37mm launchers

BATFE says some non lethal is still a Destructive Device. Has to do with sporting purposes and the bore diameter.

Not really much of a difference otherwise between a 40mm and 37m besides what the tube/action can handle.

With a 37mm you can get it with no paperwork and form 1 it if you plan to use non signaling devices in it.

Fom my understanding the only legal thing you can fore out of a 37mm is signaling and smoke unless you make it a Destructive Device. Any antipersonnel or Solid Projectiles are forbidden. You don't need a stamp to have the "antipersonnel rounds if they have under a certain amount of charge in them AND you have a REGISTERED 37mm luncher.

For the 40mm you have to find a place that will get one and transfer it. Not easy, nor are the rounds easy to get. The 37mm is much easier to obtain and you just get it engraved and Form 1 the device for $200.00

FWIW Im still not sure if a D.D. is legal in MD. I will only proceed if its legal. Otherwise Ill wait till Im not a MD resident anymore.

Sounds like CYA, but YMMV if you want to try it.
