I think maybe not OK in WA if the rate of fire hits a certain level so proper selection of buffer spring and carrier weight might get one under the line. I didn't check RCW but memory says 5 rounds per sec is considered mg.

Online vids show rof close to 0.2 -0.25 sec per round so very possible to tune that timing. Might be ammo sensitive.


Please see our earlier discussion, linked above, which has the actual RCW. It's not as simple as rate of fire.

Yeah, FRT-15 meets every requirement in RCW except possibly rate of fire. I started the other thread.

Does it "[require] that the trigger be pressed for each shot"?

Rate of fire only matters if it doesn't require a separate trigger press for each shot.

Yeah it is hard to say...I believe it counts as manual press of trigger for each round. If any of you folks ever paintball...it feels the same as the Tippmann pneumatic response trigger. The reset force is heavier than the trigger let-off weight. Thus if you apply just enough constant weight to drop the hammer, you will let of the following shots as soon as the trigger is "forced" reset.

I agree that it technically does not violate the RCW machine gun def. But getting the jury/judge to agree with you is another story.

If you pull the trigger and hold it back it fires once.

If you quickly tap the trigger it fires once.

If you hold the trigger in a certain way it fires just like a bump stock or belt loop bump fire method - in which the trigger is actually pulled repeatedly but just with very small amounts of movement.

So, yeah, one pull one shot.

That's why I said it's about the rate of fire wording.


Also, long compound sentences with several "or" are terrible ways to write law.

Machinegun = single trigger pull AND rate of fire 5 per sec and better (basically)

Forced reset means mechanically it's multiple pulls so not MG (but this seems a point of contention).

If the bump fire aspect means multiple trigger pulls actually considered a single pull then the rate of fire "adjustments" to get under the 5 rps bar then not a MG.

So two reasons why not a MG under RCW.

That's what I was getting at.

...and then there's Jerry Miculek. He can fire 8 shots accurately on 1 target in 1 second. 8 shots on 4 targets in 1.06 seconds.

If it's a single shot per trigger pull, there should be no language related to rate of fire. Period.

For the paranoid but curious you could always to the goofy CA thing with a fixed mag for yet another reason to not be a MG under RCW.

This was briefly mentioned in another thread, but I think it's relevant to add it here.

The ATF recently declared that the FRT-15 is a machine gun, and Rare Breed is suing to have that ruling overturned:

Fuck the ATF, those lying douchebags. Yes, I'm still angry about the bullshit bump stock ruling.

I mean, fuck the AFT and Biden and all that...

But is anybody really surprised that a device that lets an AR15 fire continuously via the shooter applying constant pressure to the trigger got classified as a machinegun? Bump stocks at least had the excuse that they didn't alter the trigger mechanism, and they still required some technique to use. They just moved the body of the gun, trigger and all, back to your finger. These things are another story entirely. Apply constant pressure with your trigger finger, and the gun will fire until you stop or it's empty. I'm not saying they should be illegal, because they shouldn't even need to exist, but if bumpstocks were playing with fire, these triggers were sitting in the center of Mt Etna.

My only surprise is that it took as long as it did.

I'm not going to say that I'm surprised because I'm not . . . but once the ATF decides that it's okay to ignore the letter of the law (about one shot per trigger press) and make their own decisions, then the sky is the limit for them.

And, here is Rare Breed's response to the ATF . . . and it's worth a read. :rockout:

Let me summarize it for you: "Fuck you, you irresponsible, lying pieces of political shit who are trying to intimidate us without facts, and for political reasons. Fuck off, it's not a machine gun and we all know it, and you can kiss our asses."
