Would you be interested in fully automatic if the price was the same?

[BehindBlueI's]

Thread title pretty much sums it up. If the paperwork and cost were essentially the same, would you purchase a fully automatic version of a weapon you already own?

Example, would you purchase a Glock 18 for the same cost and paperwork as you can currently purchase a Glock 17 for?

Would you purchase a fully automatic M16 for the same cost and paperwork as a current production semi-auto AR-15?

No additional paperwork, just the standard NICS check.
No additional cost, MSRP is within $10 of each other.
No additional transfer restrictions, no $200 tax stamp.

Um,.......yah,....duh.

Probably my shortest response ever.

Yep. I'd love to have some select fire firearms, but I'm not currently willing to pay what they want and jump through the required hoops.

 

[The Bubba Effect]

Yes

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

I can't imagine too many folks saying 'no' to such a proposition.

 

[roadrunner681]

aren't full autos actually simpler? so wouldn't they actually be cheaper to make? but i would love a full auto ak74

 

[VN Vet]

Yes, but I would also want the 3-round burst option.

 

[Trigger Time]

No doubt. Yes!

 

[Sling10mm]

Certainly, but I probably wouldn't be doing a bunch of mag dumps at current ammunition prices.

 

[Que]

Yes! YES! Yep! and Ohhhhh Yeeeeahhhhhhh!

 

[lovemachine]

YES. And I'd buy multiple toys as well.

 

[FCS-04]

No I don't like full auto......
Said no one ever. Hells yes I would purchase select fire if it was affordable.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Without question and if we had something like my Federal Collector's License it would come to pass.

SMGs would be far more popular than 18K M240Bs.

 

[BehindBlueI's]

Yes! YES! Yep! and Ohhhhh Yeeeeahhhhhhh!

I'm sorry, Que, could you be a bit more clear? You seem ambivalent...right? Leaning toward no?

 

[Bennettjh]

That poll should be purple... Uh, YES!!!

 

[Mgderf]

Without a second thought. I would choose the select-fire version over a semi-auto [STRIKE]any[/STRIKE] every day of the week.

Then I'd figure out how to feed it.

i voted yes, and i believe i would buy more than one.
i understand why the person in the other post said most of would not want one. he was wrong but i understand why he would think that. Even before all this crap started, ammo was not exactly cheap. mil surplus on just about everything is about gone.
and i am a firm believer the advent of the full auto rifle was the death of the marksman.
if i had a full auto m4, it would not be my go to gun when things go bump in the night. if a big russian tank was rolling down the street with soldiers all around it, i would not use full auto against them. 1 well placed shot beats a whole but load of misses anyday.
but i still want one, why? cause i freakin can! i thought that was what this country was supposed to be about in the first place.
going out and dumping 500 dollars worth of ammo in like 3 minutes because its fun. that is the freedom our fore fathers wanted for us.
and i believe a suppressor is a safety device that should be present on any home protection weapon.
Rant complete.

I have no interest in FA. For sure don't want to get stuck with the crap trigger from the 3 round burst model.

 

[ru44mag]

I said no because of the cost of ammo. Now if somebody would supply me with the ammo...now that would be different. Many many years ago I was able to shoot some different autos. I gotta say the MG-34 was soooo cool. Thought I was Rambo. LOL. But I wasn't paying for those 8mms either.

 

[Mosinguy]

I'd love full-auto if it was cheaper to buy. The ammo costs however would kill me.
