In military usage, full auto fire is limited and soldiers are taught not to overheat the weapon. Its a light automatic rifle not a full up machine gun like the SAW. Bumping though a 100 round double snail magazine would seriously overheat the gun and damage it.

I assume you mean one of these: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/578817/slide-fire-ssar-15-sbs-standard-battle-stock-bump-fire-stock-ar-15-mil-spec-diameter-right-hand-polymer-black They may be selling well, but I have not seen one at public range. Seems more like bling than serious stuff. Damned expensive too.
