Quoted: Immediately classified as a destructive device would be my guess DD's either explode, burn or are over 50 cal. An energy weapon is none of those. |

Actually, if it truly worked, the company would "go out of business" and a couple years later the .mil would have a new toy on the military channel |

Probably the same as tasers...at first. TASERs fire projectiles but they are propelled by compressed gas. Another system that's less well-known called Stinger also fires projectiles but they are propelled by a centerfire rifle primer and are classified as firearms. |

Dont put it past the ATF to create a new classification system to lump your energy weapon into Class 3

Well, it's neither a firearm nor an explosive so . . . I'd say you'd want to start your research with the Food and Drug Administration regulations since they regulate lasers an the like.

I always wondered this my self. Powerful lasers are already pretty heavy regulated but what if one could put a powerful laser in a small handheld "weapon" aka an arm?

Constitutionally, nobody's business, but we all know what the Constitution is worth. The overseers will make it illegal for the peasants first and then maybe go back later and construct some shoddy argument that what they did was remotely within the bounds of the Constitution. So business as usual basically. |

You may want it to be labeled as a firearm, as they are protected from the various .gov arms that regulate 'dangerous products' (Lawn Darts, etc...). This doesn't protect them from defect liability.
