Old 1811, may I suggest that the name evokes memories of the giant portable sound systems carried by young men in many financially destitute neighborhoods during the latter decades of the previous century, which were used for impromptu entertainment and public statements of anti-authoritarian cultural power?
In other words, a M—–F—–G LOUD piece of equipment?
The name is so applicable it probably hurts to listen to the thing being used.
I have both fond and not-so-fond memories of the portable sound systems you’re referring to. I just think that calling a firearm, especially an NFA item, a Ghetto Blaster, is asking for trouble.
Funny, I manufactured a SBR in 2015 on a Form 1 (via the old Eforms site) wherein the model was “Ghetto Blaster”. I wonder if that’s where they got the idea.

“Ghetto Blaster”? That’s a name that’s asking for trouble, especially for an NFA item.
Remember the Street Sweeper?

A 7 inch 556 is incredibly loud. The concussion felt on your face from each shot is kind of entertaining though.
