It would still be a sports car imo. Just with a lawn-mower engine in it.
An AR-15 is an assault rifle, it's just missing the lever. When you switch an M16 to semi-auto, does it cease to be an assault rifle at that very moment?

No, because it still has the capability to be automatic.
No it does not.
That is a HUGE misconception. AR-15s and Ak-47s are not easy at all to convert to fully auto.
And you can make any gun full auto if you want. But you will need to know your shit and have a machine shop.
I think he thought the other guy meant "flip the selector switch from >>>> to >"
not convert it.
Well, I don't have pictures at the moment, and most of the ones I have are a few years old anyway. Since putting on a uniform, I have slowly decreased my amount of "cool guy" weapons. The MAK-90, FAL, and HK91 are long gone, and the AR is still lacking an upper. Call me lazy, but I just didn't "feel" a need to spend hundreds on an upper when I had perfectly good M4s and M14s to play with at work. Now that I am away from small arms (though I did get to fire blanks from a 75mm cannon last weekend at the Red Stick Bowl), I may have to start building up my collection again. Another FAL and Kalashnikov are on the list to eventually buy, and the Bushmaster lower is getting lonely. Besides, I have too many M4 goodies that are sitting around unused and are worth far more than a stripped upper would cost.
Those are some nice weapons, and easily rival most of mine now. The last new gun I bought was that pink rifle. A pink 10/22 may be purchased for the youngest kid. Gives me an excuse to buy a gun and talking about buying a baby girl a rifle is a sure conversation starter.
Once I get back down there and get everything moved I'll be sure to get some pictures of various firearms from my collection. Also, if I ever put other bs on the backburner I'll share my new purchases. I re-upped in 2004 for $7000 and bought my $750 Para. Since last November, I've received over $30k in bonuses and travel pay and bought a $150 rifle. Then again, I also bought a truck and house...
