[SavageEagle]

Not sure. It was flagged and removed before I could catch it.

And yes, I've seen that potato gun on there a few times now. It seems someone's got nothing better to do than to flag posts!

I think because they fire a projectile, not 100% sure though.

Wow. That has got to suck. I hope I never become a felon.....

Wait, I thought Scutter posted a lil while back that the potato gun wasn't actually considered a firearm, unless actually fired AT someone in intent to harm them? or something like that

 

[ArmyMP]

thats why they cant own it... because it can be used like that.... as long as you shoot produce out of it your fine.. but if you fire something else it better have a serial number and a stamp

The ATF does not consider potato guns Class III DD's.

Letter from the ATF

The following letter is from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms

Department of the Treasury Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms Washington, DC 20226 As defined in section 921(a) (3) of Title 18, United States Code (USC) the term "firearm" means -- * (A) any weapon (including a starter gun) which will or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; * (B) the frame or receiver of any such weapon; * (C) any firearm muffler or firearm silencer; or * (D) any destructive device. Such term does not include an antique firearm. As defined in 26 USC subsection 5845(f) (2) the term destructive device includes any type of weapon by whatever name known which will, or which may readily be converted to, expel a projectile by the action of an explosive or other propellent, the barrel or barrels of which have a bore of more than one-half inch in diameter, except a shotgun or shotgun shell which the Secretary or his delegate finds is generally recognized as particularly suitable for sporting purposes; and (3) any combination of parts either designed or intended for use in converting any device into a destructive device as defined in subparagraphs (1) and (2) and from which a destructive device may be readily assembled. The term 'destructive device' shall not include any device which is neither designed nor redesigned for use as a weapon; any device, although originally designed for use as a weapon, which is redesigned for use as a signaling, pyrotechnic, line throwing, safety, or similar device; surplus ordnance sold, loaned, or given by the Secretary of the Army pursuant to the provisions of section 4684(2), 4685, or 4686 of title 10 of the USC; or any other device which the Secretary of the Treasury or his delegate finds is not likely to be used as a weapon, or is an antique or is a rifle which the owner intends to use solely for sporting purposes. It is unlawful for anyone to make or possess a destructive device which is not registered in accordance with the provisions of the National Firearms Act. We have previously examined that certain muzzle loading devices known as "potato guns." These potato guns are constructed from PVC plastic tubing. They use hair spray or a similar aerosol substance for a propellant, and have some type of spark ignitor. We have determined that these devices, as described, are not firearms provided that they are used solely for launching potatoes for recreational purposes. However, any such devices which are used as weapons or used to launch other forms of projectiles may be firearms and destructive devices as defined.​

Pretty sure paintball guns are out of the question, but not sure about a potato gun. Maybe it depends on the size, i don't know. But as far as I know, felons can't have crossbows, compound bows, etc along with firearms. And if that's true, why can they sell those on CL and not firearms? Doesn't make any sense.

Ever seen how fries are made in a large factory? It's not much different.
