I'd say less the chance is less than that, but you're right that it's much less likely to be fully auto.

It's an AK though, which are fairly prohibitively difficult to convert from semi to full auto

For some reason, many older parts kits used to come with an auto sear. Milling the slot in the bottom rail of the receiver does take some skills and tools but I reckon many shady people did those conversions back in the day and many of them might still be floating around.

I think that the vast majority of people with full autos on the streets nowadays are those with a temu glock switch or an AR and a coat hanger tbh
