How do collectors licences work over there these days?
Can you use collector-licenced firearms?
Do they have to be deactivated at all?
The Uzi, Thompson and I think the Sten are available as closed-bolt semis, are you allowed to own those in NZ? I'm sure somebody must do semi conversions of the MG42 as well.
In the US some states allow converting Stens to semi but I can't recall ever seeing a semi-auto version manufactured for sale.

Collectors licence in NZ allows fully functioning automatics.

this. they are fully functioning fully automatic. your allowed the ammo as well but not allowed to fire it. this guys got Vickers and all kinds of cool stuff. I must admit the mg42 had a strange evil presence about it.

But you can never actually fire them?

Blanks? Blank ammo is not shooting, it's just making noise, especially in semis that won't even function with blanks. The last army open-day I went to they had a long queue to "shoot the F88". Sounded awesome until I saw they were blanks, no thanks!
We can have blackpowder cannons here in Victoria as well, CatB, so we can take them out shooting whenever we want, if we have enough powder. Can't fire explosive shells though.

Except for that little bit in legislation that specifially bans us from using BP cannons for hunting. Would love to know how they came up with that,

Probably comes down to lack of accuracy

It is ridiculous to be told how to store your own property.
What's that new law in Victoria where you can't even store non firearm related items in the safe? Imagine getting told you cant store your golf clubs with cricket bats. Any other sub group and it would be called discrimination but molestation against legal firearms and it is all good.

I remember pre ‘96 lots of people kept guns in the back of their wardrobes. And lots of guns got stolen too.
Even if keeping my firearms in a safe wasn’t a requirement, I would lock them up anyway, as it’s just common sense against theft. Even more so if they were really collectable or valuable
