82. My friend

It is evident that you don't understand what you are talking about.

Automatic weapons = full auto = machine guns. With one pull of the trigger they keep shooting until the magazine is empty. Those things in Walmart you can't buy.
Like previously mentioned, they are very expensive, and there are very few of them.

Semi-automatic weapons on the other hand require pilling the trigger for every shot.

There is a very big difference that you seem to miss entirely.

Have a nice day.

You can buy automatic weapons of the semi automatic variety. eom	boppers	Feb 2012	#74

You're talking about machine guns.	boppers	Feb 2012	#62
Using the term "automatic" to describe a semi-automatic rifle is a cheap propaganda ploy	slackmaster	Feb 2012	#69

Actually it makes a world of difference if you're talking about where the weapons came from.	Kurska	Feb 2012	#51
It does when the narcos here are using full auto, grenades and rockrt launchers.nt	expatriate2mex	Feb 2012	#54
I beg your pardon but there is a huge distinction between semi-auto and full auto.	Lasher	Feb 2012	#55
I beg yours. You can kill plenty of innocent folks with semi-auto.	Hoyt	Feb 2012	#57
And you can kill plenty of innocent folks with a car. Is a car a machine gun?	Lasher	Feb 2012	#60
