So I'm not someone that has done a lot of bump firing (though I have in the past) but after thinking about it, it seems dangerous.
The reason I state this for example if you look at this guy's video where he describes how to do it, in one sense you're losing partial control of the rifle.

Using his video for example you don't fully have a grip on the handle anymore and somehow I could the gun getting too hot or someone losing control with their left hand at that point the force from the gun is still rocking back and fourth from the recoil but the gun is likely to turn a 180 (continuing to fire) and shoot the person firing in the face. Maybe I'm wrong on the physics end of this?
In other words looking you're using your right hand basically as just a finger (you're barely if at all holding the gun) if you somehow lost control while firing with your left hand over the barrel pulling the gun into your finger on your right hand the gun would likely spin around while continuing to fire.
I'm not saying this is likely, but it has been a fear of mine regarding bump firing for some time. What do you guys thinks?
