  • The German Weapons Act is a gun regulation law enacted in Germany in 1972. It includes, and modifies, previous gun regulation laws. It regulates the handling of thrustings, firearms and ammunition as well as acquisition, storage, commerce and maintenance of weapons. It also defines certain forbidden items such as Nunchakus, Switchblades and Brass knuckles and bans their possession, bringing into circulation etc. In comparison, the German Weapons Law is one of the tightest in Europe. The last amendment became effective on April 1, 2008. The intention of that amendment was to ban certain kinds of weapons like airsoft-guns, tasers, so-called Anscheinswaffen (dummy-guns) and thrustings with blades longer than 12 cm from public. They may still be carried in sealed wrappings and for professional or ceremonial purposes. Their use on private premises and in non-public places like gunclubs is not restricted.
