The Akins used a spring to facilitate the rapid firing. But that thought has occured to me as well. I would hate to buy it and have it banned and be forced to return it w/o refund.
Yea, FPS Russia did something on this boasting how it was legal and all I could think was, "Yea until they see this and rewright the legislation".
The NFA calls a "machine gun by the following;
"
2.1.6 Machinegun. Firearms within the definition of machinegun include weapons that shoot, are
designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot without manual
reloading by a single function of the trigger."
also..
"Included within the definition of machinegun is any part designed and intended solely and exclusively,
or combination of parts designed and intended, for use in converting a weapon into a machinegun. This
portion of the machinegun definition addresses what are commonly referred to as conversion kits. The
“any part designed and intended solely and exclusively” language refers to a part that was produced for
no other reason than to convert a weapon into a machinegun."
Technically there is a mechanical device allowing for this to hapen because the user is not releasing the trigger and pulling again manually. I think it isn't long before these dissapear and people are out some money, or getting tax stamps to keep them.
