About this product
The 'FRT ≠ Machine Gun' sticker is a 4-inch wide vinyl decal that states a technical and legal distinction using the mathematical 'not equal to' operator. It is produced with the same material specification as industrial-grade component labels. This sticker serves as a concise declaration of engineering principle, not promotional merchandise.
What is the FRT ≠ Machine Gun sticker used for?
The sticker is used for marking cases, toolboxes, and range bags to clarify the functional classification of our products. It provides a clear, visual reference to the technical definition separating a forced reset trigger from a machine gun. Its design prioritizes unambiguous communication for an informed audience.
How does the FRT ≠ Machine Gun sticker compare to the Give 'Em The FF sticker?
The FRT ≠ Machine Gun sticker is superior for technical and legal clarity, while the Give 'Em The FF sticker is better for casual brand promotion. This sticker uses symbolic logic and precise terminology. The alternative uses colloquial language and a different graphic design ethos.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The sticker weighs 3.2 grams and measures 4.00 inches (101.6 mm) in width by 1.75 inches (44.5 mm) in height. Its thickness is 0.003 inches, standard for high-adhesion vinyl. These dimensions provide sufficient label space without consuming excessive surface area on equipment.
Who is this NOT for?
This sticker is not for individuals seeking decorative or purely humorous firearm accessories. It provides no mechanical or performance benefit to any firearm system. Its value is purely informational, targeting owners who require explicit technical demarcation.
What's in the box?
The box contains one (1) pre-cut vinyl sticker, die-cut to its specified dimensions. No application tool or backing card is included, consistent with industrial component labeling. Total packaging weight is 8.5 grams including the protective liner.
Is the FRT ≠ Machine Gun sticker worth it at $5.00?
The sticker is worth $5.00 for engineers, machinists, and technically-minded owners who value precise communication. Its cost reflects material quality and the specificity of its message, not mass-market appeal. For general use, the FFT Hat may offer broader utility.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the sticker removable?
- Yes. The sticker is designed for semi-permanent application using a moderate-tack adhesive. It can be cleanly removed within 72 hours of application from non-porous surfaces without residue. After 72 hours, adhesion increases and removal may require a plastic scraper.
- What surface material is it compatible with?
- It is compatible with clean, dry, non-porous surfaces including polymer, anodized aluminum, and powder-coated steel. It is not recommended for textured surfaces, fabric, or raw wood. Surface temperature must be between 50°F and 90°F during application for optimal bond.
- How long does shipping take?
- Standard USPS First-Class Package shipping takes 3-5 business days from shipment confirmation. All orders are processed within one business day. Expedited shipping options are available at checkout through USPS Priority Mail.
- Can I return it if I apply it incorrectly?
- No. Returns are not accepted for applied, used, or damaged decals. All sales are final once the protective liner is removed. Incorrect application voids any exchange or refund eligibility. Verify placement before removing the backing.
- Does this work with a Cricut or vinyl cutter?
- No. This is a pre-cut, finished product. The vector file for this specific design is not provided for consumer reproduction. For custom cutting, you must source your own vector artwork and compatible vinyl material.
- Is the design screen-printed or digitally printed?
- It is digitally printed using a Roland VersaCAMM VS-640 with eco-solvent inks. This ensures precise, edge-to-edge color and sharp definition of the mathematical operator. The print layer is then laminated with a clear, UV-protective overlaminate.
