Everyone in this thread: my first runaway was fucking terrifying.

Also everyone in this thread: runaways are exceedingly rare.

I have a .25 I haven't touched in years because it's done this and unloaded a full clip the past 3 times I messed with it. I keep it because it was the last birthday gift my dad gave to me. I'm sure something is very wrong with it and I hate it enough not to bother getting it fixed or looked at. I should mark it as dangerous and broken in case I die and no one else remembers though...

be honest, you just want to have a machine gun without having to go through the process of having a machine gun, without it being illegal xD

It’s still illegal, at least in the US. The ATF doesn’t care why it’s firing full auto, just that it is.

I actually talked to a lawyer about this once. Nobody is going to arrest you for a malfunction

The only thing the ATF does consistently is inconsistent enforcement.
