Can Cannon B.A.T.F.E Determination Letter and the answer isn’t good!

    Okay everyone, rev up your discussion typing fingers…  X Products submitted to BATFE for determination and received a response.

    in the Can Cannons current configuration it is considered an SBR Short Barrel Rifle when placed on a rifle receiver, and an AOW Any Other Weapon when installed on a pistol.

    Who here has had the chance to play with one?  I have.  They are a ton of fun.  So, if I read this right, BATFE considers it an SBR or AOW once it is assembled and useful?  Thoughts?
