c. Weapons using non-centre fire cased ammunition and which are not of the fully automatic firing type;
d. 'Deactivated firearms'.
Technical Note
For the purposes of ML1. Note d., a 'deactivated firearm' is a firearm that has been made incapable of firing any projectile by processes defined by the Wassenaar Arrangement Participating State's national authority. These processes irreversibly modify the essential elements of the firearm. According to national laws and regulations, deactivation of the firearm may be attested by a certificate delivered by a competent authority and may be marked on the firearm by a stamp on an essential part.
a. Rifles and combination guns, handguns, machine, sub-machine and volley guns;
Note ML1.a. does not apply to the following:
a. Rifles and combination guns, manufactured earlier than 1938;
