The ones I saw people mention were for full-auto, unless I perhaps misread. Full auto would be kind of neat, but for some reason the 3-round burst strikes me as even neater.

I'm a WWII buff.
First choices if NFA goes under are:
BAR
M2 Carbine
Thompson Sub-Machine Gun
Yes, I know I can get them now. However, as I am starting out in life, I cannot AFFORD them now. NFA falling would mean I could buy new replicas at MUCH lower prices...

Not sure I'd even go with a full auto, but I'd pick up a few suppressors and do an SBS or two. I know I could do that now with the proper forms but honestly it's just too much of a PITA and 200.00 extra per item just ain't worth it to me. Take that burden away though and I'm game.
Only F/A I would consider would be either an M4 variant or an MP5.

I'd get an MP5K, but I'd love to have a belt-fed .22 rimfire full auto rifle in one of the Browning machine gun configurations.

full auto .22 Calico with silencer
For absolutely NO practical purpose, I'd like to have an M3 Grease Gun to play with. Actually, the M3A1 is prolly the one to have.
It's big, it's heavy, it's clunky, it is unrefined, but I just think it'd be cool to have one to shoot. My father was issued one in Japan, which may account for some of this interest. He said, "It always shot like a piece of ****. But it always, ALWAYS, ALWAYS shot when I told it to".
I'd also like to have one of the folding-stock Armalite AR-18s, and maybe a select-fire M14. A pre WWII Thompson SMG in .38 Super (south American market), or a PPSH in original caliber or 9x23 could be loads of fun. There's also a nice looking SMG made by Walther called the MPK, which I think would be fun to shoot. I think the Portuguese Navy used them. I don't know about anywhere else.
And one FUNNY LOOKING one. I'd like an LMR(Low Maintenance Rifle), as made by TRW. I tried to put up some pics of one, but I'm not doing somthing right.
Did I mention that I'd also need a multi-stage press for each caliber? Or since we're suspending disbelief with the repeal of NFA and GCA-86, can I just simply wish for an inexhaustable supply of ammo?

Categories of Weapons Regulated
The NFA defines a number of categories of weapons which are regulated therein. Collectively, these are known as "Title II" weapons and include the following:
1. Machine guns - this includes any firearm which can fire more than 1 cartridge per trigger pull. Both continuous fully-automatic fire and "burst fire" (ie, weapons with a 3-round burst feature) are considered machine gun features.
2. Short-Barreled Rifles (SBRs) - this category includes any weapon with a buttstock and either a rifled barrel under 16" long or an overall length under 26". The overall length is measured with any folding or collapsing stocks in the extended position. The category also includes weapons which came from the factory with a buttstock that was later removed by a third party.
3. Short-Barreled Shotguns (SBSs) - this category is defined similarly to SBRs, but the length limit for the barrel is 18" instead of 16", and the barrel must be a smoothbore. The overall length limit remains 26".
4. Silencers - this includes any portable device designed to muffle or disguise the report of a portable firearm. It does NOT include non-portable devices, such as sound traps used by gunsmiths in their shops which are large and usually bolted to the floor.
5. Destructive Devices (DDs) - there are two broad classes of destructive devices. The first contains devices such as grenades, bombs, poison gas weapons, etc. The second contains any non-sporting firearm with a bore over 0.50" (many firearms with bores over 0.50", such as 12-gauge shotguns, are exempted from the law because they have been determined to have a legitimate sporting use).
6. Any Other Weapons (AOWs) - this is a broad "catch-all" category used to regulate any number of weapons which the ATF deems deserving of registration and taxation. Examples include smooth-bore pistols, pen guns and cane guns, short-barreled weapons with both rifled and smooth bores, etc.
“Any Other Weapons” (AOWs) also include disguised firearms, firearms that can be fired from within a wallet holster, or a briefcase. A short-barreled shotgun which came from the factory with a pistol grip is categorized as an AOW rather than a SBS, because the Gun Control Act describes a shotgun as “…designed or redesigned to be fired from the shoulder…” The AOW classification also includes handguns with a forward vertical grip. It is therefore illegal to place an aftermarket foregrip on any pistol without first registering it as an AOW and paying the making tax.

I'm not sure I'd really want anything if NFA goes under. I prefer more accurate single shot firing over full-auto (I learned in BCT that full-auto and burst aren't as much fun as I thought they'd be). I don't want a short barrel shotgun or rifle, and don't really want a suppressor.
A suppressor would probably be my top choice, being able to muffle the dB level of a self defense gun might be nice. A home defense shooting can be loud and it would be nice to not have to worry about hearing loss. However, I live in MD where you do have to think about PC issues- "how would it look when presented to a civil/criminal jury". In MD most people aren't particularly pro-gun, and in some of MD (Baltimore where I live in particular) the district attorneys are notorious for charging people who are in good self-defense shoots.
That said, if I was in the market for an AK or AR type weapon and full-auto/burst and semi-auto versions were close in price (within $100 or so) I would probably go for the extra feature. I also wouldn't mind a full-auto "Tommy gun" since it is more historically correct. Then again, if I did decide I needed a full auto, I'd probably go with a .22 so I could afford to feed it.
