It would be as easy to make a bolt action into a "blowback" machine
gun as most semi autos that were not first designed as machine guns.

* Now that would take a Real Machinist ! I have a small machine shop
and I know where to get the plans to make a couple of different arms
into full autos . But that $250,000 fine and ten years in prison is a
pretty good deterrent . Especially since I don't have any arms that can
be easily converted - and have less than zero need for one . I prefer to
do my work with bolt actions at a slightly longer distance ... Rock
chucks at 400 meters anyone ?



I prefer just a six shot revolver.* It goes bang every time and won't
jam with brass at ejection.


Unless you're Jerry Miculek there is a bit of a pause between bang 6 and
bang 7.* Unless you've got one of those fancy Smith 627s of course. The
first time I saw someone shooting one of those there was a WTF? moment
at bang 7.

I always assumed I was slow to reload because I'm left handed but then I
realized right handed people do a juggling act too.



I prefer my revolver to my semi as I reload and it is a pain to pickup
ejected brass.
