I'm no gun expert, but I think in some states they are legal. As for which ones, you'll have to check. It's just you'll have to jump through a lot of hoops if you want to get an automatic weapon into the country, so always try to buy in the US. Fully automatic guns are legal in MOST states. To purchase one legally, you have to go through a class 3 dealer, fill out a bunch of paperwork, pay a $200 tax, and wait for an approval from the BATF. It normally takes several months, and most fully automatic guns are pretty expensive.

Are M16 machine guns?

In a way the M16 is a machine gun, but it can also do three round burst and semi automatic. civilians are not allowed to have automatic m16s unless you have an automatic weapons permit, but you can have a semi automatic M16. (an AR-15 is almost like an M16 and much cheaper if you're looking to buy one.)

Are automatic guns illegal in America?

There are semiautomatic guns (pull of trigger fires one shot) and fully automatic guns (pulling trigger ONCE fires more than one shot) Semiautomatic guns are legal in almost every place in the US. Fully automatic guns are restricted in a few states, but can be owned in others IF the gun is registered with the Federal BATFE, and a one time $200 tax paid on the transfer of ownership. LEGAL fully automatic guns are VERY expensive, with cost starting at about $2,000, and quickly going up. Guns such as an original Thompson submachinegun may sell for $20,000 or more.
