just handled one, switching to auto results in a shorter reset and the trigger does push forward as you cycle the action. However, I think you still need to let the trigger return a bit further than the auto assist before you engage the reset.
The trigger apparently pushes forward to some degree to aid in riding the reset via bumping, or such seems the idea. No one's claiming this thing simulates real full-auto by simply holding the trigger down - if it did, it would definitely be illegal.Saw the video, not really sure what makes it special. It looked like he was pulling the trigger very quickly, which really isn't very special.... What's the "trick"?

It goes up for pre-order on Dec 1st. $495.00

The fact that 1) it has a third position and 2) doesn't require an ass-ugly stock makes it seem like at least more of an option than the slide-fires. $500 seems steep, but I've blown more than that on toys before. If it functions like a 4.5lb really good single-stage in semi-auto and it has the pseudo bump-fire ability, I suppose that's not a super-crazy price... G2S would be $160, and a Slide-fire is like $300.
I am vaguely surprised that the BATFE approved it. Yeah, it's one shot per pull... but the whole positive reset thing seems iffy. I do see why it's different than the Atkins Accelerator - as long as it doesn't reset the trigger all the way.
Description of how it works lifted from ARFCOM:
I wonder how well the hammer would hold up to the blowback of a 22lr. The cost of the ammo it will eat won't be much of an issue then.
What about 9mm? slide fires can have issues, would this be the same?
