Caution: These videos are presented purely for entertainment value only. MILSURPS.COM in no way endorses anyone trying this "bump firing" technique themselves. If you don't know what you're doing and mishandle the firearm, the results could be highly dangerous to you, or the people standing around you. It's also possible that doing this could cause rounds to leave the range over the backstop, thereby endangering people outside your club and possibly causing your club to be shut down if it's reported.

Tom, you put your thump through the trigger guard and then hokk it to a belt loop or pocket so that the back of your thumb is in contact with the trigger. You then pull forward on the weapon with the other hand and that will put tension on the trigger thumb and pull the trigger. The rifle will shoot. The recoil from the rifle will reset the trigger and sear until your pulling forward on the rifle pulls the trigger again and recoil will reset the trigger and sear again and again and again. It will dump eight rounds like now!

Bump fireng is very danjerous as you can't keep a good backstop or target in your sites.

"Bump firing is very dangerous, as you can't keep a good backstop or target in your sights." Made a couple of corrections....You're welcome.

I mean we have been here for two bloody days, and i have already at least 15-20 messages about this 'RickB' 'Rick B' 'Stockdoc' Rborecky' crap already. Just leave it alone and get on with the forum.

This is supposed to be a community of ADULTS discussing Garands with the odd O/T thread.

God Almighty this is frustrating!!!

What a waste of ammo. I have seen this clip before and thought that it was a waste then, when ammo was 20 cents a round. I used to do mag dumps with my SKS and ar when ammo was .06 to .10 cents a round...shipped. Mainly the mag dumps were more or less trigger control with the round being sort of close to the target. More like a double tap x 10. I would never do this with a garand.

I wear barrels out too fast the way it is without doing things like this.
