    Link to the legislation re what a 'Specially Dangerous Airgun' is.

    A Specially Dangerous Airgun is considered a firearm under NZ Legislation.
    I think the intention is to treat them as a firearm rather than call them a firearm. By definition they are not a firearm, but being specified as a Specially Dangerous Airgun means they are treated as such....

    I would point out that the error here is that the "Specially' should be 'Especially'. It does not change the intent or use of the law but it would be nice if legislators could get basic grammar and spelling correct...otherwise it would of bin in vain....sorry Would HAVE BEEN

    There is a subtle difference between the two that is missed by most...
