Even in Arizona fully auto are more than $500 and a lot harder to come by. An intense looking weapon can be manufactured for the consumer market that looks and feels like a fully auto (squeeze trigger, empty clip) but is actually a semi auto (one trigger squeeze, one round).
For instance, this gun
https://www.gunsamerica.com/98390872...New-in-Box.htm looks just like a real AK-47 that is fully auto, but it's not. It's semi. 99.9% of those AR-15 guns you see out there are semi-auto. The price of a fully auto (without taking into account licensing and tax) are likely 10 times as much as the stuff you see at gun shops and gun shows.
