You're thinking of a 37mm FLARE launcher that looks like a 40mm launcher, but ATFE considers ANYTHING that fires an explosive projectile to be a Destructive Device, 40mm or otherwise, and will require its registration.

IF you could find one which was legal to transfer to an individual, it would be registered as a destructive device (DD) with the $200 transfer tax. Ammo is another issue. If you can find them for sale, it's my understanding that each explosive projectile is also a destructive device with a $200 tax per round plus whatever the round costs (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.) I've got a few NFA weapons but no DD stuff.
You occasionaly find 40mm flares, star clusters, smoke and training rounds for sale but thats all I've ever seen |

Chalk rounds are not individually registered. If you want something that goes BOOM, then yeah it's $200+ a pop.

Please do not believe the ramblings on the blogs and other sources that base their content on sensationalism not fact. Gun shows are NOT the source of weapons and incindiary devices going to the Mexican drug cartels. Yes there are many bad things currently happening just over our borders. It is too easy to throw that "gun show" excuse because it is a trendy thing to say.

Of course no one will wonder if Hugo Chávez might be shipping guns to Mexico just to make things tough on the U.S. Obama has called Chávez a great leader, so maybe our president wants to stop guns from the U.S. because Hugo doesn't want competition.

Also you can buy adaptors that allow you to use it as an over/under gub with an AR. Among the opyions are a 12 gauge shotgun shell and a multiround 22 LR where pulling the trigger simulaneously fires over a dozen 22 LRs,
