A discipline for your gun type in an approved set of sport regulations does not yet mean you have a recognized need. An association your club belongs to must certify, under its sport regulations, that the gun is approved for a discipline and required for it; on top of that come twelve months of sport shooting in a club, the shooting activity record, acquisition spacing, the quota and the minimum age. The association certifies, the authority decides. The wording of the regulations governs.

Nor does a discipline mean the gun is permitted for sport shooting: § 6 AWaffV excludes handguns with a barrel shorter than 7.62 cm, certain semi-automatic firearms that look like a fully automatic weapon of war, and semi-automatic long guns with a magazine holding more than ten rounds. Only the Federal Office of Administration can grant exceptions, on application by a recognized association; the fact that a set of sport regulations provides for a discipline is not such an exception.
