A statement to her agility, she wears sport sneakers

FNCs are rather rare in the US; they sell for around $3000. Full-auto capable sears can be purchased for $3000-$4000 and then installed into a semi-auto FNC, making an FNC one of the cheapest fully automatic 5.56 rifles available in the US (full auto M16s or AKs can cost upwards of $10,000).
