All that stuff about making a semi into a fully automatic by filing a
little off the sear, or some other simple change one might make in one's
garage, is nonsense.


No it's not, dumbass. You've just shown that you have no concept of
how an automatic weapon works.


Horvath is right. A fool I knew did indeed convert a semi-auto .22 rifle to
fire full auto by grinding on the sear. Trouble is it would not quit
shooting until it ran out of ammo! Undeterred, he tried a similar trick on
a 9mm pistol. That worked a whole lot better .... for about 20 rounds. Then
it broke its firing pin, requiring him to send it back to the factory for
bolt replacement. No, he was not stupid enough to send an illegally mod'd
gun back to a mfgr who was being closely watched by BATF so the $400 gun
never fired again. So you can make most any semi-auto into a full auto -
they just don't shoot for long. I suspose that's one reason an AR-16 costs
over 2X the price of an AR-15.


You must be wrong, Doug has fired all sorts of weapons and is an expert
mechanical engineer. He's always right. How dare you say he's wrong!
