SOURCE & TRANSPARENCY
The study material uses a publicly published catalogue for the German firearms knowledge exam under Section 7 WaffG, dated 16 December 2024. Where publicly published questions, answer options and model answers are used, they are reproduced unchanged. Explanations, glossary, audio, images and additional study aids are our own editorial content. The catalogue/legal status is visible in the app.
