Thread: Exactly how illegal is it to shoot C-Cat guns?

As for the OP, fair play it has caused banter. However there are no shades of legality. It is either one or the other. On another note when you are reloading drums/belts etc it gets pretty fucken boring fast.

I've never seen so many shades of legality in NZ law unfortunately. I've also never ever seen a bored person load a belt bored, except in rear echelon or just kicking the shit. Loading a belt in my experience was a dire necessity and was not accounted for, as in an unexpected fire fight.

I have fired full auto for the government and I could hit a man sized target at 100m several times in a short burst, but I was probably the only one who could hit it with more than the first shot. But then, my outfit were hardly combat hardened. They taught us the first response to anything was a full mag on full auto. I privately decided I would have no use for full auto for anything other than such a response, or what is called suppressing fire, or exploratory fire. But then for house clearing and suchlike, I would want a PPSH. And grenades. Or better yet, a full and accommodating peace agreement.

My point was more about it being illegal to own and or operate a firearm that requires such. It is simply illegal, there is no kind of legal situation whereby you can fire a fully auto weapon as a civilian.
The loading comment was more around training although multiple jams due to someone not really caring is pretty shit
