Military-style Semi-automatic Rifle
Many semi-automatic-only versions (also known as "sporting" or "civilian" versions) of fully automatic assault rifles are available, and their external appearance can be nearly identical to their automatic counterparts. However, modern semi-automatic rifles are designed so that they cannot be easily converted to fully automatic fire. In the U.S., BATF regulations require that semi-automatic rifles be manufactured so that they cannot accept parts or modifications that would allow them to be capable of fully automatic fire.
