Almost.

Generally speaking, the 37mm isn't a firearm at all since it's exempted as a signaling device, just like any other flaregun.

I don't believe there are any such devices with rifled barrels, so it doesn't really matter at this point.

This statement can get people in deep trouble. With launchers if it is a 26.5mm, 37mm or what not, the ammo possesed with it can dictate it's
"exempt satus".ATF ruled that anti personel ammo in possesion with a launcher makes the launcher a DD and if not registered they could have issues.

I have handled 37mm's with rifled barrels they were made in the late 80's to early 90's. Not many of them made but they are out there.
