According to the list posted on The Firearms Blog, about half a dozen select-fire arms were among those stolen: some AR-15-type rifles and at least one submachine gun, which looked vaguely like an HK64 (?? company designation for MP5).
According to the National Firearms Act, any firearm capable of firing more than one round with each trigger pull is legally a “machine gun.” Includes pure full auto, burst fire, and select fire.
The generic military definition of “machine gun” is a crew-served weapon of rifle caliber or larger, capable of sustained full auto fire, typically belt fed or fed by large capacity magazines: M249, M60, Bren, Lewis etc.
Private ownership of new-made “machine guns” has been banned since May 1986. FFL dealers with the applicable Special Occupational Tax Stamp (renewed yearly) may possess newer machine guns only if they already have a letter from a law enforcement agency or other official government organization (as approved by BATFE) requesting a demonstration and/or sales sample. Manufacturers have a separate set of regulations they must follow, and must possess the applicable BATFE licenses.
Remington isn’t purely a gunmaker and has not been for some years. It’s now a conglomerate holding company that owns Marlin, H&R, Para-Ordnance, and other manufacturers. Including DPMS or DSA (I forget which), and others making select-fire rifles for law enforcement & military sales.
The SHOT Sow has for some years been trending toward military, security, and law enforcement suppliers and consumers - according to show attendees. Among civilians, that includes survivalists, preppers, and the generic tacticool mall ninja wannabe. Outdoor sports like hunting are in the back seat.
