ANY firearm which is less than 762mm will be classified as a pistol. The length of any firearm is measured without any “attachments” (whether or not “permanently” attached (e.g. welding, pinned)), such as flash-hiders, silencers, muzzle brakes, barrel extensions or magazine extensions. In the case of rifled firearms (such as rifles and Pistols), barrel length will be determined by measuring the length of the barrel rifling.”.

Well there's the answer. And Colfo.org.nz must have got that info from the legislation....even if we can't find said legislation.

Thanks for that @Nugget connaisseur ... for a moment there I was thinking I had a really compact and silent bunny buster in the making.
