Semi-automatic guns are legal in all of the US. FULLY automatic guns, also known as machine guns, are legal in MOST of the US- some states do not permit private ownership of them. Federal Laws place very strict requirements on registration and possession of them. Those include fingerprinting of the person, approval of local chief law enforcement officer, and a background investigation, along with paying a $200 transfer tax. This has been required since 1934. There have been no crimes committed by a private citizen with a LEGAL machine gun in the US since 1934. The price of a legal machine gun may give you pause- an M16 rifle is about $16,000.
Legal depends on the law where YOU live. We get questions from all 50 states, and several other countries- and you did not say where you live. In the US, semi-automatic firearms are legal in all 50 states. Fully automatic guns, such as machineguns, ARE legal in most of the US. They must be registered with a Federal Agency (the BATFE) and a tax paid on the transfer of the gun (after a background check is completed). Due to their scarcity, they are VERY expensive- a LEGAL M-16 rifle that can be transferred to a private citizen is about $12,000.
No, it is not illegal to own a fully automatic weapon as long as it was made before May 19, 1986. That was the date that the federal government put a "freeze" on the number of automatic weapons available for civilian purchase. It also must be registered with the ATF, and a one time, $200 registration fee must be paid. I would also check the laws in your specific state/area of residence because there are areas that have bans on fully auto weapons.
A fully automatice weapon - yes. You may only own one after applying for and receiving a special permit from BATF.
They have been strictly regulated in the US since 1934, but they are not banned. Some states do have restrictions.
Laws on weapons possession vary greatly throughout the world. We would need to know which jurisdiction you had in mind before this question could be answered.
It depends. I know in Tennessee it is illegal to hunt with a fully automatic gun.

Yes, it is electric with the ability to shoot in ramping or "automatic".
Idaho does not prohibit possession of either a semi-automatic rifle, nor a fully automatic rifle (machine gun) Fully automatic firearms are regulated under Federal law in ALL states. Possession of a fully automatic firearm is legal in Idaho so long as the gun has been registered with the Federal BATFE.
You will need to consult the BATFE web site. <><><><> With the exception of a few businesses that have a special license to do so, what you are asking is how to accomplish a VERY illegal action. An unlicensed fully automatic weapon carries a penalty of 10 yrs in a Federal Prison with no parole, and a fine of up to $250,000. Wikianswers does not give advice on how to commit illegal acts.
The most expensive.
There is no such weapon.

No, it is NOT illegal to own a fully automatic weapon (and/or silencer) in Georgia. There are, however, additional hoops to jump through such as completing extra Class III paperwork and paying a federal tax stamp. Instead of taking dubious advice from Internet commandos, stop in and talk to a reputable Class III dealer (such as Autrey's Armory of Fayetteville, GA) for yourself.
The M3A1 Grease Gun was a .45ACP, Blowback operated, full automatic submachinegun with 30 rd clips.
