GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[F.U.]

And, your contention that Paddock was at a disadvantage with bump stocks in this scenario is plain silly.

About Bump firing a firearm. It actually does make it less accurate.

These stocks came to be after people figured out that you could hook your thumb into the trigger guard, pin that thumb against your hip, apply a slight forward pressure with your forward hand and let the gun free float as it fired itself. The rearward recoil of the firing of the firearm resets the trigger and the forward pressure of the person moves the gun forward while the trigger is held stationary [I hope that came out right]. It increases the rate of fire to that of a fully automatic firearm. Problem is the gun is just floating there and you have no accuracy because of it. Even the Gov figured out that full auto was a waste of ammo and went to the 3 round burst. Full auto is nothing more than spray and pray.

That being said, Did these stocks help or hurt the shooter? While it did reduce his accuracy he had such a large target that accuracy was not important. He could let the gun do what it wanted and just keep lead flying. So in this case I DO think it was a advantage for him to use this setup.

Holy shit, did I just agree with HotD on a firearm topic ?
