This is not true., I am registered as a collector not a re-enactor and don't use my Artillery for any other purpose than static display and private exhibition .
I have a self stated condition on my licence that my Artillery will NOT be fired and it made no difference what so ever to my application.
However as mentioned before and well known amongst live weapon collectors each firearm licencing department interprets legislation differently ,Hampshire being one ,never the less a Section one FA Licence and a powder/ammunition licence are two completely different entities and granted at their own regulations.
