Default Full auto - AR15 easy legal? conversion

Quote:
The Slide Fire Solutions SSAR-15 bump fire stock makes bump firing your AR15 M4 style carbine a breeze. Slide Fire Solutions uses polymer to create a high quality stock replacement that allows for easy bump firing of the AR15



Do they have any real shortcomings other than price ?

You mean other than fully automatic firing (or an approximation thereof) being almost entirely useless?

I imagine it could be comforting to know it is available
even if not needed .

However I was of course referring to usability
of the device .

Why?

I will pass. I prefer aimed fire.

I will avoid being in a situation where I need such.

I do not see how anyone can guarantee avoidance .

Presumably intelligent criminals will wait and watch for greatest advantage ,
highest level of surprise , numerical superiority .

Fully automatic fire from an AR remains essentially useless, regardless of situation. It will not afford you better defense against criminals. Quick, controlled semiautomatic shots- I'll take them every time.

I have a reasonable degree of experience and expertise in the use of the AR in close quarters fighting. The shortcomings of fully automatic fire are legion.

I am not trying to flog a dead horse but there are some other reasons to choose semi-auto aimed shots.

At least in the US, it is to your advantage because of the civil courts.

Slower aimed fire lessens the chances of non-combatants and other innocents getting shot.

Yup. When I did my urban ops instructor course one of the things hammered into us - even as infantry - is 100% shot accountability. We also had classes on the penetration of various weapons through various materials. With fully automatic fire you pretty much cannot know with certainty where the second and following shots will go. Give me an AR in semi auto and I'll have bloody accurate shots off as fast as can be usefully done. I'm happy with that.
