 rec.guns FAQ: I.E. Terminology and Acronyms
Automatic firearms, also known as machineguns, also known as "fully" automatic, begin firing when their trigger is pulled, load another round, fire that one, load another, etc. and stop when the trigger is released or the supply of ammunition is exhausted.
Semi-Automatic firearms fire one shot when their trigger is pulled and immediately _prepare_ another round to be fired.
Firearms chambered for a given cartridge must be able to withstand the pressure that that cartridge produces.

 Hellfire trigger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Hellfire trigger is a device that allows an operator of a semi-automatic firearm equipped with it to fire at very high rates, close to those of fully automatic firearms.
The Hellfire trigger was deemed legal by United States' Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, and does not require a special permit.
The operating principle is simple – when the trigger is pressed, the Hellfire device disengages the trigger return spring, which is strong enough to move the operator's trigger finger.

Those who are familiar with firearms have understood this historically, but to the uninformed public, there is little comprehension when they see “auto-pistol,” for instance, in a news article.
The California “Assault-Weapons” Bill was an example of banning by specifying specific firearms as being “assault weapons,” but the law was recently invalidated by the courts, as the statute was determined to be unconstitutionally vague.
This type of firearm will fire once for each pull of the trigger, but the trigger must be pulled for each shot.

(b) SEMIAUTOMATIC FIREARM- In subsection (a), `semiautomatic firearm' means any repeating firearm that utilizes a portion of the energy of a firing cartridge to extract the fired cartridge case and chamber the next round and that requires a separate pull of the trigger to fire each cartridge.
No firearm exempted by this subsection may be deleted from Appendix A so long as this subsection is in effect.
The fact that a firearm is not listed in Appendix A shall not be construed to mean that paragraph (1) applies to such firearm.

The lower receiver housing however, since it is the portion of the rifle that bears the manufacturers name and serial number, is considered, in and of itself, to be a firearm and is subject to all Federal firearms regulations.
As these receivers have not been 100% finished, they are viewed by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) as being "non-guns", and as such, are not subject to any Federal regulations pertaining to firearms.
These are the "Upper" (which consists of the upper receiver, barrel assembly, bolt and bolt carrier) and the "Lower" (which consists of the lower receiver housing, that contains the trigger, hammer, and fire control parts, and the butt stock assembly).

 AR15.COM :: Information
Safeguarding NFA firearms is not required, but seems to me to be extremely prudent, both to preserve the firearm, as well as its continued legal ownership.
A machine gun is any gun that can fire more than one shot with a single pull of the trigger, or a receiver of a machine gun, or a combination of parts for assembling a machine gun, or a part or set of parts for converting a gun into a machine gun.
Torch cutting the receiver into 4 or more parts may be acceptable; you would have to contact ATF to find out the current standard for "de-mill"ing (short for demilitarize) a receiver; a de-milled receiver is not a firearm, it is scrap metal.

 HKPRO: The Mechanics of H&K NFA Conversions
The registering of the semi-auto configured receiver as the ‘machine gun’ was just the most commonly accepted sequence, after which one went to work on the semi-auto trigger group parts to affect the needed mechanical changes to render automatic fire.
The other major reason for registered receiver conversions being performed with unregistered conversion parts employed on a NFA registered unaltered semi-auto receiver was due to the simple fact that many of the active Class II manufacturers in the heyday of the conversion craze were less than Journeyman level skilled machinists or Gunsmiths.
So if the receiver itself was registered as the NFA controlled item, but not mechanically converted at the time of conversion to utilize a swing down lower, the mechanical alterations to achieve semi-automatic fire capability must have been done to other components of the weapon in question.

Although he had been an authorised firearms officer for nearly five years, he had never fired a shot in an operation, and he was one of those who had never been trained in rapid intervention.
The problem, however, lies in the 41 targets who turn out to have no firearms, and with the finding of Supt Burrows who studied a sequence of firearms incidents and discovered 56% of shots fired by police missed their target.
Officers had earlier been given a 48-hour authority to use guns to arrest McCrudden in the street; and a further 24-hour authority to arrest him with guns near the car he was thought to have been using.

 Wadcutter: Energy & momentum part II
The human body is hideously complex, and the way in which it converts the kinetic energy of recoil into something else will depend a great deal on the physical characteristics and shooting techniques of the person pulling the trigger.
Likewise, it is almost meaningless to compare the recoil numbers of rifles to pistols, since the physical act of absorbing a rifle’s kick with one’s shoulder is completely different from taming a pistol’s recoil with one’s hands.
Many shooters also like to know the momentum of their projectiles, because they feel that it is a better indicator of how well a bullet will penetrate through highly non-fluidic materials like thick hide and bone.
