First, have a lot of money- Legal full autos are very expensive. The last LEGAL full auto M16 I saw for sale (transferable to a private citizen) was $16,000. Next, live in a state that permits private ownership of a full auto- some do not. Then locate a Dealer in your home state that has a license to deal in machine guns- commonly called a Class III license. You will need to apply (through the dealer) to the BATFE to transfer the weapon to yourself. You submit the written application, fingerprints, and approval from your local chief law enforcement officer, along with the $200 tax on transfers of a machine gun. You must meet the other legal requirements to own a firearm- age, criminal history, etc.

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.
Would they extradite for a prohib weap charge in the us?
What exactly do you mean by a PROHIBITED WEAPON? If you are asking if they will extradite state-to-state within the US - it all depends on the magnitude or the classification of the crime. If it is a weapon classified as a prohibited weapon by FEDERAL law (e.g.- automatic weapon - sawed off rifle/shotgun - silencer -etc), yes, absolutely.
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.

Without possessing a Federal Firearms License and corresponding tax stamps (either Class 3 S.O.T. for a dealer or Class 2 S.O.T. for a manufacturer), you need to be approved for a Class III NFA tax stamp for every automatic weapon you purchase.
