Frequently Asked Questions

What is bump firing?

Bump firing is a shooting technique used on semi-automatic firearms to increase the rate of fire. It utilizes the rifle's recoil to 'bump' the trigger against the shooter's finger, allowing the firearm to cycle rapidly.

How do you perform the bump fire technique?

To bump fire, lightly hook your trigger finger over the trigger. Then, apply forward pressure on the rifle with your support hand, allowing the recoil to cycle the trigger against your finger.

Is bump firing accurate?

No, bump firing significantly sacrifices accuracy for speed. The rapid, uncontrolled cycling of the firearm makes precise aiming very difficult, resulting in wide shot groups.

What safety precautions are needed for bump firing?

Due to the extreme heat generated, always wear gloves and use a hand stop or vertical grip. Ensure you have a firm grip and are aware of your surroundings.
