It’s not really clear how you stop firing with this thing. Relax your trigger finger while it’s being bounced around by a firing weapon? The hand gun demos were scary.

This is legally a highly bad idea. The BATF will classify it as a MG. It’s the same as having a motor-driven trigger. It’s been tried. The BATF classifies it as an MG. I can’t imagine that the idiots behind this project don’t realize what’s going to happen.
Yeah, the definition of machine gun is very stupid in this time of 3d printers and so on. Anyone can make a motor connected to a trigger, or a drop-in auto sear, so easily these days. But it’s still illegal and the law is vigorously enforced, even where there’s no criminal intent.
As a comparable data point, I did a quick search on “autosear conviction” and earlier this year some guy called Gregory Williams, 29, of Pensacola was arrested for selling them and now faces 190 years. The expression in his mugshot should tell everyone about how bad of an idea that is. He’s going to spend likely decades in prison for selling a few bits of metal to an undercover cop.
His expression is really painful to see…

I would think that this thread and the “what happens when you a motor and spin LEGO engines to failure” thread will eventually collapse into one.

I’m a gun owner and don’t see the point, but if used in a public shooting it would lower the number of casualties not raise it. Full auto regardless of how is always less accurate. In a shoulder fired weapon the drift from recoil basically makes anything but the first, maybe the second shot completely useless. Without extensive practice the best marksmen will be lucky to hit the side of a barn with the 3rd round. Militarily speaking full auto is used for suppressive fire (keeping the enemy hidden) from placed (heavy and mounted, or at least a bipod to allow control
the only real use for this is to waste bullets. It really is the firearm equivalent to the crazy fireworks that are illegal in most jurisdictions that you can by. Someone is doing a beavis and butthead laugh and saying “that was cool” as they shoot at 20 watermelons and hit 2 if they are lucky.

Weird, because this is the relevant bit of law here in CA:
A multiburst trigger activator means a device designed or redesigned to be attached to a semiautomatic firearm which allows the firearm to discharge two or more shots in a burst by activating the device, or a manual or power-driven trigger activating device constructed so that when attached to a semiautomatic firearm it increases the rate of fire of that firearm. (Penal Code §12020©(23).)
So… maybe currently legal because it doesn’t attach to the gun, but to the human?

Well… If you bother to practice TONS, and have a tuned custom gun…
But yeah, this is mainly for folks to dick around with.
If you’ve ever seen a “single action shooting” event, and watched people run lever rifles, they can ping targets impressively fast.

Predator lied to me? Color me shocked.
Off topic I know but turn of the century was always a strange expression is getting stranger still.
Originally it meant the turn from first half to second half so it was unambiguous, then it shifted to mean the change from one century to the next and now it seems to mean the start of the twentieth century.

I’m just wondering what other applications there are for this vibrating finger attachment.

I believe that was a M60, not a SAW.
Oh god, now I’m the gun pedant?

I thought he was referring to the minigun…
Both SAWs and M60s could be fired standing, but they are heavy and the recoil on the M60 is difficult to manage, so yes, they are often deployed prone or using a wall or tree for stability.
And another thing WTF is with that slot in the side of the magazine? I thought they demonstrated what a bad idea that was 100 years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chauchat
That is a .22lr magazine. The reason they make it like that is you can manually pull the spring and follower down, and add bullets with no tension. This saves your thumbs after your 4th magazine being loaded.
Yes, you can introduce dirt, but a .22lr is for cans and varmints, so its not a big deal if you get a jam. Actually, .22s jam and misfire fairly often in many guns, especially the cheaper ammo.
Protip - if you a Ruger mark series or similar pistol this thing will make loading a breeze.

You would be surprised what rednecks can afford in terms of guns. I used to live in a very rural area where my neighbors had about an acre of woods behind their house they could fire their guns into. They would shoot off about 30 rounds a day, just for shits and giggles apparently. I can’t even imagine how much that cost them. They never did any upkeep on their house, they burned their trash because they couldn’t afford proper removal, they car quickly wound up on blocks and sideways in their driveway to keep it being repossessed, but somehow they still managed to get the cash together to shoot off those guns all the time.
