Anyone get this reaction to AR's?

[Kilroy]

When I took my AR to show some family members, I was consistently asked if I was going to convert it to full auto. "You know, they sell the parts at the gun show. *wink*" Does anyone else get this kind of reaction when they show off their AR or other "tactical" rifle? Are people really doing this often enough that people who don't own ARs to know about it?

People like to speak out of ignorance where guns are related because they think it is cool and assume everyone else is just as ignorant.

WOrking behind the gun counter I heard it alot. ALOT.

Many claimed that filing down the firing pin would cause full auto fire. And knew M16's inside and out. More than me to be specific.

When I asked them about the RR/DIAS/LL they would look at me like this....

No, but they do sell those parts at the gun shows here. They cost a bundle, too.

Why go though all that bother; when you can order it off the internet, and have it delivered to your door?

I've never had that reaction even in my line of work. I just enjoy shooting as a hobby I've never been the one to spray and pray

IF THEY ARE SO CONCERN ABOUT YOUR AR-15 BEING FULLY, TELL THEM TO PAY FOR IT!!!

 

[Zombie_013]

I don't have the cash to fire anything fully auto

You mean it won't? Next, you're going to say turning my pistol sideways isn't the "kill shot".

You can't whip the muzzle and have the bullet curve around a corner if you hold it sideways

I had family in Ohio ask if I'd go fully. Instead of paying for the stamp, paying out the nose and waiting for 6 months, I just bump-fired. Good enough.

EDIT: That reminds me. I was showing my AK to a friend of a friend who was into guns. He offered me a full auto conversion. I said "No thanks." And laughed inside.

years and years back when my friend and i played airsoft (sad, i know...but it was fun sneaking around the neighborhood at 1-2 AM playing night ops....anyway...) we walked outside one day to go do some plinking out in the woods, he had a G36C and i had a P90...well there was a bunch of kids playing outside...they saw him, one yelled "HES GOT A AK!!!!" and they all scattered like roaches in the kitchen when the lights turned on...we just stood there looking at one another, dumbfounded...yes, orange tips were installed...well, not on the P90 actually, i had the "suppressor" on...


edit: side note, we were just about the only white people who lived in the neighborhood...if that speaks to anything.

Sounds like when I lived in Va and would go to the range, all the neighbor kids would see case after case come out and just get wide-eyed...priceless.

What's an RR? I know DIAS (drop in auto sear) and LL (lightning link). Does it mean registered receiver?

True story. Got to talking to some guys who work at a local shop had a customer bring his AR15 back to them claiming it was broke it would only fire one at a time.
