I have seen nothing on turning a semi-auto BAR into a fully automatic one. Joel Send a noteboard - 22/12/2012 01:11:12 AM
As I try to explain to people from time to time, a semi-automatic is an improvement on a fully automatic weapon. Semi = better than = Full Auto

Not that I had looked until about an hour ago, but what I have found so far says it is impossible. Not saying you are wrong; you know the specs far better than I, but there seems to be a world of difference between military-to-civilian conversions and exclusively, originally, civilian designs. Be careful, now; I am sure the last thing you want to do is lend credence to the anti-gun lobbys claims ALL semi-automatics can be made fully automatic after a couple minutes filing down the firing pin. ;)

When guns are a big national issue, how do reporters & pundits not know facts about them? - 21/12/2012 05:33:14 PM 1653 Views
You don't hunt by walking into a classroom and shooting 20 deer - 21/12/2012 05:56:16 PM 1074 Views
You're actually not right on that one - 21/12/2012 07:49:53 PM 1012 Views
That wasn't the point I was making - 21/12/2012 09:49:40 PM 941 Views
You should probably clarify it then - 21/12/2012 10:47:26 PM 1101 Views
His post was perfectly clear. Yours seemed like a response to an entirely different post. - 21/12/2012 10:53:39 PM 1267 Views
Explain that remark, it is not obvious to me *NM* - 21/12/2012 11:00:10 PM 565 Views
I think - 21/12/2012 11:13:34 PM 936 Views
Thats' easy, there is simply no such thing as a 'hunting rifle' - 21/12/2012 11:17:41 PM 949 Views
I'd say the expert gunsmith - 21/12/2012 11:28:02 PM 1001 Views
I thought I was being perfectly clear. - 21/12/2012 10:57:35 PM 961 Views

Oh I wasn't commenting on the standard of people here - 21/12/2012 11:29:36 PM 942 Views
you're largely correct, which is why we need stronger laws on ownership not guns per se - 21/12/2012 09:39:14 PM 921 Views
I can't think of a better reason than self defense - 21/12/2012 10:33:26 PM 986 Views
He is right about Australia - 21/12/2012 10:46:27 PM 948 Views
No kidding - 21/12/2012 10:59:28 PM 948 Views
If you knew all that - 21/12/2012 11:02:38 PM 992 Views
I think you are on the right track, but to the wrong destination; "lethal weapon" is redundant. - 21/12/2012 11:05:29 PM 940 Views
My read is that the 2nd Amendment not only allows, but mandates, cop-killer bullets. - 22/12/2012 12:45:04 AM 995 Views
Does the Second Amendment protect the rights of felons and the mentally incompetent to have guns? - 22/12/2012 02:35:16 AM 1168 Views
Some semi-autos are easily modified for full auto fire, making the distinction one w/o a difference. - 21/12/2012 10:53:59 PM 1028 Views
Correction: virtually all semi-automatics are easily convertable - 21/12/2012 11:23:35 PM 966 Views
How many of the people I was complaining about would know that? - 22/12/2012 12:48:59 AM 947 Views
Some, possibly? I am ever the optimist - 22/12/2012 12:58:36 AM 919 Views

What's a BAR? In any event, link a diagram and I'll let you know - 22/12/2012 01:26:31 AM 876 Views
Confusingly, there are two: The BAR you and I think of, and the "Browning BAR," a current semi-auto - 22/12/2012 01:07:30 PM 1023 Views
Department of Redundancy Department gets to name a lot of stuff, like "Milky Way Galaxy" - 22/12/2012 05:01:45 PM 1152 Views
It only bothers me when people who know better speak of "the Glieseian solar system." - 26/12/2012 05:33:34 PM 1041 Views
Both terms are pretty stuck now - 26/12/2012 10:48:38 PM 1104 Views
You realize that encourages rather than discourages my opposition to the usage, right? - 27/12/2012 01:23:15 AM 863 Views
Well I can't say it surprises - 27/12/2012 04:29:06 AM 842 Views

Yes the media is using terms incorrectly but the point still stands. - 22/12/2012 03:02:18 AM 877 Views

Laws against murder failed to prevent that, too; clearly they are ineffective and should be repealed - 22/12/2012 06:02:24 AM 1072 Views
Such laws were never intended for prevention, they define actions that will be punished. *NM* - 23/12/2012 12:57:57 PM 601 Views
So do laws against getting a gun without screening, training and certification. - 23/12/2012 02:01:32 PM 890 Views
Then CHANGE the Constitution, don't ignore it. *NM* - 26/12/2012 03:12:11 PM 518 Views
I am not suggesting either changing or ignoring the Constitution. - 26/12/2012 04:01:02 PM 1005 Views
Yes you are. - 26/12/2012 08:06:01 PM 827 Views
Learn logic, and stop needlessly trying to teach me grammar. - 26/12/2012 08:55:25 PM 975 Views
Lear to read, and I won't have to - 27/12/2012 04:28:59 PM 1016 Views
You are wrong. - 22/12/2012 12:14:40 PM 972 Views
That explains much; I read somewhere Brits are averse to it. - 22/12/2012 01:17:15 PM 913 Views
We're also averse to being wrong. - 22/12/2012 02:53:49 PM 972 Views
So you say... - 22/12/2012 03:32:16 PM 897 Views

What bemuses me about this thing with Adam Lanza, is that his mother had 5 registered guns - 23/12/2012 07:10:26 AM 969 Views
She was asleep with him in the house. - 23/12/2012 02:24:47 PM 985 Views
LOOK, look, there is another one... - 26/12/2012 03:13:45 PM 903 Views
I find the absolutist ant/pro-gun positions equally dangerous and absurd. - 26/12/2012 04:20:37 PM 905 Views
So we should just *kinda* ignore the Constitution *this* time... But what about NEXT time... - 26/12/2012 08:08:12 PM 878 Views
No, we should enact gun regulation the Constitution explicitly empowers. - 26/12/2012 09:02:12 PM 881 Views
Which would be... NONE. *NM* - 27/12/2012 04:31:53 PM 561 Views

The instant it becomes relevant, I shall. - 28/12/2012 11:45:01 PM 1081 Views
Your point being? - 27/12/2012 10:47:29 AM 870 Views
Facts are irrelevant when FUD is the order of the day. - 24/12/2012 04:34:18 PM 875 Views
It irritates me too. *NM* - 01/01/2013 01:55:05 PM 547 Views
