colt1928 Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Does anyone know anything about this? NYPD shot a man while he was firing a so-called " machine gun " in the air. Can't find anything else about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I doubt this actually was a machinegun. Most likely some other "evil black gun". I don't know how many times I (and probably you also) have had to correct people on what and what is not a machinegun. The average person has little knowlege about firearms especially if the guns in question are not a off the rack shotguns etc. Within the past week or so I read a news article which stated "civilians are not allowed to possess machineguns". I honestly believe some people go more by the color of the gun, than anything else, when it comes to determining what kind of gun it is. I'd guess the gun in this article could possible have been a semi-auto AK or SKS also. But a machinegun? I'm betting no, and I sure hope I'm right. Now is not the time for us to be drawing attention to the fact the civilians can own them. There's already talk of raising the transfer fee from $200 to $1000.

clintonlover Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 This is confirmed, suspect wielded a MAC 10, fired at police, they returned fire and he was struck in the head. Cops are both alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 If it was a real M10 SMG, odds are it wasn't registered seeing as how this occured in New York City. I wonder if it was an illegal conversion of an M10 semi-auto open bolt? Norm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintonlover Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 It was a real MAC 10 SMG, and It cannot be registered as NYS has no Class 3/ SBR/NFA status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
