See this example, this is the most common config:
How well does that side charging upper work? Is it reliable?

Just curious

Really really well- extraction is very smooth, I've never had any issues at all with mine.

Is that a 30 round PMAG? Basically you've got a bolt action AR with a 30 round mag. Nice. What about shotguns? Can you have a pump with say 5 slugs?

Can you have them at your house or do you have to leave it at a club?

No restriction on mag size/number.

Shotguns are subject to lesser levels of control as long as they are limited to holding 2 rounds, above that they are treated the same as firearms.

Just can't use for self-defense. Now, lie down like a lamb and be a good little victim. :x

What would happen if you did use it to defend yourself?

Heh. :lol:

The law does allow self defence using an appropriate level of force, including lethal force, but it's a grey area to be sure as the guns have to be kept in a secure cabinet, so you'd have to explain to the po-po how you had time to get them out etc...

It's a very different gun ownership situation to the US, that's for sure :|
