Then it's a machine gun. ATF oopsed the first time by letting it slide.
The trigger moves back away from the finger and then back forward along with the entire action.The trigger is depressed for each shot.
I agree 100%.But the thing to keep in mind is THEY HAD IT IN THERE HANDS AND SAID IT WAS OK!!! There is no getting past that part in my book.
The trigger moves back away from the finger and then back forward along with the entire action.
It would be far more accurate to say that the trigger depresses itself for each shot.
The trigger finger and the stock do not move.
In bump firing, the weak hand pulls the gun back forward against the trigger finger for each shot. In effect, the ACTION required to be performed by the shooter for each shot is done by the opposite hand while the trigger hand/finger doesn't move. But there is still an action done by the shooter for each shot or the gun will stop firing.The sear is disengaged by activation of the trigger against the finger for EACH SHOT. It doesn't matter that the finger doesn't move. If it did bump firing would be illegal.

In the Akins device, deadin has it exactly correct. There is no ACTION by the shooter that fires all shots other than the first one, the gun does everything. They effectively made the whole action reciprocate and the trigger becomes an autosear as a result.
