You know who would defend those guys in court? No, not Matt Murdoch. No, not Jennifer Walter's. Marvel's other, other, OTHER lawyer superhero. The one who is an expert on gun based laws. I of course am referring to Cable.

What makes it funnier is that the Avenger (the white-faced guy) pulls this trick all the time in the pulps. The writer didn't want a Shadow or Spider-type character who just killed crooks left and right, so he's constantly knocking them out by carefully bouncing bullets off their skulls. I have no idea why he didn't just swipe the idea of "mercy bullets" from Doc Savage; it can't have been any less plausible.

That reminds me how in the current Deathstroke series, Slade has knock-out bullets that just happen spread a red liquid on impact.

Why wouldn't you take advantage of that idea to have some loving fun and make the "blood" different colors instead?

Superman #4 (1987) Jimmy will take pics of Superman even in his most intimate moments. Getting a little TMZ there, Jimmy.  Thor, I wanna say #353? The funny part is Beta Ray Bill with the ol' Groucho glasses and moustache but I also appreciate the art here with the lowercase letters and period used for "booom." to denote the sound of a distant explosion.

This is in fact what I was referring to. There's a high probability they go interstate, and that they can fabricate machine guns. How do you even define "single function of the trigger" when the 'trigger' is presumably a motor neuron impulse?

I'd imagine it would come down to that mechanism by which the firearm's function to propel its ammunition begins to operate, but statute probably reads differently.

I'd imagine it would come down to that mechanism by which the firearm's function to propel its ammunition begins to operate, but statute probably reads differently. 26 U.S.C. § 5845(b): For the purposes of the National Firearms Act the term Machine gun means: Any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger. So what counts as "the trigger" here? ATF has made it clear through regulation that any electonically-operated semi-automatic weapon is de facto a machine gun because it's trivial to rig up a pulse generator so that one function of the "trigger" produces an arbitrary string of projectiles. Does that apply to neurologically-triggered weapons, too? These are the things that keep me awake at night.

Bushwacker's cybernetic so his gun hands would definitely be counted as machine guns. That might not be true for other gun hand people, of course.
