Milsurps / Prohib Legality of mounting this in my car?
It has the solenoid trigger, so that should work.

Who's gonna argue with you when you've got one of those mounted in your car?

Dam x54r machine gun in this economy. XD as an airsoft tho your ammo savings will be huge and your driving a Toyoda Hilux i think its practically an option package.

This is, almost certainly, one of best ways to get immediately arrested and questioned by the authorities as to why you chose to mount a deactivated machine gun to the roof of your car.

Pretty sure you're gonna get stopped and questioned once in a while.
Still, though...nice.

It has to be clear that it's not real or you get into replica gun issues. If it closely resembles a real firearm then it can land you in jail.
From decommissioned firearms.. to squirt guns.
The more panic is causes, the worse it's going to be.

They always have these Catch All laws so they can charge you if they want to. It's just like "dangerous to the public peace". They can almost always nail you with that no matter what.

No different than public intoxication.
Walking home drunk isn't a crime until it is.
Keep it within reason and reason will be the outcome.

Keep it within reason and reason is usually the outcome. Plenty of example where it wasn't.

Its probably legal, but you’ll get pulled over a lot lol. It’d look pretty sick on an sxs atv too, like a warthog from halo

Don’t quote me on mounting, but mounting it may be one thing, as long as it’s unloaded, but discharging it is a very different story.
“In Canada, discharging a firearm from a vehicle is strictly illegal under the federal Criminal Code and provincial hunting regulations. Doing so carries severe penalties, including mandatory minimum prison sentences, and is only permitted in highly specific, Ministry-approved medical exemptions.”
I would not want to put myself in a position of question as this can come with a minimum five year sentence. Even if you are on private land, I would not want to test the law in this manner.

Its deactivated... so firing it would be a challenge.

u/FearlessDevil666 May 18 '26
Ah, missed that. Thank you. Still though, I’d hate to get into that conversation with any law enforcement. I just don’t see the point in inviting unwanted attention. Personal preference. To each their own.

u/NIBLZ_HAMSTR May 19 '26
Yeah... it would be cool, but not worth the trouble as far as im concerned. Lol
I have a buddy who rents military vehicles to movies.. he has 3 tanks and several vehicles that he drives around (not the tanks) with deactivated weapons on them and I dont think he gets hassled...

I've seen people shooting moose in newfoundland from the side of the road.

“Monkey see, monkey do!” is not the best legal argument. Many hunting regulations state it is your responsibility to know the law.

That doesn't mean it was legal.

u/i-Hermit May 19 '26
Yeah, I mean.. it's not something I'd really thought about because it would never occur to me to shoot out of a vehicle.

Anything resembling a real firearm is prohibited.
So no.

u/goodfleance May 19 '26
This is a real firearm, not a replica. It's 100% legal with no license required as it is deactivated.
If it were mounted on a vehicle There are other laws that may apply, something like a brandishing/threatening or public disturbance charge could be applied depending on the context. But there's nothing illegal about this particular gun or mounting it to a vehicle

That's wrong.
A "real" firearm legally fires a round and functions.
It's not a "real" firearm because it was "remanufactured" to be a "replica".
As it is, it's a replica firearm. Doesn't matter if it contains parts of functional firearms or not.
Being a former firearm only makes it a further clear cut case of looking like a real firearm, and more in breach of replica firearm laws as it's waaay more likely and too be expected by the public to be real/functional.
The law exist because "hey that physical thing looks like it could shoot people" .. a former firearm is more guilty of that than literally anything else that exists.

You are mistaken.
Deactivated firearms are not considered "replica" firearms. While they are for legal purposes "no longer a firearm" they are not "replicas". Replicas are made from scratch to resemble a firearm, deactivated firearms were originally made as Firearms, not replicas, so they are legally distinct.
Replicas are prohibited, deactivated firearms are not.

Mount it to the bed of a hilux like the Middle East
