HMMMM. A fully automatic Class 3 submachinegun should net you 10 years in 
federal prison (if it's a first offense). Though it appears it isn't 
concealed, it IS illegal in almost every state to drive with *any* loaded 
weapon in your car.

In Los Angeles, this sort of thing is all too real. I did have a pair of 
Estes rockets with a shift mount trigger (my Dad worked at Hughes 
Aircraft, and brought home a "defective" joy stick--two switches didn't 
work, but the fire trigger did). Scared the crap out of RVs on mountain 
roads, but I couldn't get an explosive payload that wasn't too heavy :(

The "launchers" were 20 1 1/2 diameter pipes mounted in the fog light 
bays of my Opel Ralleye. (Now *there's* an example of fine "German 
engineering"--replaced nearly every Bosch electrical part, and then bought 
another Opel--this time a GT.)

I DID have to put out a brush fire I accidentally started once.
