      You can, they just cost like $10k-$50k (if you want one legally).

      Otherwise, crime gonna crime.

        Lol yeah that’s true. I’m just assuming they didn’t mean that only eccentric rich people can get automatic assault rifles, whatever that contradiction in terms means.

      Modifying them is trivially easy, so any can be full auto, but burst fire is superior anyway. Full auto is only for psychological coolness.
