South Africa's Firearms Control Act of 2000 mandates a unified national system for firearm licensing. The process involves obtaining a competency certificate, followed by a detailed application for each firearm, with background checks and interviews. License categories vary, with Section 13 for self-defense (one handgun/shotgun, 5-year validity) and Section 16 for dedicated sport shooters/hunters (multiple firearms, 10-year validity). Notably, suppressors are unregulated, and magazine capacity limits are absent.
