    Bump stocks are largely irrelevant since the invention of Hellfire Triggers:

    It’s essentially a “bent piece of metal”. I don’t see how you could control that.

    Which can even be applied to pistols:

      Fuck it. Let’s go back to bolt actions. See them try to machine the spring, magazine well, and a whole new bolt.

          Oh I know but those mods at least take a serious machine shop. Not a bent piece of metal.

      Some people honed a technique that does what a bump stock does without one. It’s all really inaccurate obviously, but also obviously horrific for soft target crowds.
