Some examples of what is a DD and what is not:
Muzzle loading cannon - NOT, as it is an antique design, unless it
has some special features allowing breech loading.
A grenade - is a DD
A molotov cocktail - is a DD
An M-79 or M-203 40mm grenade launcher - is a DD
A smooth bore 37mm projectile launcher - not a DD. Not even a
title 1 firearm. This falls under the signalling device
exception, I believe. It is helped by the fact that no explosive
ammo has ever been commercially made for it.
A 40mm grenade for an M-79 or M-203 - a DD.
Non-explosive 40mm practice ammo - not a DD. Commercial making of
it would require a type 10 FFL though, as although the ammo is not
itself classified as a DD, making ammo for a DD requires the FFL.
A non-sporting 12 gauge shotgun - is a DD, because it has a bore
over 1/2", and is not exempted unless it meets the "sporting use"
test. Check out the Gilbert Equipment Co., v. Higgins case for how
the sporting use test has been re-interpreted from what it meant
when the law was enacted to having ATF be arbiters of what is
"sport".
A Flame Thrower - not a DD, nor even a firearm. Unregulated as
to possession, under federal law. Great way to clear snow off the
driveway.
