Understanding NSW Firearms Categories – How AUMARK Supports Your Needs
Whether you're managing pest animals on rural land, overseeing wildlife in conservation areas, or operating commercial properties, knowing the right firearms category in New South Wales (NSW) is critical. At AUMARK, we specialise in professional shooting and wildlife management services, fully licensed and aligned with NSW firearms regulations.
We're not just operators—we're trusted advisors for councils, farmers, and property managers who need compliant and effective firearm solutions.
What Are the NSW Firearms Categories?
NSW law classifies firearms into several categories under the Firearms Act 1996, each with specific use permissions and licensing requirements. Here's a quick overview:
-
Category A – Includes rim fire rifles (not semi-automatic), air rifles, and shotguns (not pump-action or semi-automatic).
-
Category B – Includes centre fire rifles and shotguns with specific action types.
-
Category C – Includes self-loading rim fire rifles and shotguns (limited to primary producers and professional pest controllers).
-
Category D – Self-loading centrefire rifles and pump-action shotguns (restricted to government and professional pest controllers).
-
Category H – Handguns, primarily used for security and target shooting (rarely for pest control).
For landholders and professional operators, Category B, C, and D are typically most relevant when dealing with invasive animals like feral pigs, wild dogs, and goats.
