What gun laws do you have in the uk?

Some of the strictest on the planet. Honestly they're so convoluted that even our Police don't understand them! As it's shotguns in question I'll try to outline a few of the laws...

1: You need to hold a shotgun licence (maximum capacity of three shots) or a firearms licence (unlimited).

2: Minimum barrel length is 24".

3: Minimum overall gun length (including the stock at it's shortest setting) is 40".

4: Full auto is banned.

5: On a shotgun licence, cartridges must contain a minimum of 6 pieces of shot, which I think is 00 Buck. SOlid slug can only be used on a firearms licence, and only on home office cleared ranges (of which there are only 5 in the UK).

There are more, lots more, but I don't want to hijack someone's deviation to list them all. Google might be your friend if you want to know more.
