You mean like the Shockwave and TAC-14?

I'm honestly not too worried about it. Even if they said "ILLEGAL" tomorrow, they'd have a hell of a time I.D.'ing who owns them since, at least here, they're transferred as a shotgun, there's nothing I.D.'ing it as a shockwave on the transfer forms, and even the serial numbers aren't unique.
Then again, maybe it wasn't so crazy after all.
Lancaster oval bore rifle.

The Newton-Pope Rifling and the Oval Bore.Quote:
Charles Lancaster was a famous British gunmaker in the 1800s. Mr. Lancaster was not only interested in small arms, but also larger cannons as well. In 1850, he came up with the idea of an oval shaped bore. The bore would be slightly oval shaped and would rotate throughout the length of the barrel and therefore, a tightly fitting projectile would come out spinning, just like a rifle bullet. Unlike a true rifle though, there are no grooves and therefore, no sharp rifling edges, which makes the bore easier to clean.

Instead of the barrel being cut with grooves having their bottoms concentric with the bore of the rifle, and forming sharp angles at the sides, the groove is merely a segment of a circle having a shorter radius than that of the bore
Well if nothing else, the buzz about this thing has been YUGE.
Maybe the buttstock delivers an electric shock so as to discourage shouldering
While the sheer stupidity of the nature of NFA laws frustrates me to no end, I really dislike the "NFA loophole!" marketing angle bugs me. Flaunting that you're exploiting a loophole is just begging to be made a villain by some leftist hit piece on irresponsible gun makers and how things need to get cracked down on further. No, the law is BS, and it shouldn't matter, but the first rule of exploiting loopholes is you keep your mouth shut or the loophole gets closed.
