Good points about using rate of fire to define full auto.... it makes me think about the trigger on my carry gun, a Walther P99AS. It has a VERY VERY short reset, about a millimeter. After you get the feel of it, you can peel off 4 rounds per second easily, and can go to 5 with practice. I've hit 5 myself several times, just fooling around with it. The reset is so short, a couple of times I've fired it and then set off a second shot accidentally just from lowering my finger back down onto the trigger. Bang....BANG!!.. WHOA, WAIT A MINNIT!!!

Of course, I don't practice shooting in this manner, but if I wanted to really, seriously work on it, I could easily get my firing rate up to a lower full auto range of 300-350 rounds per minute.

I wonder if the ATF will end up approaching the issue with a "minimum reset travel" requirement.... hmmmmm...
