he mentions in one Video he fired a Thompson off the back of a boat. Video ended on the internet.
He got a stern warning from the AO and cant remember if a fine etc was involved.
Arms Act 1983 No 44 (as at 01 October 2018), Public Act Contents – New Zealand Legislation
Nothing specific listed there
Arms Regulations 1992 (SR 1992/346) (as at 01 July 2017) Contents – New Zealand Legislation
or there.

My personal opinion is that its not worth the risk for a little bit of fun. FAL holders are under more scrutiny than ever before. I could very quickly see someone being made an example of. Losing my FAL wouldnt be nice at all.

Now would love to be able to have a blast with some C cat stuff. Dam right i would. But i dont see leglislation changing anytime soon. Even to the likes of pistols at approved ranges is unlikely.

You can't have looked very hard if you didn't find it.

Hint: the punishment is up to four years in jail and or a $5000 fine.
