Hey Guys,
I learned to bump fire from the shoulder this weekend,I still need to practice but dumped six pretty consistant mags. It looks way cooler than from the hip. I have two questions for the bump fire gurus.
1. Which do you think bumps the best, the A-2 full length buffer and stock or the short car stock and shorter buffer. It seems to me that my 20"A-2 bumps a little slower but a lot smoother. The stubby stock seems to cycle much faster but is harder to dump the whole mag without any glitches. QUESTION 2. If the bolt follows the hammer down and strikes the primer slightly but is not re-cocked and stops the action, are you pushing to hard with your left hand or not hard enough?
Thanks in advance for any help and tips.

You are not pushing hard enough.

But, it could also be a tough primer.  You get those occassionally.

I prefer the CAR stock for shoulder bumping.  My suppressed 9mm AR is a tricky little thing to bump.  Not much recoil.  I have found that a forward grip makes it very hard to bump.  Not sure why.

You ever bumped an M-14?  LOL

When you guys do the shoulder bump, how exactly do you hold the pistol grip?  

I'm also assuming the sholder stock does not acutally touch you, is that right?

you DON'T hold the pistol grip.  The left hand supports the entire gun.

HOLY &*(%$%

I have to admit, I've never tried bumpfiring and I had NO idea you could get going that fast.  I heard about a guy "racing" his oly against an m16 I believe, but I guess it never hit me how badass it is.  

I just bought my first AR... a Varminter, so I think I might be out of luck when it comes to bumpfiring effectively.  Not to mention I might just have to give it a try.

Bumpfiring alone seems like a good enough reasont to buy another AR.  hehehe

Good stuff

When you bumpfire from the shoulder, do you use the index finger or the thumb for the trigger? Is there a video or website that shows exactly how to bump from the shoulder?
