What's the best grenade/flare launcher to put on an MP5?

Seems like most underbarrel ones are pretty long. Would be nice to have shorter than this one:

Anybody know how do you register a flare launcher so you can use a beehive? Is it just like registering an sbr?

Check out this video of beehive. Wild. I think it's 15 rounds of .22 looks like he had a lot of tracers loaded.

Registering a 37mm launcher as a DD is much cheaper than a 40mm counterpart. Each round with anti personal loads has to be registered as a DD as well. So be it can get really expensive.

Great info thx! I don't have any interest in grenades, but I'm wondering how hard it would be to register a 37mm launcher to be able to shoot a .22lr beehive?

Technically doesn't that count as a MG because more than one round is fired for each pull of the trigger?

No, it seems to be part of the multi-barrel exemption the ATF (mostly) uses to make that determination. There are quite a few multi-barrel single-trigger guns out there that the ATF does not mind. Of course there are the ones that they do mind, but that is a totally separate topic (according to the ATF).

My understanding is that volleyfire is not considered a machine gun. But where the registry comes in is not shooting smoke, flare, fireworks, bacon, salt, pepper, dog food, rolos, etc. I think the beehive is considered antipersonnel cuz it shoots bullets. That's what I understand so far anyway, I may be wrong.
