i am buying a sam-7 next week but i am curious if the reduced recoil due to the muzzlebreak will make it harder or easier to bump fire if anyone knows i would love your input

I'm no expert in bump-firing (never done it), but I do know that recoil makes bump-firing possible, so I would guess that less recoil means lower chances of being able to bump-fire.

While Greenhorn is right, it would take one HELL of a muzzlebreak to keep you from bump firing.   Anyone making a break that good would make millions...

probably harder.
the only rifle i have ever bumped is my SAR2 in 5.45, which recoilwise i would compare to a 22 magnum!!!, so on second thought, i don't think it will be a problem!

Trust me...the SA M-7 will still have enough bump to bump!

I have only bumped a few guns in my life(Mini14, M1A, Bushy AR-15, and Polytech AK underfolder).Out of those 4 the AK bumped the best.So I don`t think you will have any problems muzzle brake or not.

Is it possible to bump-fire with an AR-15 AK shorty?  That thing barely has any recoil, and I thought I heard somewhere that AR-15s weren't the best guns for bump-firing anyway.

If it is possible, can someone give me some step-by-step directions on how to do so, or direct me to a good source of information about it?

Unfortunately, my mags (cheap steel mags) have jamming problems, and if I fire fast, it often jams every five rounds or so.  I think the follower is getting stuck as it rides up.

Fortunately I'm getting an AK-47 soon, so things should be easier then.

Well . . . .

I have one of those Saiga/Hesse/Ruskie AK-47 with the attached muzzle brakes (I know, I know, the "H" word  ! ! )  Anyway, the little sucker runs lke a clock  ! !  And man-o-man, can she bump-fire  ! ! Also have a SAR 1, and it too will bump-fire. But the Saiga is more fun  !!   Believe it or not, the brake really makes a difference  ! !
