Flaming Tennis Balls

Found this blurb on the ATF.GOV website.

ATF has previously examined "potato guns" or "spud guns" as described above and has generally determined that such devices using potatoes as projectiles and used solely for recreational purposes are not weapons and do not meet the definition of "firearm" or "destructive device" in either the NFA or GCA. However, ATF has classified such devices as "firearms" and "destructive devices" if their design, construction, ammunition, actual use, or intended use indicate that they are weapons. For example, ATF has classified such devices as "firearms" and "destructive devices" if they are designed and used to expel flaming tennis balls.

So as a public safety announcement...
remember, flaming tennis balls are no laughing matter.

Good stuff - can you send me the link to the actual page, though? I can't find it - not sure where exactly to look on the site.

Sorry, found it here. From the main sight, go to the FAQ --> Firearms, and then select "Are "potato guns" or "spud guns" legal?".
