NZ Firearms Licence Test 2026

You get a first firearms licence in New Zealand by passing the safety course and its theory test, then sitting a vetting interview. NZ Firearms Licence Test prepares you for all three: the study material, every question with the correct answer, the handbook, the tests and spoken practice, in one app. The illustrations are drawn in full colour, from secure storage and firearm parts to ammunition and first aid. Answers follow the Firearms Safety Code, the Arms Act and the Arms Regulations. Who the app is for For anyone sitting the firearms safety course and its theory test. And for anyone who just wants to learn something new about safe handling, firearms and shooting. Quick test Random questions from across the topics, for the five minutes you have in the ute. Timed mock test Thirty questions in thirty minutes, the same shape as the real theory test. For the night before the course. Handbook and guides All the material for the six topics, with the seven basic rules printed word for word, and the licence path step by step: booking the course, what to bring on the day, what vetting asks, and what your licence lets you do. Reading without being tested, in eight chapters. Practice one topic You pick one of the six topics and drill it until it sticks. Practice your mistakes The app remembers what you did not know and repeats it for you. You study what you are weak at. Question of the day One question for every day. Short regular revision, so it stays in your head. Spoken practice Each run draws prompts with model answers, including stating the seven rules from memory. Say the answer out loud, then compare it with the model one. The vetting officer will ask, and people who can answer on paper still stumble out loud. Statistics You see how you stand in each topic and where the work still needs to go. On every question The correct answer, an explanation in plain English, and the section or rule it came from, so you can check it at the source. No trick wording. Topics A: the seven basic rules B: licensing, endorsements and vetting C: secure storage and transport D: firearms, ammunition and firearm states E: identify your target beyond all doubt F: the registry, the law and first aid Target identification is the heaviest topic on purpose. It is the mistake that kills people and the one the course cares about most. NZ Firearms Licence Test Carries practice questions written from the official Firearms Safety Code, a free PDF from New Zealand's firearms regulator, Firearms Safety and Education New Zealand, called Te Tari Pureke, the Firearms Safety Authority, until 23 September 2026. The Arms Act 2026 commences in stages, most of it on 23 September 2026, with further parts in July 2027 and February 2028. The handbook carries a chapter on what changes and when, so nothing here quietly goes out of date. Free and full version Some of the questions in the first three topics are free, with the quick test drawn from that set, mistake practice and the question of the day. One payment opens the whole question bank, the remaining topics, the timed mock test and the full spoken practice run. No subscription, you pay once.
