Depends. The original military AK47 is capable of fully automatic fire. In the US, Federal law requires it be registered as a machine gun. However, most AK47s sold in the US are semiautomatic. MOST states do not require registation of rifles.

What is the firearms blue book value for a 1989 Russian wood stock AK47?

The true AK-47, made in 1989, is a selective fire weapon (capable of fully automatic fire), and would be of no value to a private citizen in the US. Only those fully automatic arms registered with the BATFE by May of 1986 CAN be registered. After that date, no more can be transferred to a private citizen. Did you mean another variant of the AK-47?


Why is the Glock 18 illegal?

Because its fully automatic, and was not importable pre 1986 (when the assault weapons ban was introduced). Only fully automatic weapons produced pre 1986 and were already legally owned in the US are now legal in the US. Although it IS legal for Police Departments to own Glock 18's, if they have been trained by Glock. It is also legal to own (in certain states, with strict stipulations), a Glock 17 (or any other model besides the 18) with a fully automatic sear. Which is essentially a Glock 18. **I Am NOT A Lawyer***

What is the difference between a full automatic weapon and a semi-automatic weapon and which one is legal in the US?

A fully automatic weapon means you can hold down the trigger and it will continuously fire. Semiautomatic means you fire one round for each pull of the trigger. A selective fire weapon is capable of fully automatic fire, and lets you select between the two. To own a fully automatic weapon in the US, you need a Class III National Firearms Act tax stamp for the firearm. The importation of fully automatic weapons for civilian sales was barred in 1968, and the domestic manufacture of fully automatic weapons for civilian sales was barred in 1986 - however, weapons of either type manufactured before the effective date of their import/manufacture can still legal be transferred between licenced civilian owners.

Can you buy an automatic handgun in the US?

In order to purchase a fully automatic weapon in the US, it must have been manufactured and NFA registered prior to the passage of the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986. Any fully automatic weapons manufactured after that date may only be transported to you if you are an FFL dealer with the appropriate Special Occupational Tax stamp, and a law enforcement letterhead authorising the transfer to you. However, most "automatic" handguns are actually semi-automatic, not fully automatic. Those are legal, and in the US, regulated as ordinary firearms.


Can you get automatic guns?

Depends on what you mean by automatic guns, and the law where you live. You did not tell us where that is, so there is no way we can answer.
