I didn't explain myself verbosely enough, though. You're right, if it is post-sample, you need a letter.

It looks like it would be a real blast to shoot, both literally & figuratively. I wish I could buy one. It looks like it would be a real blast to shoot, both literally & figuratively.

They said they (the manufacturer and "reporter") went to Blackwater's range. Actually they didn’t say Blackwater was buying.

Like the Jackhammer, it is a post 86 MG because it fires multiple rounds per trigger pull. It isn’t a DD because it hasn’t been declared one.

I own a DD ... it's not that big of a deal. Get an FFL, pay the class 3 SOT, and get a local PD to write you a demonstration letter, and you too can purchase any bang-toys your heart desires at real market prices, instead of insane "pre-May '86 transferable" prices.

But, while it lets you own and build new NFA firearms, It <strong>doesn't</strong> let you purchase new NFA weapons from someone else unless you have a police demo letter - or a government contract that exempts you. Our SOT holding company can't go buy a new Select-Fire M4 from Colt, or a Dillon Aero Minigun, unless we have government permission first. I agree that the accusations of cronyism are unwarranted.

Destructive Devices are in fact NFA firearms, and would be purchased, for a govt. agency, with no more trouble machinegun, but in this case, this is NOT a DD, it's just another machinegun.

Guess Mr. Christain, the owner of Blackwater spent his money will with donations to the Bush campain in 00 and 04. Can we say cronie.

Usually for export, and in most cases, they still can't re-import them without going through the ATF hoops for importing MGs. I've bid out NFA firearms for stateside civilian contractors intending to export. I say it's horseshit, but maybe I'm just jealous because my personal multi-million dollar contract with the US government doesn't let me tote a select-fire M4.
