New rifle mimics machine gun's rapid fire -- and it's legal

5. The same thing can be done with a rubber band and any AR-15.

It's legal because the trigger must be re-set before the next shot can be fired. I've done it just to see if the inter webs videos are real.

It works because the shooter pulls the rifle forward instead of pulling the trigger rearward.
as soon as the recoil pushes the gun rearward (away from the trigger finger) the trigger re-sets and the gun is pulled forward again tripping the trigger. It's a delicate balance between pressure forward on the gun and holding the trigger finger still so the gun can bounce back and forth.

While it can burn a lot of ammo very quickly and it burns out the barrel it isn't very functional because in any tense situation, say killing elementary children, it's hard to maintain that balance.

The big "innovation" here is the belt feed. Ammo is only limited by the ability to carry the weight and there is no need to take 2 seconds to replace the magazine.

The only solution is to follow California's lead and ban the sale of semi auto weapons with removeable magazines.

As a federal firearms licencee (collector) I've come to this conclusion; there is no reason for civilians to possess such weaponry. Having reached thar conclusion I had my semi auto guns destroyed as per BATF&E insrtuctions.
