Yes, it's meant to be a fixed magazine. No, a tool does not need to be used to disassemble it. That means that even if all the rounds fall out and the magazine disassembles itself on takedown, BATF claims it is a detachable magazine under the 1994 Omnibus crime act.
This was intended to answer Destruco6's question on FN49 legality in the locked thread.
