of ammunition means a projectile, cartridge casing or primer designed or adapted for use in ammunition.
deactivated firearm means an article that:
 (a) was in a condition in which it could discharge shot, bullets or other projectiles by means of an explosive charge or a compressed gas; and
 (b) has been rendered incapable of discharging shot, bullets or other projectiles by means of an explosive charge or a compressed gas; and
 (c) cannot be returned to a condition in which it could discharge shot, bullets or other projectiles by means of an explosive charge or a compressed gas; and
 (d) still has the appearance of a firearm, and could reasonably be taken to be a firearm.
Note: A firearm can be deactivated to the extent that it is incapable of being returned to its original firing condition, while keeping the appearance of a firearm.
 For the article to be incapable of being returned to its original firing condition, all major parts of the article must be destroyed, permanently incapacitated or permanently immobilised. This includes (but is not limited to) the bolt, barrel, gas system, receiver, trigger, sear or hammer, feed pawls and actuating arm or arms. This can be done:
(a) by fusion welding, which is welding material into the barrel, and welding of all the major parts of the firearm, in a way that cannot be reversed; or
(b) by sectioning, which is the machining or milling of all the major parts of the firearm in a way that cannot be reversed, exposing the internal mechanism; or
(c) another method of treating the major parts that ensures that the parts are deactivated to the extent that the firearm is incapable of being returned to its original firing condition.
detachable stock means a stock that:
 (a) is easily removable from a firearm without the use of a tool; and
 (b) does not make the firearm dangerous to operate or unreasonable to fire when removed.
electro‑shock cartridge means ammunition, discharged from a firearm, that is designed or adapted to deliver an electric shock or charge on impact.
firearm:
 (a) means a device designed or adapted to discharge shot, bullets or other projectiles by means of an explosive charge or a compressed gas, whether that device is fitted with a magazine or other feeding device designed to be used with it or not; and
 (b) includes the following devices:
 (i) a deactivated firearm;
 (ii) a blank‑fire firearm;
 (iii) any flare gun or signalling device, except a flare gun or signalling device mentioned in subparagraph (c)(iii); and
 (c) does not include the following devices:
 (i) a nailing or stapling gun;
 (ii) an explosive‑powered fixing tool;
 (iii) a flare gun or other signalling device,
