Corrected entry: No way Kersey leaves the gun shop same day with a full auto AR-15. It would take boatloads of paperwork, waiting, and registration with the federal government. He could have bought a conventional semi-auto AR-15 much more easily.

Correction: There is no such thing as a full auto AR-15 unless someone has changed the firing mechanism in the lower receiver. You can not buy a full auto AR-15.

Kersey didn't even know how to shoot a pistol and had to practice with the throw down gun. The gun shop sold him the AR-15 capable of full auto. He would not know how to convert it.

You don't need to know how to shoot to do a full-auto conversion. There are kits available with instructions online. A bump stock could also be easily added to the firearm to make it functionally full-auto even if it technically is not.

Bumpstocks are a terrible gimmick that make firing and aiming properly very difficult. They are nothing more than a toy.

The gun store couldn't sell him a full auto AR because they don't exist, as the OP stated. There are military versions, like the M4 carbine which can be had as NFA items, but not in Chicago.

Other mistake: When he arrives at the club he texts "I'm here" and receives the reply "bathroom" but the texts are on the wrong side of the screen. It looks as if he replied "bathroom". (01:20:10)

Trivia: At the very end Paul points at a guy on the street with his finger as a gun just like Charles Bronson did in the 1974 version.
