I got one when they first came out. Pretty much all the opinions are accurate. Lots of ammo, lots of money, toy, high cool factor. It works as advertised. Not sure how it makes the gun its on less practical. It has a twist knob to lock it in place so it wont slide. I like to bust off a mag every now and then with it. Certainly not for everyday use, unless money "ain't no thang"
I don't own one so I can't speak from personal experience but if it works as it seems to, then why is it a bad thing? You can lock it down so it will function as any AR-15 and who here wouldn't own a full auto M16 if given the chance? Yes, I know this is not "full auto" but its a close as many of us can get. IMHO, its just like a selector switch.
No function issues at all. I picked it up, was explained to how it works, shot 3 rd burst then a 5 rd them emptied that sucker. Its like riding a bike now.
I would imagine that if one had enough ammo to practice alot he could control the burst, but for me it drains the mag, then I have to wait ahwile to smile again.
I made a bit of a study of them, and when you look at slow motion videos, even of proficient and practiced users of these mechanisms, and compare it to someone firing actual full auto carbines, you will observe that the muzzle of the carbine equipped with a slide fire stock is moving erratically while firing, but with an actual full auto carbine the muzzle moves comparatively much less erratically, permitting superior aimed fire.
I'm sure they'd be fun to shoot. I'd likely only consider getting one in .22 long rifle, though, assuming one would work with a .22 without adjusting the trigger down to dangerously light levels.

Not enough recoil.
Apparently, some folks have addressed that issue by adjusting the triggers on their .22s down to hair trigger levels, so even very light recoil will operate the slide fire mechanism.

I honestly would expect nothing less since when using a slide fire since the gun has to move so much back and forth to operate unlike a full auto that can be braced and held tight
