They have been illegal since 1986, but fortunately pre-86 full autos are still legal and transferable to civilians. Prices have went up considerably, as you might imagine. $20,000 for a pre-86 transferable MP5 or MP5k. Full autos are legal in at least 25 different states. To see if they are legal in your state check here:

I’m not sure if any state allows you to have full auto, but I think all allow semi-auto and some allow burst-fire.
most assault weapons are legal in Las Vegas, Nevada. there’s a gun store there that sells nothing but automatic weapons otherwise illegal in most other states, they also let you test the guns, for a fair price of course. just google "The Gun Store, Las Vegas" and you’ll see for your self
Federal Law heavily restricts ownership of fully automatic weapons. You can buy one, but it will cost you a lot of money.
Legal fully automatic weapons start at about $10,000. If you don’t have that to spend, then find a different hobby.
Federal law pretty much bans these weapons under the NFA.
In the US, possession of a fully automatic firearm IS legal in most states. The firearm must have been registered with the BATFE by May 1986- no additional full autos may be transferred to a private citizen. Transfer is handled through a licensed machine gun dealer in your home state, and requires fingerprinting, approval from your Chief Law Enforcment Officer, a background check by the BATFE, and payment of a one time $200 transfer tax. “Burst fire” is still classed as a machine gun. A LEGAL, TRANSFERRABLE full auto will cost several thousand dollars, due to the finite supply of them. An M16 rifle is currently selling for around $15,000-$16,000. Some states have more restrictive laws that do not permit possession.
