A good messy non-NFA means of swiftly turning money into noise.
Go here first, watch the video, then after you are properly inflamed with lust you can go here and get your very own. Pricey, but I think you’ll agree life is really not possible without one.

Scary Manifesto that keeps getting pushed down on the sidebar by filthy capitalism!
They say that Louis XIV had the inscription Ultima Ratio Regum cast into all the cannon of the French Army. It means “The Ultimate Argument of Kings,” and that always struck me as one of the most honest and up-front things any ruler or would-be ruler ever said. “We can dress it up prettier than this, but when it comes down to the unvarnished truth this is what it’s about: You’ll do as I say or I’ll send my goons to kill you.”
I thought about that for a long time. If there’s an ultimate argument, it seems only logical that there must be an ultimate answer. For years I thought the ultimate answer must be the bullets in my rifle, but it never seemed quite right. I’ve got bullets – he’s got frigging Cannon Balls. I mean, if there were three hundred million rifles throwing bullets at him, then maybe. But we all know that’s not going to happen. So if there’s an ultimate answer to his ultimate argument, it sure as hell ain’t bullets.
It finally came to me – and that’s when I abandoned the city and most of my stuff, and gave all that was behind me a good stiff Randian Shrug.
The ultimate answer to kings is not a bullet, but a belly laugh.

Keep your bolt action deer rifle, burn the rest.
John Browning once made a full-auto version of a Model 94. Doesn’t mean it made any sense…
Didn’t Jeff Cooper used to say he hopes his enemies always use full auto?
Heh, legal in California, but with only 10 rounds, why bother.
Yes, Cooper did say something to that effect. The video, however, seems to show pretty accurate results on-target. Granted, this with a bipod and fairly solid position, but still . . .
I guess that was the point of Stoner’s design. The M14 was no good full auto. The M16 directed the recoil impulse straight back (little muzzle rise), while not having much recoil impulse in the first place due to the little bullets and the heavy buffer spring. So it worked a lot better full auto. Whether that was a worthwhile aim is another question…
Yeah, though Cooper’s comment was that the “poodle shooters” were handy for spraying the bush to keep the bad guys’ heads down while you moved, but little else . . . he favoring “real rifles” defined as being at least thirty caliber for actual serious work. This opinion was shared by many in a position to know. A similar discussion took place vis-a-vis 9mm vs .45ACP, of course.
Personally, I do not wish to be “downwind” of any of them.
FWIW, I have a whole slew of .30- and .32 caliber “battle rifles”, but if I were knowingly going into a gunfight I would take an AR. The combination of magazine capacity, minimal recoil, flat trajectory, excellent accuracy, and excellent reliability makes them a bit boring on the range but outstanding combat rifles. IMO.
I confess I was of the kneejerk “no mouseguns, real men only use full-power thirty-cal rifles” school for far longer than was really smart. 50 years of unending combat have proven the AR’s utility, if not anything else good.
