No it wasn't a full auto. It is crazy **** like this .50 BMG handgun that causes the antigunners to go into a feeding frenzy. The reasoning behind the illegilization of that 7.63 x 39 was because once there was a handgun available to fire the ammo in, it was cnsidered to be armor peircing handgun ammo. Just like that 50 BMG ammo will be if they make that handgun. Armor peircing rifle ammo hasn't been made illegal, armor peircing handgun ammo is. there for if they creat a handgun that will fire a FMJ rifle round then it becomes illegal.

That is the same battle that the anti's fought over the 5.7 FiveSeven ammo. It is "technically" a small rifle round and when they chambered it in the P-90 which is a pistol the ammo is then considered armor piercing handgun ammo.........
