In the United States and many other jurisdictions, owning military mortar weapon systems is strictly regulated under federal laws such as the National Firearms Act. Functional military mortars and live explosive high-explosive rounds are classified as destructive devices, making them illegal for private civilian ownership without specialized federal licensing, extensive background checks, and costly tax stamps. However, civilian hobbyists can legally own and operate fireworks display mortar tubes or theatrical special effects launchers under strict local permit regulations, provided they fire only approved commercial aerial fireworks and comply fully with all state and municipal safety codes regarding pyrotechnics.
