In addition to its military role, it is increasingly used by long-range civilian hunters and shooters. The .338 Lapua Magnum is capable of defeating any big game, although its ability to dangerous game (Cape buffalo, hippopotamus, white rhino and elephant) is controversial, unless it comes with a larger `save` caliber: “There`s a big difference between calibers that kill an elephant and those you can rely on to stop.” [7] In Namibia, the .338 Lapua Magnum is legal for hunting big game of the Big Five of Africa if the loads have at least 5,400 J (3,983 ft⋅lbf) of estuary energy. [8] Illegal arms dealer charged, hundreds of weapons seized On July 1 of this year, three licensed gunmen were arrested on private property near Logan, Queensland, when a nearby resident called police after hearing gunshots. This was a totally overreaction, as the people involved had legally fired registered firearms on private property. They have not been charged with any crime. In situations where licensed shooters want to shoot smaller rural plots, the use of a gun suppressor could significantly reduce the risk of unnecessary complaints due to noise pollution.

Mexican cartels infiltrate Australia with illegal weapons, drugs Whatever laws and restrictions are implemented, it is impossible to completely eliminate gun violence in the community. This fact was actually supported by former Prime Minister John Howard in 1996, who said: “Now I am not pretending for a moment, ladies and gentlemen, that the decision we have taken will ensure that there will be no more mass murders in the future. I`m not pretending for a moment. Therefore, the fear of members of the legal gun community is what we have seen before, that is, continuous restrictions year after year in the name of eliminating gun violence. As the statistics prove, even with the strictest restrictions for licensed gun owners, it is impossible to achieve this.
The NFA`s restrictions only target licensed firearms owners and have no impact on criminals.

Removal of the mandatory shooting range presence requirement for category H for sport/target shooting. Currently, the NFA requires sport pistol shooters to participate in at least 6 competitions per year in order to maintain a pistol license. If a licensee visits a pistol zone twice a year or several times a year, it makes absolutely no difference to public safety. If they are licensed, why should a pistol shooter proven to comply with the law be required to participate in a minimum number of pistol competitions? How does this improve public safety? What is the difference between mandatory competition requirements and the criminal use of pistols? A licensee should be free to participate in the sport he or she has legally chosen without discrimination if he or she cannot meet the criteria prescribed by the government.

And this from a good 800 to 1,000 meters. In search of a miracle solution: how Melbourne became a city of weapons (3) The loaded .338 cartridge has a diameter of 14.93 mm (0.588 inch) (edge) and a length of 93.5 mm (3.68 inches). It can penetrate better than standard military bulletproof vests at distances of up to 1,000 meters (1,090 yd) and has a maximum effective range of about 1,750 meters (1,910 yd) with I.C.P. compliant ammunition under sea level conditions. The muzzle velocity depends on gun length, seat depth and powder charge, and ranges from 880 to 915 m/s (2,890 to 3,000 ft/s) for commercial loads with 16.2 grams (250 gr) of projectiles, which is equivalent to approximately 6,525 J (4,813 ft ⋅ lbf) of muzzle energy. Gun ban increases gun crime `Red Herring Argument` Australia is one of the world`s largest arms importers, exporters The American SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers` Institute) does not have normal voluntary guidelines for the .338 Lapua Magnum.

Australia destroyed, then one million weapons re-imported [ES] Australia is the world`s sixth-largest importer of firearms Australia`s former trade minister proposes arms tax on the US Another misleading statement is that the takeover has reduced gun suicides by 74% and saved 200 lives a year, according to a study published in The American Law and Economics Review. Interestingly, ABS statistics show that the overall suicide rate in Australia actually increased during this period, confirming the fact that the NFA did nothing to reduce overall suicide rates. It also supports the fact that suicide cannot be prevented simply by banning firearms.

Since 1996, licensed and law-abiding shooters have been subject to caliber restrictions, magazine restrictions, prohibitions on the aesthetic appearance of firearms, and stricter regulations for applying for licenses and APTs, and now we are subject to even more restrictions targeting any non-semi-automatic firearm that conforms to the new fashionable word “rapid-fire weapon.” This new “buzzword” used by Gun Control Australia (GCA) and the GA Department aims to lay the groundwork for future disarmament by bureaucrats who have no experience or qualification in the use of firearms. The dictionary`s meaning of “disarming” is quite clearly “taking guns from someone or something,” and that`s exactly what Australian shooters are subject to with these proposals, which are in direct contradiction to the NFA`s goal.
