I do not remember seeing, or reading about, automatic weapons used during the LA Riots. I do believe the press called semi-automatic weapons by the name automatics.

I do not know if they did this through malice, ignorance or for sensationalism. I don't think you'll find very many stories of fully automatic weapons being used. My thinking is based on the reasoning that not many people have them and the ones who do have them usually have a semi-automatic to protect them.

While in the military, when we traveled with M-16 rifles, someone was always designated to carry a sidearm to "protect" the rifles in case there was an attempt to steal them.

Good luck on the podcast.
