One pull of a trigger, one shot. Not a machine gun. Like pulling both triggers on a double barrel shotgun. One pull one shot.

Now if you have a device to actuate multiple triggers with one pull the ATF may frown on that. However it is not for us to say what they would think of such a device, it is up to the great guys over in Tech Branch.

Now a device that fires on a trigger pull and the trigger release has been presented to the ATF and they ruled that it is not a machinegun. They determined that releasing the trigger is a single and separate function and not full auto fire. I think people modify Mini 14s to fire this way.
