He didn't mention it was a DC charge until challenged on it.

Granted D.C. Doesn't have a FRT ban, it's the same language as the federal statute.

Our lawyer friend crying wolf only posted the first page of the charging doc…

Nobody has made a 3rd burst FRT. While it is theoretically possible, it would be difficult to design and build something reliable. Heck it might be more difficult to make it for an FRT since the FRT is resetting the trigger every time whereas the FA doesn't. You might be better off learning to use the trigger and get consistent short bursts. Even the 3rd FA burst for the M16a2 was pretty bad. Eugene Stoner said that 3rd burst was the worst …
