A semi-auto MP5 (called HK94) will cost a couple thousand.
Get an AR-15, it's worth it, I have two. I have a 20" A2 HBAR configuration and a 16" M4 configuration. I love them, they're my favorite rifles. I built both for under $700.
I second the AR. Have two uppers, a 16" M4gery A4 free-floated, and a 20" stainless steel varmint bull barrel A4, free-floated as well, both by DoubleStar/JT Distributing. 425 for the bull barrel, 385 for the standard.
Lower is a Rock River Arms, bought it complete for 250.
MUCH cheaper/easier to find ammunition, too, and most surplus ammunition in .223 is pretty decent...it's not old enough (normally) to be **** ammo.

If you are suggesting "Special Weapons" MP5s... they're sh!t.
I meant a bobcat, vector, or a "worked over" SW, and no I didn't mean that they are cooler than a FA, but cooler than a p-90. Bobcat, if they are still making them, builds a pretty good copy. You could always pay the SBR tax and it would look identical.
As far as buying a real full auto MP-5 plan to spend $12,000 to 16,000. And make sure you get a "sear" gun, as they are more sought after and allow the sear to be switched between guns.
I've kinda lost track ... but full-auto, entry level Class 3 weapons (i.e., a Ruger GB - OK, or an Ingram -- crap) will run @ $3,500-$6,000. And then ... there's the paperwork and transfer fees -- read taxes from a cynical government. And then you have to live in the "right" state, jurisdiction, etc., etc. ...Fly Navy said:
Last time I checked on 1928 Thompsons and the like --- they are WELL over $17,000 and climbing.
Other examples:
Colt M16: $20,000
IMI Uzi: $8,000
Inland M2's: $7,000
MP-40: $20,000
M240B: $175,000
BAR: $22,500 (on sale!!!)
These are the ubiquitous "automatic" and "machine guns" that the media loathes and fears. These are the guns that get the "bad press". These are the ones the the gun-grabbers REALLY want to make extinct, in addition to most others held in private hands.
They are not exactly the Saturday night "special" you've heard about or something the local druggie will use to hold up the 7-11, yes???
There's a UN confab starting this month, I believe. It's designed to ban "small arms". World-wide, but especially ... in the US.
Gotta love it ... keep your powder dry ...

July 4th to be exact. I take that as a personal insult.

Wanna hear something that will make you cry? A friend of my fathers that is a retired Army Colonel went to an estate tag sale about 7-8 years ago and found both a Thompson and an M-16. In both of their boxes(!) was their NFA paperwork. He asked the deceased's daughter what she wanted for them and she said $1500. He did what many people would not and politely said, "Mam, these guns are worth quite a bit more" and she said that she didn't like guns and just wanted to get rid of them for $1500. He paid the woman the money and told her about the paperwork that would be involved. In about 6 months he had both guns in his possesion. The guns were specifically mentioned in the man's will, which is important because if they are not in your will they go to the ATF for disposal. Coincidentally the Thompson had 2 new original drum magazines with it, that the colonel later sold for some ungodly amount. He does not have the Thompson anymore, but keeps a collection of 27 registered NFA guns.

"According to eyewitness accounts, the alleged perpetrators were believed to be carrying what appeared to be a Browning M-2 Heavy Machine Gun (with one suspect carrying the ammunition box). Fortunately, due to the weight of the weapon, they were unable to make off with anything. Police are still reviewing the convenience store's surveillance camera videotape."
