(4,033 posts)43. As far as the hunting rifle question,
#6 is the only one that can be bump fired. It is based on an AR-15 type system. The others are either bolt guns, or single shots, with a lever gun thrown in. These are impossible to bump fire, unless your name is John Moses Browning, in which he could make that lever gun "sing" with today's machining marvels.
As far as semi-auto's being bump fired, I'm fairly certain nearly all semi's can, but who would want to bump fire an M-1, or similar full house cartridge? I'd think the recoil would be unmanageable for most, and would definitely scatter bullets all over the place. I wouldn't want to attempt it, I'd like to keep my trigger finger where it is, not bent back double, or ripped off, laying on the ground.
