What type of ammunition is required for firearms regulated by BSIS?

The requirement for ammunition used in firearms regulated by BSIS is focused on safety and reliability, which is why commercially manufactured ammunition is specified. This type of ammunition is produced under controlled conditions and adheres to industry standards for quality and performance.

Using commercially manufactured ammunition ensures that the ammunition is designed to function properly with the firearm it is being used in, thus minimizing the risk of malfunctions or unsafe conditions during use. It also means that the ammunition has been tested for consistency and reliability, providing a level of assurance for the user regarding its performance and safety.

Moreover, using commercially manufactured ammunition helps in compliance with regulations, as it is typically easily traceable and regulated, ensuring accountability and safety in the handling and use of firearms. Homemade or modified ammunition, and reloaded ammunition, may not meet the same safety standards and can pose serious risks, which is why they do not fulfill the requirements set forth by the BSIS.
