. Which is exactly what happens sometimes with pistols when "limp-wristing." |

in many cases, full auto arms designers go to great lengths to reduce the rate of fire. this is particularly the case for PDW - they would prefer something like 200-400 rpm if there was a simple reliable way to achieve it

Only if the rotary mechanism is powered by an electric motor. Hand-cranked ones are fine. |

If a cam, most probably actuated by a crank type system is used to actuate the trigger, it's still a single pull of the trigger for each shot fired. If the cam is electrically driven, atf has held that the switch to activate an electric motor is in fact the trigger, and pressing such a switch to activate the system is a "single pull of the trigger to fire more than one shot"' ie: a machine gun. |

The ATF would have to eventually dictate number of rounds allowed per second to enforce anything regarding rapid fire systems.
Bump fire stocks are only half of the rapid fire market. The ATF would have to limit trigger systems also. Tac con, geissele, etc. |

Of course BATFE's gonna change their opinion. Any fucking time you bring ANYTHING to the .gov's attention it's gonna damn sure get regufuckinlated. |

Bump stocks don't let the gun fire more than one bullet per trigger pull, regardless of the rate of fire.
Unless the legal definition of a machinegun is changed the ATF doesn't have a leg to stand on. |

Except the ATF hasn't rescinded their decision on the bumpfire stocks....
Basically, if you half half a fucking brain you know the 'arm braces' are a way to circumvent the [NFA] law that was passed. 'Constitutional' or not...it's a circumvention and doesn't take a .gov employee to figure it out. |
