You probably shouldn't try it, because you won't get a full auto, but it probably will take your eye when you next pull the trigger. Holy shit.........

Yeah, people make alot of mods to their firearms that are nothing if not terrible ideas. A leading cause of "it just went off" -for example, is reducing the pull on the trigger in the hopes that it's a shortcut to accuracy.
OFC, the moment a person talks about how they reduced the pull on their trigger I know -exactly- why they felt the need in the first place. Squeeze...don't pull, Cletus. The pounds of pressure required to pop one off is the -last- thing affecting your shitty shooting.
(Gawd is probably referring to a slide fire kit - the AR version of the 'ole "cowboy slapping his hammer" routine...which is a bit more involved than drilling a hole - not that some gun nuts haven;t fallen for that one either, here again we see that plenty of people on both sides of this issue...shooters and non-shooters alike, have swallowed a hefty amount of koolaid.)

The hole was internal, according to the guy who converted his. He's still alive and has both eyes.

There are several parts that make it full auto like a M16. The idiot probably made the hammer follow the bolt carrier. This is very unsafe.

One wonders how long that hole will remain internal....provided that he isn't bullshitting...which he probably is. The difference between a semi and a full auto is not the presence of a damned hole. Similar claims are floated, all bulllshit.
"I removed one little pin, voila, full auto"
"I modified the bolt assembly, voila full auto"
"I strengthened the spring and removed the choke, voila full auto"
No, no, and no. To turn a semi auto into a full auto requires a full conversion of significant portions of the barrel, the bolt, the receiver, the trigger housing, the trigger assembly...the list goes on.

It was full auto when he fired it for me. He never lost anything important, so I don't think he was in that much danger.

Uh-huh......because fuck sound engineering and well understood mechanics, you have a "point" to make. 
Ever occur to you that your buddy might not have been completely honest with you? If he's firing a full auto AR..he either purchased it that way, or had a full conversion installed - and it's probably illegal... everywhere. It's shit like that that's going to ruin this thing for the rest of us.
