I've read through some relevant threads and I'm curious about bangsticks and power heads.
Is a power head simply a small device meant to be attachedto a spear? vs. a bangstick that is a self-contained device?
I've seen them both for sale on a couple websites, how is it that they can be sold wihtout using a Federaly licensed Firearms dealer (in the US) ? Certainly they fall under the definitions of class I or II weapons and should be controlled by BATF, no?
I even saw one thread where the making of one of these things was described and suggested... if that was done on a firearms discussion board the BATF would start checking IP addys!
Now, all that stuff aside, are these ever used for hunting, or for defense only?
