All you have to do is go browse gunbroker and you can see the cost difference in a FA that was preban, and a postban FA that only law enforcement or a dealer demo can own. If memory serves me, I've seen M16's for LE use only,cost under 2k while an M16 FA preban was 14k.

I do like tha fact FA's are too expensive for the average person to go buy, but I would like to see the cost be half of what it is. I could swing buying an Uzi for $3,500, but no way can I swing it for 7K
