Hogs in TX proliferated because there are more land owners wanting to charge people big bucks for hunting feral swine on their property. Now they're everywhere, the hunters are somewhere else, and the land owners have to pay to control them. And indirectly we do, because crop loss insurance is a thing. |

If OAL was actually a legal concern, the length of the permanently attached carriage would count towards it. I am sure you could make a mortar that looked scale but also was 26"+ OAL. I don't think OAL is actually a concern though, given the can cannon has no such restrictions that would trigger it being an AOW.

I saw a video of a mortars once, I think it might have been a chemical mortar, that had a lift charge loaded in the receiver and was fired with a lanyard rather than a charge on the round. Seems like that could be a non DD because it's not fixed ammunition.

I remember reading a few years ago someone was fighting the ATF on RPG2s because by the current definitions it was technically a muzzleloader and thus (the launcher) wasn’t even a firearm let alone a NFA item. Assuming this is the fruit of that legal battle.
