I'd like to see a link to something documenting those statements. My understanding is that AOW has more to do with barrel length on smoothbores than anything else. The definition of an AOW is in my post above. If ATF has put another one out it would be helpful to all of us to see it.

Recognizing the difference between a revolver and a pistol is a useful distinctinction, just as recognizing the difference between an automatic weapon and a semiautomatic one.
The fact that many of the first semi autos were initially referred to as "automatic" doesn't mean that the distinction shouldn't be made.
