clarification of misconception follows;
full auto is legal to own.but;it must be a gun or sear/triggerpack/lower,registered prior to may 1986 you must pay a $200 tax for each and it must be possesion legal in your state.you must have a permission signature from your cheif leo or attn general of your state and pass a fed background check.
becuase the number of fully transferable(reg b4 may86)is limited and demand is high the prices are outrageous and getting worse by the month so if you "wantee"better "gettie"asap.
i belive the thread starter knows this and ment;"what would you have if they were as easy to get as a turkish mauser.

Living where I live now, which is a decidedly more urban area that would be very vulnerable to rioting or urban warfare in the event the reconquistas get serious... yes, oh hell yes, full auto would be indespensible for supressing movement of combatants getting too close to my home. Keep in mind, I'm thinking a full auto M1919 (belt fed) behind a fortification of some sort, like sandbags.
For small arms, I don't personally have interest in carrying something capable of full auto, but I'd like a select fire option on my MBR to do a two-shot or three shot burst mode.

Sure, I would!
But I'd probably just keep it around to look at and handle. Maybe twice a year, I'd fire it for fun. Like someone said, a minute of firing costs you in the hundreds of dollars. A fun ten minutes of firing and you'd be firing off a budget for a half-dozen guns.

i love my full autos.....! i think alot of other people do too. they'd probably buy them if they were more affordable.
Yes
Full auto is legal right now, and I own a machine gun now.
If the NFA was repealed I don't know if my buying habits would change at all. I own SBRs, SBSs, suppressors, and a machine gun now.
Yeah, I suppose that I might buy an HK MP5, but I have thought about buying one anyway.

If NFA were abolished tomorrow I'd get suppressors first.

I'd never get belts feds or anything crew served, but the obligatory MP5 would be nice, along with a g36 and a couple automatic carbines.....
Even with no NFA the belt fed stuff would be cost prohibitive.

"I kind of lost the love for full auto weapons right now. Heck I don't shoot anymore."
A couple mags of 9mm through an M11 would re-vitalize the love. You do love fun? Don't you?
Class 3's are heavily restricted, legal in many parts of the U.S. and are FUN in match shoots or just generally hosing things down on a range.
They wouldn't be more FUN if they weren't so heavily restricted and more affordable. It would just be less expensive....

An mg42 session every once in awhile would just have to be good for the soul and the ammunition industry. I would also want to produce 2/3 scale 22 LR Kalashnikovs and Skorpions--who could resist one?
As we become more urbanized, every gun should incorporate a suppressor of some sort. A suppressed 300 Whisper or downloaded 45-70 single shot would be ideal for controlling urban deer populations.
Too bad we can't be trusted with dangerous things

Legal in Oklahoma, though I have no desire to jump through the hoops necessary to own one. If I was going to go through that process I would get a suppressor or a short barrelled shotgun. A range near me rents full autos and I go about once a year and blast a couple of hundred rounds of 7.62 x 39 or 9mm. Lots of fun, but it falls in the category of things I like to do once a year, like go to the rodeo or celebrate Christmas.

I was M249 SAW gunner for a while in the Army. You are suppose to do 6 to 9 round bursts to keep it 'effective fire' on target. The technique is to aim a little low, then walk your rounds in with the aid of your tracers.
It's meant to be a suppressing fire weapon as well as area target weapon.
Pretty much a long range shotgun.
Glad I wasn't a M60 gunner or I'd be deaf as a doornail. Hearing is shot as it is.

It is legal here too, but there are hoops to jump. I might one day. OTOH, I've had more FA fun with Sako/Valmets than a company of recruits, thanks to a friend in the service... the hunger has subsided and I'm quite happy with my semi AK-103.
If I'd go for the "collector status" as the major hoop is called here, I'd make a collection plan (required) on current Russian military small arms. The AN-94 Abakan (Avtomat Nikonova) would be my major item of interest. Look it up: http://club.guns.ru/eng/abakan.html

In a word yes. It's still legal just complicated and there are no 'new' guns.
If the NFA was repealed, I'd still be saving all my pennies... they just don't make NEW B.A.R.'s. Full auto 30-06 is a heck of a lot of fun.
I think I'd opt for a supressor and an SBR.
And they'd have to let in imports so I could get a Bizon.

Take away all the red tape of owning a full auto and I'd have one. You can't even legally transport one out of state without notifying the BATF. Under the present regulatory environment, the only reason I'd have one or more would be as an investment.

I'd be real nervous about getting one as an investment. Sure you could recoup your investment over time if the political environment stays the same, but just as likely you could lose your shirt if it changes. Let's say all of a sudden all the NFA goes away, your guns lose their inflated value as new select-fire guns are manufactured and the artificial scarcity dissapears. Or what if current laws become more restrictive and your investment loses all value when you can't sell it to someone.
Either way, buying a select-fire gun within the existing environment for any other reason than enjoyment seems to be a risky proposition. Ask those who invested in high-capacity mags before the AWB, but didn't sell them before the sunset. Did they make much on their "investment"?
