soooo pretty can't turn away.....

Is it only semi auto or can it go full auto?

THis variation semi. TO get a ful auto, one has to jump through quite a few loops if not LEO or military.

Bear in mind, it costs as much as my Bushmaster's! I'm really excited!

Spare battery compartment ? What do you need extra batteries for ?

Out side of that little bit of weirdness it looks like a damn fine rifle .

You'd have to become a machine gun dealer or manufacturer to get one of those in F/A if you're not military or LEO. If it's new I can only assume that it was not made before 1986 and the only civilian legal machine guns were made before 1986.

It is a really sweet looking weapon though. A semi auto version would be cool...Maybe some day.

Very nice.

As for the FA, you dont need it.....you will just waste ammo. For those with out 1200 you can build you own AR very cheap. 650-750 depening on the options. It is my experence that the home brews are better then the retail.

"It's a waste of Ammo" is the common response from people who are jealos that they dont have a firearm with a group therapy mode. :P

Not exactly what i said.... YOU will waste ammo, if you are trained to shoot FA you are fine in my book. However anyone who has to ask if a modern civilian fire are is FA then.........

Also I would like to add i am all about 3 round burst for small get togethers.
