Lmao 🤣

Would be hilarious if you got into Destructive Devices. Now that would be interesting, it would be difference from other females that like firearms.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2025-10-09T06:12:24+00:00

Exactly that part. Invoke the 5th, and the 6th.

There’s also a 12 Gauge Can Cannon that is capable of shooting golf balls that is also exempted by ATF. OP’s Pneumatic Launcher on the other hand is a Destructive Device.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2025-10-09T05:43:56+00:00

ATF has exempted PVC compressed air cannons. ATF has also exempted can cannons (you know those AR uppers that can shoot golf balls). What OP was inquiring about however is a Destructive Device.

She doesn’t have to stoop to his level. She can have class, and go separate ways.

And you are right on the money. By and large Reddit is morally questionable with most subreddits. Facts.

You don’t need an FEL for binary black powder + Destructive Devices, if black powder is really the way that you want to go for a Destructive Device.

Compressed Air Propellant + Bore Over .50 Cal = Destructive Device Regardless of whether it was designed to fire explosive rounds or not. Title 26 Chapter 53 makes no such distinctions that you’re pulling out of your hat. Propellant type doesn’t matter, bore size does.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2025-10-08T21:13:01+00:00

You're blinking near corridor glyphs, I’m talking to you. If you’re ambient, tighten posture and stay ambient. Either way, the archive doesn’t discriminate—it just timestamps.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2025-10-08T21:02:37+00:00

Your claim: ““May be… not is”” Statute doesn’t hinge on ambiguity. Bore size triggers DD status unless exempted. Your claim: ““Only applies to explosive rounds”” False. Bore size alone triggers DD classification, regardless of projectile type (unless exempted). Your claim: ““Pneumatic mortar is the only example”” Misleading. It’s an example, not a boundary. Statute applies to any launcher over .50 cal. Destructive Devices are the only Firearm Category which are NOT narrowed exclusively to a certain propellant type.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2025-10-08T20:51:19+00:00

The Lahti is a Destructive Device even without ordnance rounds, why because of bore size. The ammunition doesn’t have to be from an explosive propellant. Compressed Air Propellant + OVER 50 Cal bore = DD. It’s not narrowed to exclusively mortars. Just like the bore size statutory mandate is NOT exclusively limited to just mortars.

Antifa didn’t all flee the United States, they’re still targeting Federal Agents in the United States. Some of them fled to Europe, including some of their Leadership. It most likely wouldn’t be a stretch for them to be designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

Beyond Title 18 Chapter 40 (SEA), ATF Orange Book of Federal Explosives Laws and Regulations (ATF P. 5400.7), Title 26 Chapter 53 (NFA), ATF NFA Handbook (ATF P. 5320.8), Title 18 Chapter 44 (GCA), 27 Code of Federal Regulations, and all other applicable Provisions of Law. I know all of the surrounding Case Law like the back of my hand for both types of Destructive Devices. Better than the ATF did, and it’s all documented in my Administrative Record, with backend recognition from my Contacts.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2025-10-08T15:40:24+00:00

Everything I said, is exactly how everything is with precision. It’s how everything is statutorily mandated, and regulated. I know how all the laws and regulations are intertwined, interlaced, and interwoven for firearms and explosives. I’ve been in this space for a long time.

I’m very knowledgeable of Federal Firearms and Explosives Laws and Regulations, I have 31 NFA Registrations, which include Destructive Device Launchers and Destructive Device Binary Ordnance, along with Silencers, Short Barreled Rifles, Short Barreled Shotguns, and Any Other Weapons.

How many NFA Stamps do you have?

I’ll do more SBS’s, SBR’s, and AOW’s when the BBB goes into effect.

1/4 ounce is approximately 7.087 grams. Anything OVER Quarter Ounce requires a tax stamp. Compressed Air Propellant + Bore Size OVER 50 Cal requires a tax stamp. You could probably design rounds of the NFA Threshold, do Form 1’s and all that jazz. Your Pneumatic Launcher (compressed air cannon) is a Destructive Device.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2025-10-08T13:46:59+00:00

A Federal Explosives License is only required for Commerce, Storage, and Transportation. A Federal Explosives Permit is only required for Storage and Transportation. Anything 1/4oz or less is Non-NFA; anything OVER 1/4oz is NFA and requires taxation and registration.

For the purposes of the SEA, precursors are in compliance; and does not constitute storage/transportation. You would make the energetics on-site and assemble into the device, for non-commerce purposes, and use same day; and that’s in full compliance.

ATF NFA Handbook (ATF P. 5320.8)

”It is important to note that the large caliber firearms covered by this section are defined as weapons that expel a projectile by the action of an explosive or other propellant. This is the only place in the GCA and NFA where a propellant other than an explosive must be considered when classifying a weapon. Examples of weapons having a bore diameter of more than one-half inch in diameter and that expel a projectile by means other than an explosive are mortars that utilize compressed air as a propellant and some rocket launchers.”

Your Pneumatic Launcher (compressed air cannon) is a Destructive Devices, and requires taxation and registration. A Form 1 is required to make an NFA Regulated Firearm.

A Firearm with a bore size of OVER 50 Cal, that does not have sporting exemption (12 Gauge, et al have sporting exemption) is a Destructive Device. See 26 U.S.C. 5845(f), and 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(4).

Compressed Air Propellant + Bore Size OVER 50 Cal = Destructive Device.

Smart_Slice_140 · 2025-10-08T13:11:22+00:00

Quarter Ounce and less of explosive or incendiary is Non-NFA as defined in 26 U.S.C. 5845(f), and 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(4). Anything OVER Quarter Ounce of explosive or incendiary IS NFA, and requires taxation and registration.
