Re: 300 m range in Germany
Surgeon,
no military semis made after 1942, to be held by civlians,
all semis that are intended for hunting, made for the civilian marked are ok.
Limit of six pieces for hunting, extensive target shooting permits are possible though,
we shoot BR, fieldshooting, all the shotgun comps and some that you dont even have.
Blackpowder allowed and licensefree if made prior to 1890 I belive, no hunting.
No hunting with handguns, handguns allowed and we shoot all different comps you have IPSC, PPP, field and precion.
all handguns are licensed at limited to 5 years and then up for renewal.
Bowhunting is about to be made legal, no crossbows allowed.
All firearms has to be locked up in approved gun cabinet,
there are limits to amounts of ammo/powder/primer held at home, fire prevention regulations.
So in short things are ok but not great, oh yes moderators/ the thing you guys calls silencers are under license but that is not really a hassle anymore.
We have a huge and cheap 2:hand gun market that you, americans profit on, arms dealers here buy Mauser 98/96 at 20 USD and sell them for 100 USD to the states, resale in the US is about 160 USD or 8 times the price here.
