The SLIDE FIRE

[david6789]

Is the SLIDE FIRE legal in Texas?

 

[TxDad]

Why wouldnt it be?

Is that the same as bump firing? Don't waste your money or ammo...

 

[macshooter]

Yes, it's legal everywhere, so far as I am aware, for now.

Works great, and unlike bumpfire, you can aim and hit what you are shooting at.

 

[david6789]

I am really thinking about buying a few.

Is there a range that I could actually use it at here in Austin?

Dead horse. You're beating one.

The Slide Fire is legal and it works well for controlled short burst firing. It will take some practice getting used to if you have never handled an automatic weapon before. While it is not truly a full auto, prior experience will assist you in control. There are ranges that will let you use a Slide Fire in controlled burst, and there is also a range where full auto NFA weapons are allowed.

I have the Slide Fire on a couple AR's as well as an AK, and they work well for me. I do not use them all the time, but do practice often enough using 3 round bursts.

Get'em while the gettins good.

That has been on my mind a lot, because I really want to move back to the Hill Country. I take for granted I can drive 15min out in the desert here and pretty much do any damn thing I want. Not so in central Texas. Unless you know someone with some land. Could be a good business opportunity, a NFA friendly private range that caters to people that want to shoot evil guns, waste a lot of ammo and shoot things that break and blow up when you hit them, instead of just the precision paper puncher crowd. I'd be willing to drive quite a ways out into the hills to use a range like that.

Save your cash. Can do the same thing with your trigger finger, if the range allows.

Not even close. My 9mm will do 900-1000 rpms. (faster than an MP5) You see a fountain of brass coming out the ejection port for about 2 seconds. Try that with your tigger finger.

 

[country_boy]

I hate yall.. Now I have to buy one for my rpk. GEEEE THX

 

[macshooter]

That's a big bastard. (if it's the full length one) Too bad they don't really work well prone or on a bi-pod. Well, actually it might work on a bi pod if it's one that allows some back and forth movement.

I'm wondering if you could slap one on this.

That would be a wild ride. Definitely need a beta drum.

 

[country_boy]

Yeah its the full size rpk. Hmm didnt think about that issue. Has a bipod though. Well hell would have to go on one of my 5 aks then..

Vids or it didn't happen.

 

[macshooter]

Not mine but close enough. Gemtech talon on RRA lower suppressed SBR with slidefire.

 

[macshooter]

My favorite.

I'm thinking about hanging one on my AES-10B as well. Even in the prone position they work well. With the 75 round drums I have it would make a heck of a suppressive fire platform.

And before someone comes along and whines about Slide Fires any more... its my gun, my ammo, my money. If you don't like them or think they are worthwhile, don't buy one.

 

[Ghost Fish]

My girl's dad has one and they are definitely fun. I can't wait to try it on my AR...plus get one for myself.

 

[Clockwork]

What the... what is this slide fire shenanigans?

 

[orbitup]

I'm gonna pistol whip the next person that says "shenanigans"
