A YouTuber with nearly 200,000 subscribers was sentenced to five years in federal prison for detailing how to convert a semi-automatic rifle into an illegal machine gun, prosecutors announced.

Matthew Raymond Hoover, a 39-year-old from Wisconsin, ran an account called CRS Firearms, where he advertised tools called Auto Key Cards, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida. The cards were made of metal and laser engraved to contain removable pieces that could be assembled to form a “lightning link” which could convert semi-automatic guns into fully automatic guns.

Hoover’s video advertising the product – in which he told viewers they could “drop it in your receiver, scratch your full auto itch, throw it away when you’re done” and “no one’s the wiser” – led to a “substantial increase” in sales for the devices, according to the attorney’s office.

The seller of the devices, 43-year-old Kristopher Justinboyer Ervin from Orange Park, Florida, described his product as a “pen holder,” a “novelty,” and a “political sculpture,” according to prosecutors. Ervin sold the devices on a website called AutoKeyCards.com, which has been seized by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
