With it, comes the downside of RPG2s, lack of range. But still would be fun. One of the problems of doing an RPG7 is the lack of tail fin sections, they're not as cheap and plentiful as they used to be 10 years ago. If you find them, be ready to pay a good amount of money for one. Then you gotta figure out how to load the powder in the tail fins without it just flopping around all loose, the OG boosters use cordite looking strips and are just tied around the tail fins. The RPG2 just uses spring sheet metal type fins that have been cut to a square and bolted to the end of a wooden dowel, then behind it is where you screw on the cardboard tube aka booster that's filled with powder and sectioned off chambers. That's why you see more live RPG2s out there launching projos, they're just easier to make. |

Hence the helicopter hog "hunts" because it's not defined as hunting View Quote As it was explained to me by our game warden, in VA, on a kill permit, hunting regulations do not apply, because it’s not hunting, it’s killing. For example, there are no caliber restrictions. This provided me an excellent (lawful) opportunity to learn that a 5.56 is actually a fantastic caliber for whitetail, provided you are proficient with your shot placement and use appropriate ammunition (64gr GD for me). And I’d love an RPG for further “research”. |

Look up the Snow Goose Special Conservation Order - RPG canister with steel BBs looks like it would be within the rules. I'd love a belt- or hopper-fed shotgun myself. Hogs are too scary to annoy with #4 shot. .50 cal is the minimum caliber for those things. |

Ooooh. So I got an interesting update. The device in question will include a tax stamp free HE round that lacks armor penetrating abilities- being sold as an avalanche control device.
Price...soon...January. One of the main dudes working on this is out of pocket through the holidays. |

Non semi auto straight wall cartridge firearms are legal to hunt deer with where I'm at. I kinda wanna bloop a deer in the face with one. Then you'd be using it as a weapon, and it would become a regulated weapon. Either an SBR (because it has a rifled barrel under 16" and is shoulder fired) or a DD (if it lacks a stock). The funny thing, is if you had one with a 16" barrel and a stock, it actually wouldn't need to be registered at all...even if you used it for hunting. Because rifles over .50 cal which the owner intends to use solely for sporting purposes is exempt from the definition of a DD. ATF couldn't do fuck all about it as the burden is on ATF in such a case to show evidence you intended to use it for other than sporting purposes. It is the exact same as having bottles of gasoline in your garage and rags stacked next to them. Perfectly legal unless it can be objectively shown you intend to use these things unlawfully. |
