42. Breaks what rules?

I mean to show National Firearms act is obsolete by new invention, ie: you can buy a machine gun
Not a good machine gun but one that breaks the rules and has great potential for harm in the exact right situation.

Previously debunked...and you participated in that thread ProgressiveProfessor Jan 2013 #1
It's not debunked because you say it is, it fires as fast as machine gun! MightyMopar Jan 2013 #2
Some machine guns fire quickly, some fire slowly. ManiacJoe Jan 2013 #14

Slate rarely gets technical things correct, and this story is no different ProgressiveProfessor Jan 2013 #28
Well, What Do You Expect Of The Progressive Media, Mr. "Progressive"? Paladin Jan 2013 #33
I expect accuracy from the media on technical matters. I am oft disappointed, regardless of ProgressiveProfessor Jan 2013 #40

900 rounds per minute equals 15 rounds per second. That better? Scuba Jan 2013 #9
Not better, not worse. The same. Xipe Totec Jan 2013 #10
So if the headline read "This Simple, Legal Add-On Lets an AR-15 Rifle Fire 15 Rounds er Second" .. Scuba Jan 2013 #11
The same; there is a limit to how much weight a mass murderer can carry arround. Xipe Totec Jan 2013 #13
And the less ammo he has, the fewer people he can kill. I like my logic lesson better than yours. Scuba Jan 2013 #15
He can carry the same ammo, just shoot slower and aim better. Xipe Totec Jan 2013 #17

The logic is quite simple Xipe Totec Jan 2013 #21

You can do far more damage with ricin Xipe Totec Jan 2013 #24
And ricin is just as easily procurable as ammo. What a silly comparison. EOTE Jan 2013 #51
Ricin is not procurable; it is synthesizable Xipe Totec Jan 2013 #56
Any idiot can get a shit load of ammo. EOTE Jan 2013 #57
See post #17 nt Xipe Totec Jan 2013 #63
Once again, a very foolish argument. EOTE Jan 2013 #64

At about a half a buck per round, that is a very expensive minute. OffWithTheirHeads Jan 2013 #6
If you are going to be dead afterwards, the splurge probably doesnt matter. nt stevenleser Jan 2013 #43
That's the fundamental problem; there's little you can do to stop a kamikaze Xipe Totec Jan 2013 #44
I disagree. Guns make them too easy is the issue. Without guns, someone trying to cause stevenleser Jan 2013 #46
If you read my post you'll see we are in total agreement. nt Xipe Totec Jan 2013 #47
Is bump-firing used in many murders? cthulu2016 Jan 2013 #7
If it's legal to pack a 900-rounds-per-minute assault weapon on one's hip, great comfort can be indepat Jan 2013 #8
I gotta get one.... just my style! Bill USA Jan 2013 #12

Has anyone fired 900 rounds in a minute using this technique? cthulu2016 Jan 2013 #16
The rate of fire cannot be maintained for the full minute ManiacJoe Jan 2013 #20
No, but you can dump a 100 round mag in about seven seconds. RomneyLies Jan 2013 #32
If you're looking down the wrong end of one it doesn't matter. nt rrneck Jan 2013 #19
I don't know if the modification would work..... Red Mountain Jan 2013 #23
It's extremely effective. RomneyLies Jan 2013 #34
Why does the USMC preach semi-only then? sir pball Jan 2013 #58
You get far more contro with a slide stock and semi-automatic RomneyLies Jan 2013 #59
Huh sir pball Jan 2013 #60
I'd never fire off 20 rounds in one go RomneyLies Jan 2013 #61
I did, once sir pball Jan 2013 #62
Those 100 round mags are not reliable. More likely to jam prior to any melt down ProgressiveProfessor Jan 2013 #36
So what did the ATF say about the slide fire? ileus Jan 2013 #25
100% legal as the weapon is still semi-automatic RomneyLies Jan 2013 #35
I'd think with most cheap AR's this would just make a jam-o-matic. ileus Jan 2013 #39
And a great tool for Darwin and Murphy SQUEE Jan 2013 #48
A friend of mines DPMS went Kaboom this year. ileus Jan 2013 #52
Then write your legislators and the ATF about it NickB79 Jan 2013 #26

It's legal because it's a waste of money. Heimer Jan 2013 #45
Subjective and not relevant...also can be used for suppression fire against police... uponit7771 Jan 2013 #54
I for one disagree, I don't trust the hired guns of the PTB SQUEE Jan 2013 #55
When you absolutely, positively got to kill every motherfucker in the room, accept no substitutes. krawhitham Jan 2013 #49
Actually this would be horrible at doing that Recursion Jan 2013 #53
But, but, but...criminals don't obey laws, so we can't ban those modifications! Tommy_Carcetti Jan 2013 #50
