    Default Liscence catagory - weapn classification

    How are carbines like the CX4 classified for liscencing. Pistol calibre. Rifle size. Can these be liscenced for SD or are they restricted weapons?

    They fall under the "hand machine carbine" designation that doesn't really exist.
    But for licencing purposes, the same as an Uzi, LM5 or other semi auto rifle....in other words extremely difficult for a non-sportsman or collector to possess.

    Both.

    Restricted arms can be licenced for self defence. Tricky though.

    Thanks guys...busy with an app for mini 14 at the moment - for 3 gun shoots. Been looking up a bit about the cx4 storm. I live on a farm, but not in a high crime area so was hoping I could get a liscence for one for SD and would get rid of my hand gun. If same classification as semi-auto rifle as far as CFR is concerned. I dont think it would happen for me! :(

    JMO but no way I swap a SD license for a handgun for one for a rifle. The rifle, no doubt, is the superior weapon, but you can't have it on your person all the time. I would get the sporting license for the rifle and keep a good handgun on the SD license.

    Must agree with the Big Dog. Keep the handgun gives far more verstality. Rifles are great but you can't shove one on your belt if going somewhere.
