What do you need to get bb gun lic in ny?
I recently wrote to a friend who works in Law enforcement in NY City here is his answer about air gun laws in NY.
1) They are prohibited in NY City (Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Manhattan, etc..) unless you have secured a license from the Police Commissioner.
2) In the rest of the State, they are prohibited by anyone under the age of 16 AND they are prohibited on school grounds UNLESS "permission has been granted by the educational facility for use on their property yada yada yada....."

The .50 caliber rifle has been banned from the battlefields as one shot could take a head clean off
In the USA gun laws can vary from State to State so the list of legal/illegal guns may change from one area to the next
Note: The use of 50 caliber sniper rifles and 50 caliber machine guns have not been banned on the battlefields, they have been in use for decades and are currently still in use in today's armed forces. The military currently uses millimeters as per the metric system to describe the size of the rounds used in its' weapons rather than the term Caliber which was based on 1 inch measurement..
So A 7.62mm round as used in the M16 is a .30 caliber round and A 12.7mm is a .50 caliber round such as is used in the M2HB machine gun as is being used in Iraq/Afghanistan today by US armed forces..

Define "suppressor." If it any way silences or muffles the report of the weapon when it fires, it is unlawful to own one without a permit.

Yes, silencers are legal in Florida, The National Firearms Act (not the federal firearms act) restricts transfer, ownership, and use, but does not prohibit it. I own silencers legally in Florida as do thousands of other Florida Residents.

Not only can it do so, but it will. Felonies are not like traffic tickets - they don't go away after a certain period of time. A convicted felon is prohibited from purchasing, possessing, or having access to firearms. That's federal law, and it does not vary from state to state.
