So, what can be held on a firearm certificate?

Well, if you take away Section 2 shotguns, which are held on a shotgun certificate, and also eliminate prohibited weapons, you can have any other weapon you want. Provided you can supply a "good reason".
Most applicants require small or full bore rifles for target shooting, as a member of a Home Office approved club. Others request muzzle-loading hand guns for the same reason. Others still, use rifles for vermin control or deer stalking. Provided good reason is satisfied, all these weapons can be legally held on a firearm certificate.
