That are in production, exportable, and good?

I'd heard about something made in Brisbane over there by "Metal Storm", that sounded more like a machine gun handgun. I guess they were full automatic(which I can't buy...or even want)

Are there any current good semi-autos being made there that can be exported to the US?

  They are not allowed to own handguns anymore. No semi-auto or pump guns of any kind. They still own shotguns, single shot, and hunting rifles, bolt action and lever action. I think thats it.
  
  So I doubt that the make much for private export except for military sales.

  Metal Storm is a prototype system for armed forces use. Everything from pistols to big stuff. The system is not semi-auto, or full-auto in the traditional sense.
  
  It can fire a million rounds per minute. That is correct - a MILLION rounds per minute. That would make your old speed loader groan.
  
  There is almost zero industry in either Australia or New Zealand capable of supporting sophisticated, large scale manufacturing.

  Australia, I dont think they make anything down there do they? The digeridoo, and great roo guards for the cars they import, but you dont see many tags that say "made in Australia"......Oh yea, Beer.
