What the source says
Any other weapon. Any weapon or device capable of being concealed on the person from which a shot can be discharged through the energy of an explosive, a pistol or revolver having a barrel with a smooth bore designed or redesigned to fire a fixed shotgun shell, weapons with combination shotgun and rifle barrels 12 inches or more, less than 18 inches in length, from which only a single discharge can be made from either barrel without manual reloading, and shall include any such weapon which may be readily restored to fire.

What govinfo.gov says
The existing section currently mirrors the pre-OBBBA statutory language of a transfer tax ``at the rate of $200 for each firearm transferred, except that the transfer tax on any firearm classified as `any other weapon' shall be at the rate of $5'' and requires that the transferor pay the transfer tax. This rule amends Sec. 479.82 to reflect the new tax rate of $0 for transferring any NFA firearms except machine guns and destructive devices.
