Article 88. Prohibitions for Armouries

Armouries are not authorised to sell firearms and/or ammunition, or to reload ammunition. They are also not allowed to modify firearms to convert them into automatic weapons, nor manufacture or repair noise reducers, suppressors or silencers. They are also prohibited from repairing or servicing firearms that are not covered by a possession licence or carrying licence issued by DIGECAM.

Also, keeping gunpowder or explosives in storage is prohibited; ammunition and fuses may only be kept for the relevant functioning tests.
