It’s a very good looking gun of Italian design. It’s appeal is in large part it’s appearance.. it’s not the first or only m4 clone.
It’s a very popular design as accounted for in sales. People by majority really like the look of it.
NSW has no taste.
Bunch of uncultured bogans with no class.

That's got to be the ugliest looking shotgun I've ever seen, it'll probably be a handy ugly stick thought. Obviously it's offended some high ranking public servant.
I'm sure these military appearance laws are saving lives in an alternative dimension somewhere

Its Black, I dont think the similarity is there, ruling should be over turned hopefully.

Well least you won't be mistaken by some old farmer for viet cong I guess.

Sorry that's my best guess

Eye of the beholder. I don't find it hard on the eyes.
Maybe if they added some engraving it would pass

Just shows how dumb the police are.

The Benelli M4 is to my knowledge not used by any military around the world. The American marines do however use the M1014 which is a military variant.

I do believe if someone challenges this they will win.

The m4 is used by heaps of combat forces around the world..
Possibly because it’s a military shotgun that was designed for the military. It dose’nt jam, ever.

It’s a worrying ruling tbh because there’s heaps of straight pulls and button lever thingy release shotguns that could be classed the same. Appearance wise to a novice or Joe Public . Any shotgun with a pistol grip bears similarly .
It’s just a dumb law and that’s the problem.
None of these guns function like military weapons. And for hunting or clays or whatever legitimate purpose, moving targets they’re inferior to any double shotgun or over under.
So it’s difficult to argue they’re more dangerous or more deadly or some crap than a more traditional looking sporting field shotgun.
But NSW so yep. It’s just a dumb place generally. Something in the water reserves maybe. But you can’t fix stupid.
Pretty much all their firearms legislation reads like it was written by the work experience kid. They just make s**t up or copy paste from other legislation and change a few words to say firearms. Some of its just nonsensical.
Searching for reasoning when they enact something new is pointless because they never had any , just someone was having a bad day.

Its ugly but I didn't think it was THAT ugly

That stock look like it was made from leftovers when a man with a prosthetic leg died

Is anyone surprised? NSW would give you life in prison if you spray painted your nerf gun black lmao.

Nerf guns have to be registered in South Australia now

It’s true, because some of the ones that fire foam darts can be modified to fire jelly balls .

I’m not joking

[womble]

I just desperately want a special taskforce armed with nerf guns and jelly blasters , like a specialised team that gets called in to raid the homes of kids with unregistered nerf guns. Like in the middle of the night they arrive in a noddy car or something and try and break down the door with a pool noodle.
