    Default Is it illegal to do this to an actual carbine?

    If this was performed on an actual firearm, would it be illegal? It's technically not a fully-automatic.

    I don't know the "rubberband thing" lol

    It's probably something dumb that I'm only just finding out now. Anyway, I'll edit when it uploads in a few minutes.

    Incorrect.

    It absolutely IS a machinegun per the fed definition.

    Yeah, that's the "shoestring" method and if done to a title-1 firearm your in violation of the NFA.

    Don't do it. Felony.

    MOst turds did it with Mini-14's


    I wonder if there were any Registered Shoestrings though.................






    LOL another AIrsoft video..... I wanted to see dude fire a real DE Full auto/shoestring mode and watch it fly out his hands.

    "This is the hardest kicking airsoft" LOL





    According to the BATFEATME! tech branch. The shoestring is a Machinegun itself cause it acts as an autosear.

    ALl my shoes are velcro.. just to be safe.

    "The term “machinegun” means any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger. The term shall also include the frame or receiver of any such weapon, any part designed and intended solely and exclusively, or combination of parts designed and intended, for use in converting a weapon into a machinegun, and any combination of parts from which a machinegun can be assembled if such parts are in the possession or under the control of a person."


    If that means I can't use this technique on an actual semi-automatic, then that also implies that I cannot have shoelaces on while firing a semi-automatic, as they may can be assembled under my control to create a "machine gun" XD

    Is it possible to register my twine and paperclip and do it legally? lol

    It is. It feels like 1/4 of a .22lr round lol. That's crazy for an airsoft gun, most airsoft guns don't even vibrate.

    Two things.


    1. If you do this to a gun you're going to get in trouble. Bottom line.

    2.What's up with the XD? Every so often you'll throw an XD into your posts.

    Is this some kind of new internet slang that i'm unaware of? Do you have tourettes syndrome of the keyboard?

    What's that all about? XD

    It's all about the 1 trigger press thing. Once you hook anything up to the gun to pull once and fire repeatedly it is a machine gun. You are pulling the "trigger" (shoestring or whatever) and letting it rock and roll.
