• The SFS BFR 'bump gun' is fed bullets from a belt and can fire thousands of rounds at a time
• 
  
• It will go on sale this autumn for $6,000
• 
  
• The weapon uses the recoil to 'bump' the gun, speeding up the rate of fire 
• It is technically still a semiautomatic weapon, which means it can be sold to the general public
•
