Are blank-firing movie guns still subject to the NFA? Couldn't you just swap uppers on a blank firing M16 to a proper one and go full giggle? If they ARE subject to the NFA, how do they get M240s and G36s with 922(o) being a thing? (For now. Soon)

Movie set armorers and weapon rental companies are generally (Type 7, Type 8, Type 10, or Type 11) Federal Firearms Licensees that pay their Class 1 or Class 2 Special Occupational Tax that makes them fully licensed manufacturers or importers of NFA weapons.

Possessing the proper licenses DOES allow you to import or manufacture machine guns after 1986.
>>29521685
am I correct in assuming these post 86 MGs aren't really transferable or obtainable within the civilian market?
>>29521685
Makes sense, but don't they have to sell guns to maintain their FFL?
>>29521713
Impossible to obtain on the civilian market unless you get it illegally
>>29521713
Yes. If you want a post-86 machinegun without being law enforcement or military, you must be a federal firearms licensee/special occupational taxpayer that makes a business out of it.
>>29521716
Only if they're a dealer. If they have an importer or manufacturer license, and make a business out of importing and manufacturing (including rentals), no sales need occur. This is how many gun ranges maintain a stock of machineguns for rental.
>>29521713
Generally, however there are some posties, allegedly, that are in circulation.
Yes they are still fully regulated NFA items, it's not like they're deactivated.
IIRC the MP5 carried by Dr. Dre in Training Day was an airsoft replica, specifically because Dre is a felon and they couldn't legally have him handling an NFA, blank-converted real MP5
