Designed to circumvent then-existing U.S. laws defining a machine gun, the Sputter Gun was a modification of the British Sten Submachine Gun. Lacking a trigger, the Sputter Gun was designed to, upon release of the bolt, fire multiple rounds until all ammunition was expended. The Sputter Gun was, however, reclassified as a machine gun by the ATF. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sputter_Gun)

That bicep clamp vertical grip combo might be an interesting option on a semi auto shotgun though.
Um, the ATF didn't think these were MGs by their own definitions? Hell, they've ruled that an SKS with a inverted firing pin that makes it slam-fire until empty was a MG, that doesn't sound any different than what this Sputter gun does. Altho now that I stop and think, the ATF seldom does anything that makes sense anymore. This does prove what I've been saying, that any machinist with the parts and metal stock can make a working machine gun, and if he can keep his own yap shut, nobody else would ever know he has it!
"the ATF seldom does anything that makes sense anymore"
Son, the ATF doesn't do ANYTHING that makes sense anymore. I understand that they're trying to uphold the law as best they can, but there's a limit to sanity.
All I can think of is "From Dusk Till Dawn"; I'm looking at Sex machine's upgrade...
