Howdy, Working on a translation project, and need the correct american term for "making a gun non-functional", so that it no longer need to be registrated? Or maybe you don't do stupid things like that with guns in America? Thanks, Bent Fossdal Reiso 5685 Uggdal Norway | ||

There are a few terms you could use. In Australia there are various rules regarding the collecting of firearms. The NSW regulations mention certain categories of firearms “…must be rendered permanently incapable of being fired…†In the notes on Firearms Collectors on the NSW Police website: “To apply for a Firearms Collector Licence you must:…… “permanently disable category D firearms and temporarily disable all other collection firearms. For details on this please refer to the brochure 'Disabling a Firearm'†You might also use language such as “render the firearm inoperable†Good luck with your translation project. Hope this helps. - stu | |||

The word "deactivate" comes to mind. It's mercy, compassion and forgiveness I lack; not rationality. | |||

Make inoperable. Make non-operational. For military weapons I believe it is called Demilitarize or to De-mill for short. -Spencer | |||

Deactivated. You might come across the term DEWAT - deactivated war trophy. | |||

You may be assuming that we have to register firearms in America. There are a few places that track you guns, but most don't, and don't care to either. If you are talking about making a gun so that its transfer is not subject to BATF rules, you'd have to check with them. RELOAD - ITS FUN! | |||

In the U.K the law permits former firearms to be owned following decommission, the term enacted into legislation is "Deactivated" Such a gun still needs a certificate however, but one confirming its being put beyond use "hors de combat" | |||

If it is a military firearm, especially full auto, they used to call them DEWATs for Deactivated War Trophy. Whether that term still applies, I don't know. Paul B. | |||

Here in the states - generally - most firearms do not have to be licensed. Some local jurisdictions have their own laws. We do have what's known as a Class-III license for certian firearms - particularly full autos. A major difference is that our firearm enforcement agency - BATFE, considers THE RECEIVER of any gun to be the regulated part. As such any receiver, even one with no other parts is handled as a firearm.... so, to answer your question, for a firearm to be deactivated in the states, the receiver must be cut with a flame (cutting torch) in order to be considered no longer servicable - i.e. deactivated.
