    You could but number one….IT IS EXTREMELY ILLEGAL!!! lol. Not to mention the cost

    Of ammo. Sure it would be fun, but in a practical tactical or home defense situation,

    It would not be the hot ser up. Your better off working on your grouping and drills

    Like tactical re loads and what not. Use the fresh mag to remove the spent one. That's

    How spetznas does it. It tricky but with enough time itll come to you. Simple drills like

    This will make you way more ahead of the game than bieng full auto. In a real fire fight,

    its my opinion that a few well placed shots are far more effective than a spray of bullets.

    not to mention,again, that FULLY AUTOMATIC WEAPONS WITH OUT PROPPER

    PERMITS ARE SUPER BIG TIME ILLEGAL!!!! NOT COUNTY JAIL KINDA ILLEGAL, MORE

    LIKE FEDERAL PRISON KINDA ILLEGAL!!! lol. But thats just my opinion.lol. happy shooting!!

    How would you "switch" it without "converting" it?

    Yes, you could make the switch, though it would be difficult, illegal, and require a small investment. You can find the instructions online, or find a legally ambiguous gunsmith.

    Dont really know why you would want to. Nothing wrong with semi-auto.

    There is a legal way to have, basically, an almost automatic rate of fire. There are trigger kits that have a wheel you can rotate that click once for each pull of the trigger, qualifying as semi-automatic. They cost about $ 20 online.

    But, your accuracy will suffer, and will waste your money. Stick with semi auto, boy.

    yes. it takes two things – a screwdriver and knowing how to use it. paperwork doesn't have anything to do with it.

    Probably, but you better not get caught with it.

    When you figure it out, let me know how so I can do mine!
