37mm add-on...why?

I want some smoke rounds for it. I'd love to put one on my pic rail on the bottom of my paintball gun. :)

Probably too dangerous to use with real people downrange though.

37mm is just a smooth piss tube with no rifling.

I don't believe the rifling, or lack of it, has anything to do with it being registered or not.

The CFC found a cartridge that had a muzzle velocity of over 500 fps (a less than lethal round which produced 550 fps) and as such, declared the 40mm launchers to be a firearm. And this was despite the fact you couldn't buy these rounds in Canada. This was around the time that Dlask's M203s were being seized, and certain departments were also trying to control the 40mm Milkor launcher that found it's way into private hands.

Around the same time, they also declared the RPG-7 a firearm, since it could be fitted with a subcal kit which would fire a round.

I have no doubt that when they have a reason or desire to control the 37mm launchers, they will either find a round or an adapter which will make the 37mm launchers meet the definition of a firearm.

Shame these departments don't have any criminal control work to do, and have to worry about collector's toy control.

Just do a search with the term Milkor. Look for titles with controlled goods department in them. Then get ready to read many pages.

The Can Post mistake, followed by the owners call to the local PD to report the loss, may well have been what started the ball rolling on the Milkor. There is a department of controlled goods which controls the import, export, and possession of many types of military goods. They got into the act, along with the CFC/RCMP lab. At about the same time, Dlask imported some M203s, but without the proper permits, which would not have been given if they had applied for them. In the end, I believe the Directorate of controlled goods was satisfied that if an owner of a M203 had it registered with the CFC, they would not have to register with the Directorate of Controlled Goods.

Just as well too. The Directorate publishes, on the internet, a full alphabetical list with the names, address, and phone numbers of all businesses and individuals who are registered with them. Now there is a shopping list for a criminal looking for implements of war.

Looking at it, a Panzerfaust doesn't meet the MV requirement to be a firearm either. With the blackpowder charge, I wonder you could get one with inert projectiles passed as a muzzleloader?
