Now being in possession of a class 3 weapon without the proper liscense is a big no no. Punishable by upwards of 10yrs in federal prison. In some cases even higher. Or you can join the military and play with full auto stuff all day.
To answer the question of why own a full auto anything. Its not always about one shot one kill scenarios. The best way to advance on an enemy position is with fire superiority. If the enemy cant pick his head up long enough to see where your at or to shoot at you it makes it hella easier to sneak up on him and shoot him yourself. Thats why the SAW or squad automatic weapon aka M249 is the most casualty producing weapon on the battlefield. There is nothing like 6-700rpm of 5.56 ammo to pin down the heads of a bad guy. The most experienced member of any fire team besides the team leader is and should always be your saw gunner. You can setup a support by fire position with your saw gunner. Suppress the enemy, pick up the rest of your entire team minus an AG if you have one, and literally flank an enemy without them even knowing. People tend to get mad scared when you unleash the saw on em. Hell you should hear the pig (M240 - 7.62 machine gun) they poop themselves. You dont even have to unleash the ma deuce (m2-50 cal machine gun) sometimes i get a little seapage in the pants when i play with her. she scares me!
