As opposed to a semi-automatic machine gun???
😁....................
I went to a machine gun shoot some years back. You could buy ammo for any gun you wanted to shoot and the owner would supervise you as you fired the weapon.
I got to shoot a MAC 10, a British Lanchester, a Swedish K Model, a Thompson, a BAR, an AK-47 and finally an M2 .50 cal. At that point I ran out of ammo money...
The MAC was hard to control; a long burst would result in shooting holes in the sky.
The Lanchester was a pussycat, slow-firing with hardly any recoil. If you ran out of ammo it would make a good club.
The K Model was easy to make hits with and my favorite among the subguns. I could imagine shooting jackrabbits with it.
The Thompson was a bit of a disappointment because I had three stoppages while emptying its 20-round magazine. Still, I was glad to handle one.
The BAR: like a dream come true for someone who had watched numerous episodes of Combat! as a kid. Full auto .30/06, y’all!
Didn’t like the AK. Not very controllable or comfortable to shoot even when firing short bursts. Maybe I just dislike ugly commie guns.
Ma Deuce, now that was an experience! Ammo was armor-piercing and I was shooting at an old ‘70 Eldorado. The bullets were passing through it and kicking up dust from the earth berm on the far side. Wished I’d brought more $$$...
“UNREGISTERED” machineguns regardless of caliber or configuration are illegal ... and as of 1986, BATF is not allowed to issue new registrations.
All of which, of course, is repugnant to the Constitution.
ADD UKRAINE TO YOUR LIST, PLEASE.
UKRAINE IS A TOTAL BIDEN-HARRIS FUBAR!
They're both classified as Class III weapons and the stamp process is the same for both the silencer and the auto rifle.
I recently took possession of my first silencer. It took over five months from the time I first applied for the stamp until the silencer finally arrived in the mail.
Finger prints, passport photo, ATF forms, approval from local law enforcement.....
The merchant I purchased it thru was great. They guided you thru the whole process, providing links to the govt. and sending you the finger print kits.
