Others think that it may come without a semi function. It may go around the one pull per round fired by being binary fired only.
Interesting part of that article.
Having already received approval as a non-rifle from the Chief of the Firearms Technology Division, Reformation® will be shipping without any onerous NFA paperwork required.
Franklin Armory® President, Jay Jacobson, noted, "The patent pending technology employed in Reformation® will create a whole new market segment that will not require NFA approval
Could be. However if it is a legitimate way to bypass the SBR laws, I'm calling it the ATF trolling of the year.So.....I may be getting too old to figure this out but just Who's trolling Who?
Appears more like Franklin Armory is trolling us for publicity.
YEah, I dont know.. I do figure though that things like this will force the ATF to rewrite the rules of whats what.. for better or worse.
I'm still not exactly sure how the Shockwave gets around SBS rules, because it's still a shotgun. It uses a smooth bore, it uses shotgun shells as ammunition, common sense says it's a shotgun. That it has a weird grip is beside the point really, but I guess technically it's not a pistol grip, nor a stock.
2.1.1 Shotgun A shotgun is a firearm designed to be fired from the shoulder and designed to use the energy of the explosive in a fixed shotgun shell to fire through a smooth bore either a number of projectiles or a single projectile for each pull of the trigger.
2.1.2 Weapon made from a shotgun. A weapon made from a shotgun is a shotgun type weapon that has an overall length of less than 26 inches or a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length.
...
2.1.5 Any other weapon. Firearms meeting the definition of "any other weapon" are weapons or devices capable of being concealed on the person from which a shot can be discharged through the energy of an explosive. Many "any other weapons" are disguised devices such as penguns, cigarette lighter guns, knife guns, cane guns and umbrella guns.
...
Also included in the "any other weapon" definition are pistols and revolvers having smooth bore barrels designed or redesigned to fire a fixed shotgun shell.
...
While the above weapons are similar in appearance to weapons made from shotguns, they were originally manufactured in the illustrated configuration and are not modified from existing shotguns. As a result, these weapons do not fit within the definition of shotgun or weapons made from a shotgun.
