"Tunnel Weapon"?

I could be wrong here, but I seem to recall an ATF ruling or release or something a while back that stated that individual cartridges such as the ones used in the tunnels, were each themselves to be considered an NFA silencer, subject to the usual regulations.

Kinda curious as to whether that means one could reload and reuse the same "silencer" over and over without re-submitting the paperwork. You'd only have to spend $1200 in taxes to load up an entire cylinder.
 
Randy and I were both stationed at the Army Traning Support Center at Fort Eustis, VA in the early '80s -- I haven't seen him more than a few times since then, and have no current address for him.
 
Just want to thank my brothers in arms for their service. I spent my time in the Delta trying to clear the canals and backwaters from a Monitor. Biggest damn floating firebase we had back then that could pentrate any real distance back country.

The tough part was going in to pick up survivors of special units.

Thanks from another old war dog.
 
We managed to "liberate" a Mac10 w/can from a jeep. After the fuss died down (about 2 weeks IIRC, Gunny was not happy) it was used by our "rats" with good effect!!:evil::D

Here is also a photograph of AAI's "silent shotshell" (fired and unfired), that worked roughly the same way that the QSPR did; a folded metal membrane inside the shell keeps the propellant gases inside the shell when it is fired, but the payload is given enough of a boost that it's still lethal at normal gunfight ranges. Unlike the QSPR rounds, these would cycle through any ordinary 12-gauge pump-action shotgun.
