I have a rifle being built by suppressed weapons systems and would like to use it in Zim. I have read that suppressors are not allowed in Zim but does anyone know if that includes internal suppressed since it is the barrel?

Think of the trip report you could write! [emoji41]
 
Here in Texas I would try and fight the wording, "(e) any silencing device for a firearm.". Since its a barrel with holes and not a device. But being on a trip for a leopard, the last thing I want is trying to hunt with a stick or being held up.
 
...There are jails, then there are prisons, then there is Chikurubi in Zim.
