bump stocks
Automatic fire simulators
A bump stock is a firearm accessory that replaces a rifle's standard stock and uses the weapon's recoil to help the shooter fire rapidly—simulating automatic fire while technically pulling the trigger for each shot.
Bump stocks gained notoriety after their use in the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting, leading to a federal ban in 2019.
The ATF reclassified bump stocks as machine guns.
