Default Antique in South Africa

It is classified as a firearm loaded from the front, manufactured before 1 January 1900, or a replica of such firearm. NO LICENCE REQUIRED! (Only a permit to posess the powder)
The past few days I had the opportunity to join a hunting party. Amongst them were two hunters who shot with these replicas. They were successful, and shot 4 animals with 4 shots. It puts down a blue wildebeest without any trouble.
I took a shot with a .5" on the shooting range. Nice kick! The additional benefit is the smokescreen after the shot to get away in the case of the animal charging!
