[QUOTE="JTA, post: 1027408, member: 6189"] I really think you need to get your terminology correct. A submachine gun is a fully automatic weapon chambered to a pistol cartridge. Full auto weapons (which [I]are[/I] legal) will require a lot more paper work, waiting, and money. An "assault rifle" is also by definition a fully automatic weapon only it is chambered in a true rifle round. What you are looking for is most likely a carbine (semi-automatic rifle chambered to a pistol round). The following are a few recommendations: 1. The Ruger PC carbine (in either 9 mm or .40 S&W) - no longer produced, but you may still be able to find them. They use ruger P-series handgun magazines, and were generally well regarded. Price estimate $400-$500. 2. The Marlin Camp carbine (in either 9 mm or .45 ACP) - no longer produced. They use S&W 5900 series magazines. Not sure on the price. 3. Beretta CX4 Storm (in 9 mm, .40 S&W, or .45 ACP) - still produced. They look very futuristic, but are very ergonomic and shoot well. They use Beretta 92 or Cougar magazines. Price estimate $650-$700. Any of these options would be a good place to begin your search, and should be well within your projected budget (even including the ammo and accessories). [/QUOTE]
