Pistols don't fall under regulation by the NFA of 1934 either.
NFA is for:
Machineguns
Destructive Devices (Mortars and other explosive-launching small arms, explosives, as well as firearms with over .50" bores)
Short barreled Shotguns
Short barreled rifles
Silencers
Any Other Weapons (AOWs)
The main way one might bring that pistol kit under purview of NFA would be to mount a vertical fore grip on it, making it into an AOW if it's under 26" of overall length.
If it is over 26" of overall length and mounting a VFG, my understanding is that it falls under the legal definition of a "Firearm", neither being a pistol, SBR, or AOW.
A pistol is designed to be held and fired with one hand per ATF definition, and under 26" of overall length, without a shoulder stock.
