You will never find a cogent, logic based ruling by ATF on most things. ATF made these regulatins up a they went along to rule on specific instances and to conrol certan behavior. There are bizarre instances like the MP5, where a bent piece of steel with a number on it is the legal "Machinegun". In others, such as the AR15s and AKs, a hole in the side or through the receiver determines if they have been "converted" to a machiegun.
