If you made a full auto bb gun would it be legal? When would it be considered a firearm? Do you need gun powder or some other chemical propellant to make it a firearm?
Potato guns
There is some concern about definitions, as there are applications for launching projectiles where you do not want the device considered a "weapon".
Can't remember where or when, but I got to play with one at some kind of shooting gallery in an amusement area
Even if the first shot destroys it, but if the sound is reduced by one decibel it is an illegal silencer.
Air powered guns are not firearms. Even muzzle loaders are not firearms.
A silencer, in and of itself, is an NFA item regardless of what someone uses it for. Even if all you do is use it for a doorstop it's still an NFA item. Given that is what the law actually says, there's no need to twist or argue anything.They of course argue that under the NFA the silencer is the firearm itself, and can twist logic to confuse the feeble minded juror.
and the ATF offers no clear cut answer on replicas for paintball/airsoft/pellet rifles etc.
