slamfire
A slamfire is a discharge of a firearm occurring as a cartridge is being loaded into the chamber. Some firearms are designed to slamfire, but the term also describes a malfunction of self-loading firearms. Shooters accustomed to firearms requiring trigger activation for discharge may be unprepared for a slamfire discharge.
Some military firearms are designed to fire from an open bolt condition to avoid unintended discharge of a chambered cartridge cooking off in a gun barrel heated by firing previous cartridges. Activating the trigger of such firearms releases the spring-loaded bolt to move forward stripping a cartridge from the magazine into the chamber. The firing pin impacts the primer as the cartridge is chambered, and the energy released by the discharging cartridge returns the bolt into an open position while ejecting the empty case.

National Slamfire Capable Shotgun Trigger action and the law.
The Feds have said that a trigger which will continue to fire with one pull of the trigger is bad juju. It doesn't discuss any other action that is required for that type of trigger to be a no-no. For example if you had a full auto trigger set up in an AR15 but had a bob sled permanently...- Discussion Thread
