The NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT was passed in 1934 and HEAVILY restricted several classes of weapons.
The Act defines a number of categories of regulated firearms. These weapons are collectively known as NFA firearms and include the following:
Machine guns – this includes any firearm which can fire more than 1 cartridge per trigger pull. Both continuous fully-automatic fire and "burst fire" (i.e., firearms with a 3-round burst feature) are considered machine gun features. The weapon’s receiver is by itself considered to be a regulated firearm. Courts have held that where a worn firearm malfunctions in such a way as to fire multiple cartridges one or more times, this makes it a machine gun.
Short barreled rifles (SBRs) – this category includes any firearm with a buttstock and either a rifled barrel under 16" long or an overall length under 26". The overall length is measured with any folding or collapsing stocks in the extended position. The category also includes firearms which came from the factory with a buttstock that was later removed by a third party.
Short barreled shotguns (SBSs) – this category is defined similarly to SBRs, but the length limit for the barrel is 18" instead of 16", and the barrel must be a smoothbore. The minimum overall length limit remains 26".
Suppressors – this includes any portable device designed to muffle or disguise the report of a portable firearm. This category does not include non-portable devices, such as sound traps used by gunsmiths in their shops which are large and usually bolted to the floor.
Destructive Devices (DDs) – there are two broad classes of destructive devices:
* Devices such as grenades, bombs, explosive missiles, poison gas weapons, etc.
* Any non-sporting firearm with a bore over 0.50", such as a 40mm grenade launcher often used in conjunction with military rifles. (Many firearms with bores over 0.50", such as 12-gauge shotguns, are exempted from the law because they have been determined to have a legitimate sporting use.)
Any Other Weapons (AOWs) – this is a broad "catch-all" category used to regulate any number of firearms which the ATF deems deserving of registration and taxation. Examples include, among others:
* Smooth-bore pistols
* Pen guns and cane guns
* A firearm with combinations smooth bore and rifle barrels 12 inches or more but less than 18 inches in length from which only a single shot can be made from either barrel.
* Disguised firearms
* Firearms that can be fired from within a wallet holster or a briefcase
* A short-barreled shotgun which came from the factory with a pistol grip is categorized as an AOW rather than a SBS, because the Gun Control Act describes a shotgun as “…designed or redesigned to be fired from the shoulder…”
* Handguns with a forward vertical grip. It is therefore illegal to place an aftermarket foregrip on any pistol without first registering it as an AOW and paying the 0 "making tax" imposed by the Act.
Violations of the Act are punishable by up to 10 years in federal prison and forfeiture of all devices or firearms in violation, and the individual’s right to own or possess firearms in the future. The Act provides for a penalty of ,000 for certain violations.[8] A willful attempt to evade or defeat a tax imposed by the Act is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a 0,000 fine (0,000 in the case of a corporation or trust), under the general tax evasion statute.[9] For an individual, the felony fine of 0,000 for tax evasion could be increased to 0,000.[10]
Someone mentioned on another question that gun control should be tighter because "Noone needs a machine gun!" Well I have good news for you, as stated above.
And semi-automatic (ONE ROUND PER TRIGGER PULL, AKA AUTO-LOADING) firearms are NOT easily converted to fully automatic!
Most current fully-automatic trigger groups will not fit their semi-automatic firearm look-alike counterparts – the semi-auto
automatic firearm look-alike counterparts – the semi-automatic version is specifically constructed to reject the fully-automatic trigger group by adding metal in critical places. This addition is required by the ATF to prevent easy conversion of Title I firearms into machine guns. Additionally, some fully-automatic trigger groups are also permanently modified in such a way that they can no longer be made to function as fully-automatic fire control devices. The ATF has listed required manufacturing procedures for modifying these fully-automatic trigger groups to make them into legal semi-automatic trigger-groups for civilian sales.
The Assault Weapons Ban had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH FULLY AUTOMATIC WEAPONS! The AWB banned certain rifles, shotguns, and handguns based on certain features, like pistol grips, folding stocks, bayonet lugs (As if there’s ever been a drive-by bayoneting HAHA)
The assault weapons ban was pointless because all it did was ban mostly cosmetic features tha
t have NOTHING to do with how the firearm operates!
Do you know really think that you can just go into a gun store and walk out with a machine gun?!
Natalie: Do you even know what you are talking about? Fully automatic weapons are not ENTIRELY banned, but STRICTLY regulated. You must have permission from the federal government!
Do you think those people want to risk up to 10 years in federal prison and forfeiture of all devices or firearms in violation, and the individual’s right to own or possess firearms in the future. The Act provides for a penalty of ,000 for certain violations. A willful attempt to evade or defeat a tax imposed by the Act is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a 0,000 fine (0,000 in the case of a corporation or trust), under the general tax evasion statute. For an individual, the felony fine of 0,000 for tax evasion could be increased to 0,000.
THERE IS NO LOOPHOLE!
And BTW, I am a SOCIALIST that believes in the right to keep and bear arms.
Wounded Duck:
PROVE IT!
How come my uncle who was a cop for over 25 years NEVER encountered a criminal with an illegal fully automatic weapon?
Most of the guns criminals have are crappy pot metal handguns like Jennings Lorcin, Bryco etc.

What is the most powerful assault rifle in the world right now? I always thought it was the m60 but there has to be a bigger and badder machine gun out there. With the biggest rounds, packs the biggest punch, has the highest rate of fire, most accurate, most reliable and most functional gun out there? Pretty much a BEAST!lol.
pretty much a gun that will rip your body apart and take down a brick wall!lol.

One list of undocumented foreigners’ confiscated weapons.
" U.S. authorities announced they had seized two homemade bombs, materials for making 33 more, military-style grenades, 26 grenade triggers, large quantities of AK-47 and AR-15 assault rifles, 1,280 rounds of ammunition, silencers, machine gun assembly kits, 300 primers, bulletproof vests, police scanners, sniper scopes, narcotics and cash."

Yahoo censors my questions if I use the legal term "illegal aliens". I had to rephrase the question using the term "undocumented foreigners".

i know they carry a handgun but i think that they also cary a mp5 sub machine gun

This is a serious question. I can’t for the life of me think why anyone would need what is essentially a machine gun. Handguns or hunting rifles I can understand. But AKs etc?
jimmy f; yes, but TVs and cars have a specific purpose, ie to entertain/provide transport. An assault rifle has one purpose, to kill people. Lots of them. So why do you need one?
trigunmarksman; I wonder if the US troops being shot at in Iraq would agree that a well armed society is a good thing?

Pennsylvania: An auxiliary officer for a local police department was killed when a machine gun discharged at a private gun show in Blair County.Michael Kurty, 36, of Hollidaysburg, was killed Wednesday night during a gun expo at the Hollidaysburg Sportsmen’s Club.
Police said a Gatling mini-gun attached to a Humvee fired a few thousand rounds earlier in the evening before it discharged and released a fatal shot to Kurty’s head.
""What appears to have happened is there was some sort of a jam and when they were trying to clear the jam is when the gun actually went off," said Pennsylvania State Police trooper Jeff Petucci.
A military official was expected to disarm the Humvee on Thursday.
Officials said Kurty was proficient in all types of firearms and conducted training for many local police departments."

Who killed this guy?
Shouldn’t someone go to jail? Or hang?

The unconstitutional gun control law I do not agree with is the Firearm Owner’s Protection Act of 1986 aka "Restricting machine gun ownership for law abiding citizens law". I believe that this gun control law can be defeated through our court system. I am surprised to know that the NRA has not done anything to overturn it. I am surprised to know that it was a private citizen from the Cato Institute, Mr. Levy, who stood up in court and defeated the unreasonable gun control laws of Washington D.C.
I have told God that if I become rich within my lifetime, I will fight this unconstitutional law in court, hire the best of the best attorneys, and overturn it by legal means. Criminals do not obey the law and they own machine guns, this law makes it very hard and extremely expensive for good law abiding citizens to own a fully automatic firearm. I want every citizen to be able to fully exercise his rights and to have the choice to own the same firearms that our military has. If God blesses me with more wealth and I take this to court? Who do you think will win?

Hellfire missile are too expensive to just shoot 1 man, they are very heavy, and it can cause damage to innocent people. So sniper rifle is better, it is lighter, more accurate, and cheaper. Machine gun would be also good.
By the way are Armed Predator drone better than military helicopter, and jet fighters?
Predators are unmanned aerial vehicle so it will be lighter and it can be smaller than manned aerial vehicle.

I often heard about Russian sending their military to front line with bunches of machine guns behind them. So if anyone who is in the front line turns around, they’ll get mowed down with machine gun.
I’m wondering how do they choose who go to the front line and who will manned the machine gun?
Are those who manned the machine gun lucky one or not?

I’ve noticed that–with some effort–I can bend rebar. Then, when I was in the Corps, the barrel of my rifle was much, much stronger. Similarly, the barrels of the M2 .50cal machine gun, the M19 40mm grenade launcher, and other weapons were just as strong or stronger.
I read up on types of steel on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel
Still, I can’t figure out what type of steel weapons manufacturers use to make military grade fire arms. I suspect that it may be tool steel, dual-phase steel, or Hadfield steel. Another search turned me on to something called "Type 415 Stainless Steel", which I’d hope has a more common or colloquial name.
Does anybody know for sure?
Huh… whatdaya know… no metallurgy section.

In my current mood of "share your memories…"
We were on a firing range with the FN MiniMi (US designation : M249 SAW).
We were firing individually, so the range master come on my side and tell me "Ready…"
I put my machine gun, with a loaded belt on my shoulder, safety off, sights on the lowest part of the target…
"Go !"
I raise the machine gun, I aim, press the trigger and
clunk.
in my head "clunk ? damn it ! jammed !", so I remove the firearm from my shoulder, I give a good tap on the top cover and my hand come on the bolt handle to rack it…and then, I realize something is missing at the end….
People later told me I said : "For sure, it will not work well"
the barrel was on the ground, the link and the ammo too…
The range master was laughing…I thought he would never stop.
Just a fun memory to share with you.
The barrel mount was just…a little too much used on this one.
lol. I still laugh too.

"Fortunately, despite many news stories to the contrary, our government has taken a much more sensible approach than outright banning guns. Iraqis are able to keep weapons up to AK-47s in their home or business and are able to carry guns with them with a permit. These AK-47s are real military machine guns, not the semi-automatic versions that fire only one bullet per trigger pull and are banned from being sold in our country by the 1994 so-called assault-weapons ban. Yet, despite Iraqis owning machine guns and the country still not under control, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld pointed out that Baghdad is experiencing fewer murders than Washington, DC, where handguns are banned."
What is really being said about America here? That even a war-torn nation full machine gun toting "terrorists" is safer than America? Or that America should be more like Iraq?

Many counters exist for missiles(lasers, goaltender machine gun, …) but can a state of the art destroyer of carrier do anything against a torpedo after it is launched?

Here are my picks: assault rifle- ACR (with stopping power of course), sub machine gun- P90, LMG- AUG HBAR, and sniper rifle- Intervention.
I’m interested in what you guys think are the best for each.
For sub machine gun I meant to put UMP 45/P90.
Posted in military assault | 3 Comments »
when i first got the game i used a sub machine gun, with barely any success. But now im going to use a sniper rifle to try to get my KD a little higher. which sniper rifle should i use?
Posted in sniper rifle | 7 Comments »
Be serious, no answers involving your muscles or video games. And keep the pacifist anti-gun stuff to yourself.
Mine are:
Sniper-Barrett m98bravo or xm500
Assault-FN SCAR Mk17 standard w/ Mk13 gren launcher
SMG-KRISS .45
Shotgun-AA12
Machine gun-249SAW
Handgun-kimber 1911 or glock 21

I want to get a gun that will be a secondary for a sniper. I was thinking either a high powered C02 pistol or a long range machine gun. FPS around 400. Price around -0.
Posted in sniper rifle | 4 Comments »
when i left the service i remember there were two camps on this. one saying that the possibility of a misfire combined with the sound of the bolt sliding forward could compromise the ambush…others being more optimistic and saying that the first thing to roll out the red carpet should be the machine gun.
