Technically, a coathanger is a machine gun if you modify it to a certain configuration.

    I appreciate someone that at least knows where I was going. And it's not a machine gun, you'll sure as fuck get prosecuted like it is, tho.

    Legally speaking, it is a machine gun, but yes I do share your sentiment that it is not one.

    You won't get prosecuted for it though as long as you don't possess a weapon that it can fit in.
