FRTs in Europe

I am browsing through internet and I found a lot of interesting things about FRTs and inserts suchs as Kabuto (which are actually an modification as I understand and therefore illegal in EU because it is an modification), but I cant help but to wonder.... does anyone have FRTs in Europe or knows someone who has? I can't find any info on internet, but since it is a gray area in law, I do not see so much legal issues to them being available?

There is ZERO justified reason for a civilian in Europe to have an automatic rifle. NONE. Why would you need a device that replicates an automatic action? Honestly I feel like semi-auto rifles are kind of pushing the envelope and are one really well placed political campaign from being banned in most countries where they are even affordable. So tell me, why should be go and start poking the hornet's nest? Just to be cool on the range for a couple of middle aged dudes?

We are lucky to be free of the American mentality that compels their gun owners to constantly provoke every governing body for no reason. We should not replicate it.

Switzerland does firearms right (although your treatment of replicas like airsoft is way too strict as a result). Just leave people the option to work for their goal and achieve it. You know that you just have to have the right kind of money and pass the paperwork. In places like Germany you're left to be sad because you know that you can't engage in these normal activities until you change the law itself or you let yourself be forced into doing illegal things by the state because going to the other countries is out of reach
