Does $12K sound like a great price for an original MP44?
Obviously only available to collectors, or maybe a CatD shooter

....sub guns do exist legally how ever most iv seen are deactivated, operational ones im not so sure.

The video was shot at an auction last year with the prices the beauties went for. Admittedly, in the US if you can own them you can probably shoot them, so price may vary.

im not sure where ud even find one in au for sale....
seen thompson smg sell very fast here for 20k... once again only dealers can really own them.
as far as usage goes...
have to imagine local blokes manufacturing cat d stuff have to be able to do R&D legally somewhere, id imagine the same applies.
and honestly if i was a cat d shooter and i was going to drop 5k on an FN fal id want to know it runs correctly.
imo if your after an smg... get a replica..which still needs to be registered in vic i believe... and on a collectors license ? i dunno
