The parts, called auto sears, can be fitted into semiautomatic weapons, including Glock pistols and AR-15 rifles, allowing shooters to empty their magazines with one pull of the trigger.

The weapons found include what Bouchard described as an AR-style pistol and a Glock semi-automatic handgun. Both were loaded with 40-round magazines, Bouchard said. The guns were not registered.

The devices, called “auto sears,” are a few inches in size and can be made on 3D printers. They allow users to automatically fire bullets from handguns or rifles by holding the triggers down.
