The proposed amendment left expanding 'designed to be used with a pistol' as S.5, which accords with the EU Weapons Directive. Not sure how that leaves certain carbine cartridges?
Insert the following new Clause—
“Controls on ammunition which expands on impact
(1) The Firearms Act 1968 is amended in accordance with subsections (2) and (3).
(2) In section 5 (weapons subject to general prohibition), in subsection (1A), for
paragraph (f) substitute—
“(f) any ammunition which is designed to be used with a pistol and
incorporates a missile designed or adapted to expand on
impact;”.
(3) In section 5A (exemptions from requirement of authority under section 5), in
subsection (8)(a), after “which”, in the first place it occurs, insert “is designed to
be used with a pistol and”.
(4) In consequence of the amendment made by subsection (2), omit section 9 of the
Firearms (Amendment) Act 1997.”
