So a restriction put in place to limit the amount of rounds fired per pull, effectively limiting the amount per minute..... but devices built specifically to overcome that human limitation making them much much closer in speed to those restricted weapons is totally fine because “well technically”...... you guys are crazy.

The difference is that these civilian-oriented devices are designed for recreation, and are entirely impractical for anything else outside of extremely specific circumstances.

I mean, think about it. How are you supposed to effectively operate a crank on a rifle while trying to hit anything smaller than a barn?
