Today, civilians can legally buy only machine gunsAs long as they're not select fire
"It can be fun, but it's harder to hit things than you think,"
That's true for just about all guns.

They also sell non-NFA(regular) firearms and accessories. I'm still waiting for them to get the new FN FS2000 and SIG556 rifles in.

Oh GOD would that be fun. I can even see exactly how it would pan out:
"Nyah, copper! You'll never take me alive, see! I'm coming out with both fists blazin', seeeee!"

As long as they're not select fire Civilians in states that allow it can buy select-fire MGs registered before 1986 like the article says. There are only a few states that allow only non-select-fire(full auto only) MGs like CT.

It's the same state where any gun that has Kalashnikov written on itis banned, period. Which is why I have had to settle for my Romanian SAR2.

In my gun club [in Massachusetts, no less] there was a guy with a legally owned SMG. He would come to the range about once a month, burn through $50 [some 400 rounds] of 9mm ammo in maybe 10 or 15 minutes, and leave till his next sighting. He didn't reload, even. Shooting full auto is fun, but is on the pricey side.

Shooting full auto is fun, but is on the pricey side.That's one reason to make your own reloads. That, and it's fun.

Cheaper 9 mm is about 11-12 cents a shot. Reloading would be about 6-7 cents in components + time. Even on progressive manual press one could do maybe 300 rounds an hour [sustained rate]. Thus one would be saving about $15/hour by reloading 9mm for a SMG. More, that guy I mentioned would be spending an hour and a half just to reload enough ammo for his 10-15 min session.

People don't reload strictly for the price savings as your post alludes to. I do it for the hobby and to try out some funky loads.

I reload because I just flat out like to do it. I have been reloading since I was a young man and I started because of cost but kept doing it because I like it:)

i'd assume anyone with the money to afford a full auto, probably doesn't worry too much about ammo costs.

And the odd-looking PS90 is a civilian version of a weapon used by the Secret Service. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"PS90"? Whazzat?
I Googled for an image of "PS90" (expecting to get a pic of some old elementary school) and got all sorts of (non-firearm) pix -- including one of a blonde I definitely wouldn't post here...
On a guess the gun-ignorant reporterette meant the FN P90, I tried "P90":
Seems that it was only a day or so ago that another ignorant article by this same gundummybimbo was posted here on FR...

That, I believe, *is* the designation for the civvie P90. Has a disappointingly long barrel, though. Looks goofy that way.
