Adds pistol converters to the definition of rapid-fire modification devices, subjecting them to the same restrictions as bump stocks and similar devices that accelerate the rate of fire of semi-automatic firearms.

"Rapid-fire modification device" means any bump stock, trigger crank, binary trigger system, burst trigger system, pistol converter, or any other device that is designed to accelerate the rate of fire of a semi-automatic firearm, rifle or shotgun.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill expands the definition of 'rapid-fire modification device' in the penal law to explicitly include pistol converters, which restricts access to and use of these firearm accessories by classifying them under existing prohibitions on devices that accelerate the rate of fire of semi-automatic weapons.
