Frequently Asked Questions

Can civilians legally own a grenade launcher?

Civilians can legally own 37mm launchers, which are classified as signaling devices, not destructive devices like military 40mm grenade launchers. This distinction means they don't require an NFA tax stamp, but modifications to fire projectiles are illegal.

What is the difference between a 37mm and 40mm launcher?

A 37mm launcher is legally a signaling device intended for flares or fireworks. A 40mm launcher is typically a military-grade destructive device regulated under the NFA, requiring extensive paperwork and a tax stamp for civilian ownership.

Is it legal to modify a 37mm launcher?

No, it is illegal and carries felony charges to modify a 37mm launcher or its ammunition to fire projectiles, shrapnel, or excessive powder charges. Doing so converts it into an unregistered destructive device.

What kind of ammunition can be used in a 37mm launcher?

Legally, 37mm launchers are designed for signaling purposes, using ammunition like flares, smoke emitters, and fireworks. They are not intended for or legally permitted to fire projectile rounds.
