Frequently Asked Questions

Can you legally own a 50 BMG rifle in California?

In California, 50 BMG rifles are banned. However, a California-compliant version of the Barrett M82A1 exists, featuring a 10-round internal magazine and a fin grip, which allows legal ownership for those who registered it before the ban.

Are suppressed firearms legal to shoot in California?

Yes, suppressed firearms can be legally shot in California, provided they are owned legally. Facilities like Kiwi's Custom Guns offer rentals of suppressed firearms, allowing individuals to experience shooting them legally and safely.

What makes a firearm 'California compliant'?

California compliance often involves features like fixed magazines (non-detachable), fin grips to prevent pistol-style holding, and the removal of flash hiders. Specific regulations vary by firearm type and caliber.

What is the benefit of subsonic ammunition?

Subsonic ammunition travels below the speed of sound, eliminating the 'sonic crack' that accompanies supersonic rounds. This makes suppressed firearms even quieter and is often used for plinking or hunting where noise reduction is paramount.
