Overview

New Zealand Police are responsible for the regulation of the Arms Act, as such a key requirement is: “providing for applicants for firearms licences to pass theoretical and practical tests as to their ability to handle firearms safely or to undergo courses of training designed to teach them to handle firearms safely” (Section 74 Arms Act 1983).

New Zealand Police manage a nationwide training program titled the Firearms Safety Course which all applicants for a firearms licence must attend.

New Zealand Police are currently seeking a replacement for the current training bolt action rifles which have reached the end of their service life. The replacement rifles will need to be well manufactured to a high quality standard, capable of a high volume of regular handling as a training firearm where the action and magazine will be operated thousands of times per year, they are to be deactivated so they are incapable of discharging a live cartridge of any type, however the deactivation must allow the firearm to operate correctly with the specified inert drill cartridges. The deactivation is to be obvious to anyone that the firearm has been disabled.
