What Types of Firearms or Items Qualify as Class 3?
Machine Gun Tours has several of the Class 3 examples including:
- Short Barrel Shotguns(SBSs) – This is ANY Shotgun with a barrel length less than 18″. Shotguns falling into this category are considered “Short Barrelled” and need proper licencing to purchase.
- Short Barrel Rifles(SBRs) – Similar to SBS, these are Rifles that have a barrel length shorter than 16″, including flash hider. To clarify, rifles are defined as having a ‘stock’. Not to get confused with some of the stockless pistols available.
- Machine Guns – It’s common knowledge that only semi-automatic weapons are available to most consumers, so Machine Guns are a class 3 firearms. These are firearms that are fully automatic and covers a lot of guns, from machine pistols to PDWs, SMGs, Rifles and belt fed platforms.
- Suppressors – One of Hollywood’s favorites and our most popular Class 3 items here at Machine Gun tours is the Suppressor or Silencer. While not a firearm this is a Class 3 product. With the popularity of the benefits of suppressors the process of obtaining them can still be intense, but is more simplified compared to other applications.
- Any Other Weapon(AOW) – These are products that are “Any weapon or device capable of being concealed on the person and from which a shot can be discharged through the energy of an explosive.” So it covers a large range of concealable weapons as well as explosive projectiles.
