Interesting. When the second guy is shooting, you can see a bit where the shotgun is sort of floating on the mount, which says to me no spring (AA). It also looks as if they are using a recoil absorbing stock to help with recoil, which may or may not assist in a more controllable bumpfire.

Looks to me like it’ll end up in the same category as the Atkins Accelerator.

I thought the recent AR15 slidefire was approved, blessed, and deemed kosher by the ATF(hawk, spit).
I’m gonna hold out hope, no matter what, because that brings Abomination recreations within reach to us proles.
Very cool. Has anybody told Larry C about it yet?

On a 5.56, the Bumpfire seems like a neat gimmick. On a 12 gauge … not so much.

Man that little short barreled NFA Shorty has got me drooling!

That just looks painful.

Interesting, but accuracy??? not so much…

Until they fix the problem of shotshell deformation during long-term storage in magazines, that Saiga is still a toy.
A neat toy, but still a toy.

Re: shell deformation; How long is long term? Days, weeks, months? Just curious.

It can be as little as a week. It depends on the shotshell itself.
You can avoid this by using all brass shells, but not a lot of folks can reload them ( you need a press that handles large diameter dies ).
I suppose a drum mag would work, if you kept it unwound until needed.

Color me interested if this can work on a rifle.
