Both Percussion Caps and Primers for cartridges are 'hi-tech' manufactured items that can be "controlled" by any authority seeking to limit access / availability.
Even presuming good will from good government ... A nation such as New Zealand that chooses NOT to manufacture many modern items, will need to pay the raised price for IMPORTING - wharehousing and marketing ..
A notorious political assassination in Japan serves to illustrate than even in a repressed land - a determined killer managed to make his own gun and propellants .. plus an electronic ignition system .. link:I understand the ignition system there involved using battery voltage to make steel-wool incandesce.
- This video shows an exploration of possible home assembled e-tech igniters for propellants ..
My current thoughts are that a fully 'HOME-MADE' repeat-use unit constructed from domestic resources might be assembled using "ferro-rods" or even parts from Bic lighters in a flintlock - wheel-lock type heat machine.
