Kel-Tec PLR-16 Pistol: It’s not an AR, but it can take AR magazines. What is this…this thing?

This weapon can be modified to fire full auto, like the TEC-9 Dylan Klebold used to shoot up Columbine, because it fires on open bolt, right?

The blurb claims that the weapon uses the same “breech lock mechanism as the AR,” so, it would not fire from an open bolt. It is also unlikely in this day and age that BATFU would approve ANY new semi-auto for sale to people that fires from an open bolt.. for exactly the reason you posit.

9 inch barrel!? Word of advice from a man who lost most his hearing to things that go "bang!": double up on your ear protection (plugs AND muffs) before pulling the trigger on this little beast. I'll bet muzzle blast is impressive too.

iirc the BATFAGS have banned open bolt semiautos.

Interesting, I bet its going to raise a stink that it can defeat most body armor, especially with tungsten cored bullets, I would dearly love to have one loaded up with some .224 Barnes Varmint Grenade frangibles.
It just screams to be rechambered to the .204.

This weapon can be modified to fire full auto, like the TEC-9 Dylan Klebold used to shoot up Columbine, because it fires on open bolt, right? No, it's a closed-bolt design. Also, most of the inner parts don't interchange with their AR-15 counterparts, so there's no easy way to modify the Kel-Tec using M-16 selector, bolt carrier, hammer, trigger, etc.

No.
Fires closed bolt.
BATFE won’t approve sale of anything that can “easily” be modified to full auto. (Anything can be converted, but you need enough tools and skill that you could “modify” a solid block of steel to full auto.)

tungsten cored As defined by law (not sanity), that would constitute "armor piercing" and is thus prohibited from civilian manufacture.
