Not sure if I'm the idiot mall ninja category here, so I'll point out what I'm trying to do is inject some technical backing into the conversation without much editorial.

I prefer the term "SSDG" or "Space Shuttle Door Gunner", though.

Many of these home mods result in a runaway rifle, where it doesn't stop firing when the trigger is released. It only stops when it malfunctions, or runs out of ammo. Definitely not something I'd want an idiot to be carrying.

Are there mods beyond a lightning link or installing a FA FCG (which requires drilling a hole in the proper place)?

There's the Slide Fire linked elsewhere in the thread, which as far as I can tell is just a mechanical bump-fire assist. Bump firing is a Bad Idea, by the way.
