All weapons must be stored in secure cabinets approved by the police. Applications for fully automatic weapons or one -handed weapons are only granted for exceptional reasons, and such permits are generally time-limited. Permits are revoked if the weapon is modified to be substantially different from its original function. ___ Dazio reported from Berlin .
