...without breaking NFA law?
I suspect there is a ffl07 standing off the side of the screen. Dont know what they do about the demo letter though.
There was another episode where the made a device that pulled the trgger on a revolver to find out how fast it could be made to shoot. As soon as they flipped the switch ist a machine gun.
Its not a Machine Gun. The device in question just pulled the revolver trigger really fast. There is a crank device that pulls the 10/22 trigger 4 times per crank allowing you to dump the mag fast.i wondered about that too
Um, how about the fact that it's NOT EVEN A FIREARM? It's an airgun. Or steam gun. Either way, there's not a self contained, explosive mixture cartidge that's loaded and fired multiple times with one action of the trigger.
Not a firearm. Not a machinegun. No more than an airsoft is.
Please note that the other NFA devices makes exceptions for "antiques" or non-fixed ammo, but the MG definition does not.(b) Machinegun. The term 'machinegun'
means any weapon which shoots, is
designed to shoot, or can be readily restored
to shoot, automatically more than
one shot, without manual reloading, by a
single function of the trigger. The term
shall also include the frame or receiver of
any such weapon, any part designed and
intended solely and exclusively, or combination
of parts designed and intended,
for use in converting a weapon into a
machinegun, and any combination of
parts from which a machinegun can be
assembled if such parts are in the possession
or under the control of a person.
So taking this to the extreme with an example, if you created a full auto rubber band gun without registering it, you have committed a felony.The
term 'firearm' shall not include an antique
firearm or any device (other than a machinegun
or destructive device) which,
although designed as a weapon, the Secretary
finds by reason of the date of its
manufacture, value, design, and other
characteristics is primarily a collector's
item and is not likely to be used as a
weapon.

That is also 100% legal. Their definition of a machine gun is one that fires 2 or more rounds with only 1 pull of the trigger.
AFAIK, there are no restrictions on how fast you pull the trigger.
Bump firing an ar-15 is not illegal either.
I'm not a lawyer.

What about nail guns? Is Harbor Freight getting around the "restricted"?
