All it takes is a length of a steel wire [large paper clip would do] to tie the rear hammer hook of AK47 in the depressed [backward] position. If only the front hammer hook is operational, then one has an illegal machine gun. Your hoplophobe was ignorant and illiterate, that's all.
Cool.
I find that's the case on most things Liberals say.
The minute you start probing their minds about specifics,You quickly find out they ain't got a clue and wouldn't know where to buy one either.
How many rounds do you think such a contraption would fire continuously before something would let go? Would you have any control over it?
I once had a .22LR AR-7 that would double tap with one pull of the trigger one time with a certain magazine and then jam. I disposed of that magazine because #1 I didn't like it double-tapping, #2 I didn't like it jamming, and #3 I didn't want a semi-auto that was out of my control.
I've worked with selective-fire weapons and I expect them to function the way they are supposed to when the controls are set to that particular function. Anyone who tries to make a semi-auto do what it was not designed to do is not only breaking the law but is a fool as well for violating just about all of the rules of firearms safety.
The problem is that what you've got then is an uncontrolable and unreliable weapon. What you're describing is deactivating the disconnector, which means that once you pull the trigger, depending on the cyclic rate, and your luck, you may find that you empty your magazine (or not, due to jams or possibly actually allowing the hammer to catch on the sear) after the first trigger pull. This is NOT the way a really full-auto weapon works.
