Mostly collectors. I believe there is a gun range in Orlando that has automatic Weapons you can rent for their range and I believe they also have instructions on using them. Some people just want to see how they work and what its like to shoot a fully automatic weapon. I had enough of that in the service. I may be wrong but I believe the license fee is $250 for the permit and the ATF and FBI will know you on a personal basis. But the cost of the automatic weapon itself is the price of a very nice new Automobile. Then there is the cost of ammunition. Someone who had thoughts of doing something illegal would not go through the normal channels as these weapons are pretty well followed by ATF.
