Bandit, I'm not totally positive about the STG44, but some may have been semi-auto, and some were converted from full auto to be legal when brought home. It wasn't all the common, but was the first successful assult weapon, even predating the AK-47, and shot a similar caliber to the 7.62x39 AK round. The full auto ban has been on the books since 1938, and passed to try and keep the Thompson submachine gun out of the hands of the mobs. Was the same law that banned silencers, hand grenades and explosive devices....we can see how good a job that did! Did apprassials for the local ATF office here in VT. They would confisgate a weapon in the field, and would need a current evaluation of it before it was destroyed. One day they called and said to meet them at the office, they couldn't bring the firearm to the shop. The night before in a Burlington parking lot, undercover agents had set up a buy, and found a trunk load of Swedish M-79, and Sterling 9mm submachine guns.....boy wish I could have shot those before they met the crusher......Gary
