Bureau of Alcohol, Drugs, Tobacco, Firearms, and Lasers

The Bureau of Alcohol, Drugs, Tobacco, Firearms and Lasers was a specialized federal law enforcement and regulatory organization in the United States before the Great War. Among other things, BADTFL offices were responsible for issuing of special permit for Combat Armors civilian use, because this kind of equipment was designated for military and police use. It also issued firearms licenses and conducts firearms licensee qualification and compliance inspections.

In the 21st century, 10mm was the standard ammo caliber of the BADTFL, used in the 10mm Pistols and 10mm SMGs, while the military was into energy weapons at that time.
