You are going to have to cite that.
"Destructive devices" start at over .5" bore and M2s are listed in the
machine gun registry.
I know someone here in Ft Myers who has one and there was one for sale
on subguns.com last year. (actually a nice piece, the "Pearl Harbor"
movie water cooled model)

I understand you have to get a Federal Destructive Weapons Permit for any
fully auto gun. They are considered Title II weapons, along with silencers,
Short Barrel shotguns.
