      A bump stock arguably makes it full auto, but it doesn’t make it a machinegun.

      Arguably the reason this thread is confused is that the word ‘machine gun’ doesn’t refer so much to physical characteristics, but more to a usage: they’re meant for sustained covering fire rather than short bursts.
