Default Bump firing

After seeing hundred of videos on youtube of people bump firing their semi-autos, it got me wondering

Whats the point of it other than to waste ammo...?

You have basicly no accuracy and it's dangerous cause your not gripping the gun properly

Well I guess you can trick the opposition into thinking you have a fully automatic weapon.

What opposition? If you're shooting at a hostile target, fast trigger pull will work just as good as full auto. Bump fire is just stupid and can be dangerous to yourself and people around you.

Yeah, I want to sacrifice the accuracy of point and shoot with pseudo auto fire.

By Opposition I mean anyone that you would be potentially using your weapon on.

I'm also just speculating and I don't think bump firing has a real purpose and I also think its sort of dumb.

-So there's no need to be all sarcastic with me.

And blasting away with Semi auto guns isn't a waste of ammo? It's always been 'fun' for folks to emulate full auto fire in such as way that the ATF can't bust you. It's more of a 'hahahaha, screw you ATF" vibe than anything else.

Also it's a pretty good approximation of full auto fire (that take quite a bit of skill). But it's like the 'rush' of firing a full auto gun.

So ... I like firing a full magazine out of a full auto gun. THAT's basically a waste of ammo and not accurate, even with the proper grip. If you DON'T think blasting a mag out of a gun with one burst is FUN, then I gotta wonder why you're on IMFDB LOL

I've actually seen guys firing Semi-Auto AKs at beyond the ROF of their full-auto conterparts

Well... I think its for showing off more than anything else

(I would also love to see someone bump fire a Barret M82 )

A Hellfire trigger kit is the ultimate cure. It's a light spring placed behind the trigger so if you pull it right, the recoil makes the gun fire full auto. It takes the dangerous grip out of bump firing.

But there's nothing like firing a full auto, no BS. It's just great.
