There have been a lot of talk in the news lately about something called a bump stock.

最近新聞中常常討論到一個稱作「撞火槍托」的東西

Now where I live in Utah, shooting guns is a fairly recreational activity.

我居住的猶他州，射擊運動是一個頗為正當的休閒活動

I would say Texas, Utah, and Idaho have plenty of guns distributed between the general population.

德州、猶他州、愛達荷州擁槍的民眾相當普遍

And it's kind of like a hobby thing.

這算是一種嗜好

People go out to shoot guns and it's even a great date idea.

出門射擊槍枝，這甚至是一種不錯的約會型式

And I've owned plenty of guns in my life, and my family, and it's just kind of like

我一生擁有許多把槍，我的家人也是，這有點像是

part of the custom and part of the culture.

習俗或文化中的一部分

But lately there's been something in the news called a bump stock and how it attaches to

但最近新聞中出現一種叫做「撞火槍托」的東西，和它安裝在

a semi-automatic rifle.

半自動步槍上的方法

Now, I've never used a bump stock before, but I am curious as to how easy it is to install,

我從來沒用過撞火槍托，但我好奇它的安裝方式有多簡單

what it's made of, and what it can actually do.

它是怎麼製造的，和它的實際功用

So yesterday I went out and bought an AR-15.

所以，昨天我出門買了一把 AR-15 步槍

This particular setup is about $1,500.

這種特製版大約 1500 美金

I walked into a local sports store and picked out the gun I wanted.

我走進當地運動用品店，拿了一把我要的槍

They did a background check and I walked out of there.

店家進行背景調查，接著我走出商店

So the thing about an AR-15 is that it's pretty customize-able.

AR-15 步槍相當適合客製化

You can swap out the barrels, you can swap out the lowers.

可以更換槍管、更換下機匣

You can put scopes on the rails.

可以在魚骨上加裝瞄準鏡

You can swap out the back stock.

也可以更換槍托

And this stock part is what we're going to be talking about today because the bump stock

而槍托是我們今天要討論的部分，因為撞火槍托取代槍枝的把手和槍托

replaces the handle of the gun and the stock of the gun and allows you to fire at an automatic

能讓半自動武器

rate with a semi-automatic weapon.

等同全自動武器的射速

I'll explain what those mean in a second.

接下來我再解釋這個意思

So while I'm pretty familiar with guns, I am not a gun expert by any means.

雖然我相當了解槍枝，但我畢竟不是槍枝專家

I literally just bought this gun yesterday and this video is purely to just see what

我昨天才買到這把槍，這部影片純粹示範

a bump stock is capable of doing.

撞火槍托的實際用處

After major tragedies like the one in Las Vegas or the one in Texas, people call for

在像是拉斯維加斯和德州發生的重大悲劇後，大家要求要

stricter legislation on guns in general, and in particular, these bump stocks.

更嚴格的槍枝管控，尤其是這些撞火槍托

But only by learning about them and knowing what they're capable of can we make the most

但是了解它們的功能並知道他們能做什麼才能做出

educated decision.

最明智的決策

I was able to purchase a bump stock of my own.

我能自己購買撞火槍托

These are available online from multiple websites and local classifieds.

撞火槍托能在各大網站及當地分類廣告買得到

This one cost me about $400.

這花了我 400 美元

So we're going to install it on the AR-15 right now and see what it can do.

現在，我要把它裝在 AR-15 步槍上，並看看它的功用

So right now we're going to shoot this several times.

現在，我要射擊這把槍好幾次

Right now the bump stock is not in place and we're going to see how many rounds we can

撞火槍托還沒有安裝上去，來看看沒有撞火槍托

get off without the help of a bump stock.

我能打掉幾發子彈

So this gun is semi-automatic, so every time I pull the trigger there's going to be a bullet

這把槍是半自動步槍，每次扣下板機就會有一發子彈

leaving out the end of the chamber.

從槍膛射出

So I'm going to cock back the gun.

我現在要上膛

That puts a bullet into the chamber.

這會把一發子彈送到槍膛

The safety is now off and I'm ready to fire.

現在保險開了，準備射擊

[Shooting sounds]

[射擊聲]

That was relatively quick.

這還滿快的

So this is a 40 round clip and so every time I pull the trigger 40 times, I can lose all

這是 40 發子彈的彈夾，扣下板機 40 次

the ammo inside of that clip, and that was pretty fast.

可以把所有子彈打掉，速度滿快的

You can get a lot of shots off in a pretty short amount of time.

可以在很短時間內擊發很多次

So now let's install the bump stock, and as a newb, I've never shot with a bump stock before.

現在來把撞火槍托裝上去，而身為一個以前從未使用過撞火槍托的新手

We'll see if it's possible to shoot faster than it is with just a straight trigger.

來看看是否能比普通板機射得更快

So how the bump stock works is actually incredibly simple.

撞火槍托的原理相當簡單

The gun slides around inside of the stock and uses the recoil of the gun to shoot more bullets.

槍會在擊發後前後滑動，撞火槍托利用擊發的後座力來提升射速

This piece is pretty important.

這一個零件很重要

I'm a right-handed shooter so I use my right hand to pull the trigger.

我是右撇子，所以我用右手扣板機

And so I'm going to take this piece of plastic, slide it onto the gun, and it blocks the trigger on one side.

我要把這塊塑膠裝到槍上，把板機的其中一邊擋住

So when I grab the gun, I rest my finger on that piece of plastic on the far side.

握住槍後，我把手指放到塑膠片末端

And then using the gun, I can pull forward with this hand, my finger connects with the

接著開槍，我可以用這支手把槍往前推，把手指跟板機合為一體

trigger, pulls it, and then the gun will bounce back and forth.

拉動，接著槍就會前後擺動

And each time it hits my finger, it will shoot another round.

每次撞到我的手指後，就會射一發子彈

And since the gun is doing it all automatically, it can pull the trigger faster than I can

因為武器變成全自動擊發，所以發射速度會比

pull the trigger.

純粹用手指扣板機還快

Hence the full auto function of the bump stock.

因為撞火槍托的全自動發射功能

So these are the bullets right here.

子彈就全在這裡

We have a five five six and it's just a whole box of these things.

這裡有一整箱的 5.56 口徑子彈

These things are about 40 cents a piece.

每顆子彈大約 40 分美金

So I also got these clips.

還有這些彈夾

These clips hold 40 rounds.

每個彈夾可以裝 40 發子彈

They are about $20 each, and I can take little bullets and just pop them into the top.

一個彈夾大約 20 元美金，可以把子彈放進彈夾中，子彈會送到最上面

And then the whole clip just slides into the gun when you're ready to shoot.

當你準備開槍時，把整個彈夾送進槍裡就可以了

This is my first time shooting with the bump stock so we'll see how it goes.

這是我第一次用撞火槍托，讓我們來看看囉

I got the clip in place.

放入彈夾

The stock is functional.

撞火槍托可以滑動

Safety is off.

保險開了

We're loaded, and let's see how this works.

子彈上膛，來看效果怎麼樣囉

[Shooting sounds]

[槍聲]

Okay, that was faster than I expected.

好的，比我想像得還要快

[Shooting sounds]

[槍聲]

So that shot much faster than I anticipated, obviously.

很顯然，比我預期中射得還快

And each time I shoot one of these clips by the way, it's about 16 American dollars – 16 US dollars.

順帶一提，射完一個這種彈夾要花 16 美金

So it's a lot of ammo going very very quickly.

大量子彈非常快速的射完

What we're going to do right now is I'm going to do it one more time, but this time we're

我們要再射一次，但這次

going to shoot it in slow motion using a Galaxy S8, and you can pay attention to the stock

我們要用三星 S8 手機的慢動作功能拍攝，觀眾可以注意撞火槍托跟

and the trigger and watch how the gun is recoiling inside of the bump stock so we can get a better

手指的連接，以及槍枝後座力撞擊撞火槍托作動的畫面

idea of how it works.

進一步撞火槍托的運作原理

So watch here as my hand pulls forward on the barrel of the gun.

看看我把手抓住槍管向前推

This brings the trigger up to my stationary trigger finger.

撞火槍托讓我不動的手指持續扣下板機

My finger never moves, but still connects with the trigger due to the forward motion

手指沒動過，但因為槍枝向前推動的力道

of the gun.

所以手指仍然持續扣下板機

The gunman fires and the recoil brings the gun back to my stationary finger over and

槍手開槍，而後座力不斷將槍退到

over, causing the trigger to be pulled again and again very quickly, until I run out of ammo.

不動的手指上，使板機持續快速觸發，打到沒子彈為止

Accuracy is severely compromised, but accuracy isn't really the point of full auto.

準度被大大犧牲，但這並不是全自動武器的重點

Here's the semi-auto firing rate one more time.

這是另一次半自動模式的射速

[Shooting sounds]

[槍聲]

My finger was pulling the trigger manually.

我用手指手動扣板機

And here it is again with the currently fully legal bump stock installed on the AR-15.

而以下是目前完全合法，裝在 AR-15 步槍上的撞火槍托

[Shooting sounds]

[槍聲]

I'll be pretty honest.

我老實說

I'm pretty blown away with how well the bump stock works and how much ammo it can throw

我很驚訝撞火槍托的效果，以及子彈射出的

out of the gun as fast as it did.

速度有多快

I was not expecting that.

我沒有預料到

Now as far as all the controversy goes, I'm not going to jump into that on this channel.

就這個爭議持續發燒而言，我並沒有要在這頻道討論這個

Personally, I think that guns are a great hobby, but not everyone in the world is sane

對我來說，射擊是一個很棒的嗜好，但並不是每個人的神智都正常

and they can turn something good and fun into something absolutely terrible –

他們把原本好的東西變得完全糟透—

not just with guns, but with cars, vehicles, anything can be turned into something bad.

不只是槍，還有車子、載具，和一切可以濫用的東西

Like always, you're more than welcome to comment about this stuff in the comment sections right below this video,

如同往常，歡迎到影片下方留言區討論撞火槍托

but make sure to keep it a conversation and not an argument.

但請以討論方式，而非爭吵

Let's keep in constructive and productive.

維持討論建設性與有生產力的

So even though this video was quite a bit different then what I usually do on this channel,

即使這部影片跟我先前頻道中的影片有點不同

I think it was interesting and useful.

但我認為這很有趣且有用

Knowledge is power and now we know what bump stocks are capable of and what they can do.

知識就是力量，而現在我們知道了撞火槍托的功用與效果

And we can make more educated decisions on whether they should be banned or just kept

我們可以對於它該被禁止或是保留

in existence.

作出明智的選擇

Let me know what you think down in the comments, and keep it constructive and not destructive.

在下面留言，讓我知道你們的想法，記得留言要有建設性而非仇恨言論
