Found a use, and it is fun. 22's all day weee. I still like real machine guns better... but on a gun you wouldn't care about spending that kinda cash on (like a 22 or m16 ) it is pretty fun.

Fun Yes, but I still dislike them. With a real full auto your sights are not moving as much so your fire is going to be more accurate than with them trying to climb while oscillating back and forth. Still fun to shoot though, until you figure in the cost of ammo.

Excessive heat, caused by using a rate of fire a weapon isn't designed for, can cause ruptured barrels and potentially harm the shooter. Elements within D.O.D. found that out the hard way during the M4 fielding back in the day.

Be careful.

I agree. With all that.. That is not my gun btw. Just me. I have bumped off a few rounds here and there over the years and with a decent trigger never needed a special stock for it. Barrel temps do not seem to be an issue but I am a little unsure if the chamber is all of the way closed at every detonation. If you look there is a lot of flame from the chamber. This is much more dangerous than an auto gun since it does reciprocate in your hands and there is nothing to time the hammer behind the bolt closure like an auto has.

I was able to keep all of those rounds in a target at 100m that was 12" round. The recoil is so low in the 22's it is far easier to keep an aimpoint on target than with a light m4 on burst IMO.

Call me uneducated, but will one of you kind gentlemen please explain what a slidefire is? Just tryin' to learn a little more every day.

Not a problem bud. It is a stock that goes on a rifle made to ease in bumpfiring a firearm. What it does is allows you to hold the grip and have the stock against your shoulder but lets the gun slide rearward into the stock when fired. Your finger is in a stationary position placed on an extension of the grip. You put your finger on that extension in front of the trigger and instead of pulling the trigger you pull the gun forward a little until the trigger is pulled. as the rifle recoils it slides back into the stock resetting the trigger. As you pull forward on the rifle forearm it makes the trigger pull again. It makes you pull the trigger for each time the gun fires so it is legal semi auto, BUT it happens so fast that the rate of fire can be 800+ rpm. If you have ever bumpfired a rifle (maybe using a hellfire spring or similar) it is the same thing. The stock just helps with control. At 100 meters I put all 35rds in the target which was a 12" steel plate using an aimpoint.

Rate of fire was aprox 860rds per minute. I don't care for the stocks that much as they are kinda ugly and overpriced. Not nearly the cost of a machinegun but not nearly the return on investment either. I would only use it in a cheap caliber like .22 or 9mm myself. I am making my own removable sliding stock now that will not be so ugly and in a 22 only AR. fun!
