part of the firearms order, look at the bottom, article 7 that
ive highlighted which relates to article g (first lump of
highlighted text) seems they are illegal unless you have the
express consent of the secretary of state (NOT head of the
psni), though the wording is clear as mud :-\

They are not permitted for civilian use. Ring round a few
