PCC if it has a stock, no matter the barrel length. Or just a "pistol" without a stock or just a brace. Especially for things that aren't even clones, just their own entity like the Scorpion etc. “People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love.” –Chuck Palahnuik Be harder to kill: https://preparefit.ck.page | |||

No, a Pistol has to have specifics, like no stock, or vertical fore end grip regardless of barrel size 7",8",10.5", etc... Then there is the SBR category, which also has specifics and a $200 ATF Tax Stamp. You cannot just say anything less than 16" is a pistol. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A Veteran is someone who wrote a blank check Made payable to 'The United States of America' for an amount of 'Up to and including their life'.

It would be more accurate to call the item in question a Carbine or denote SA without the automatic term. Thompson Carbine Thompson SA Uzi Carbine Etc. | |||

What do you have against the words Pistol and Rifle A semi-auto is a semi-auto period. Why try to make something sound more dangerous? Regarding the AR platform, you have it backwards. The M16 was a select fire copy of the AR-15 rifle, not the other way around ------------------------------------------------------------------ NRA Benefactor . . . Certified Instructor . . .

Another name is needed since a firearm without a stock, with an 8: barrel weighing 5 to 6 pounds is a lot different. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Democracy is 2 Wolves & a Lamb debating the lunch menu.

There is entirely too much thought wrapped up here. | |||

| Doin' what I can with what I got  |
I agree with the OP. Putting my MPX in the same class as my M17 is accurate only in the eyes of the law. I typically call it a faux submachine gun. Like faux wood. Looks like one...but it ain't. ---------------------------------------- Death smiles at us all. Be sure you smile back. | |||
