[Fr. Frank]

That's pretty cool Fr. Frank. does that 3 shot burst qualify as legal in the States ?

Legal if you paid the tax and were approved to own it. No to own as a regular firearm.

A Fully automatic Weapon (Title II, Class 3) is defined as any weapon capable of firing more than one round for each time the triggering mechanism is pressed, pulled, or activated. 3 shot bursts are full-auto. To own a Title II (fully automatic) firearm, you must buy the weapon from a Class III S.O.T. permitted (Special Occupational Taxpayer) licensed gun dealer, PLUS pay a $200 transfer fee for each Type II firearm you purchase.

Oh yeah, you gotta fill out tons of paperwork, be approved by the chief law enforcement officer in your area (like the sheriff or police chief), and then wait 8-12 weeks to be approved by the BATF. Then you can go pick up your new full-auto weapon.

Average cost of a full auto weapon sold legally is just under $4000, BTW.

To convert an existing weapon to full auto requires a gun manufacturer's FFL, (existing FFL, $200 application, and then $30 year) and a stamp-tax of $200 must be paid for each weapon converted.
