Thread: HDPA does indeed lie about firearms

One thing I've always wondered, for my owm amusement, is how "personal" is a Police man's rifle? As in, is a New Zealand Police officer "issued" a rifle that becomes their responsibility, or are they drawn from a collective pool when required? Do individual officers sight in their rifle or is it done by an armourer? Is an officer allowed to disassemble a rifle for maintance or remedial of a serious malfunction or is it sent to an armourer? I presume that being armed with a pistol, they would be taught to pitch the rifle in the event of something like a bolt over ride or a blown primer locking the gun up.
