I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this one, but a friend was shown one and told that it was illegal - that it was equivalent to a sawn-off shotgun.

My question was largely conversational. If I, or my friend, were planning on buying the gun, I *would* seek competent legal opinion, and not just review the legislation (law and legislation are sometimes miles apart).
