In the US- you must be 21, reside in a state where State law permits private ownership of a machinegun, and be legally able to purchase a firearm. Next, find a Class III dealer in your home state- transfer of the gun to you will be through that dealer. The dealer should help guide you through the process of applying to the BATFE for a transfer of the gun to you. Send that paperwork, copy of your fingerprints, approval from your local Chief Law Enforcement Officer, and payment of the $200 tax to the BATFE. When approved, the dealer will notify you, and you can take possession of the gun- AFTER you pay for it. That is likely to be the hard part. A LEGAL, transferable M16 rifle is between $12,000 and $16,000.

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.

Brownells.com sells a m-16 full auto and burst fire sear and disconnector isn't that illegal?

Anyone can buy the M16 small parts - but it is illegal to use them to create a fully automatic weapon without the correct NFA paperwork. Adding these parts to a semi-automatic AR15 will not make it fully automatic, and some parts will not fit the semi-automatic lower receiver at all.

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.
