Frequently Asked Questions

What is bump firing and how does it work?

Bump firing is a technique for semi-automatic firearms where the shooter uses the firearm's recoil to rapidly cycle the trigger, achieving a rate of fire similar to automatic fire. The support hand pushes the rifle forward, causing the trigger to reset and fire as the bolt cycles.

What safety precautions are necessary for bump firing?

Essential safety precautions include wearing protective gloves due to extreme heat buildup, using a hand stop for control, maintaining muzzle discipline, and understanding that accuracy is significantly compromised. Always be aware of your surroundings and target.

What firearm is used in the bump firing demonstration?

The firearm demonstrated is the Radical Defense RF15, chambered in 5.56 NATO, shown on an outdoor shooting range. The video highlights its M-LOK handguard and vertical grip.

Is bump firing accurate?

No, bump firing is inherently inaccurate. The rapid, uncontrolled cycling of the firearm makes precise aiming extremely difficult. It is a technique prioritized for rate of fire over accuracy.
