In all the time I was at Auckland I never heard once of firearms being found at AvSec. I wonder, then, if these were BB/airsoft guns that have been seized, since under the Arms Act they're treated as firearms as far as misuse goes.

I bet you the firearms seazed were people trying to import without enough paperwork to keep customs at bay or they didn't have their c or e cat endorsements altho i would lean towards not enough paperwork as i'm in the situation of trying to import some things myself

In regards to the firearms I would say the following from the article is a key segment, also regards to the number of explosives:
