I have often wondered that as well. How much more effort would it take them to say;
It is unlawful to use a rifle or shotgun slug for mig game birds
As opposed to, it is unlawful to use a gun with a single bullet.
One opens up the door for guns with magazines, the other is pretty clear.
There are numerous examples of this in many different regulations and a lot of times, it is in regards to things that are slight nuances between differrent provinces. I remember having confusion on clothing and whether I could shoot upland game birds with a .22 when I moved to Alberta. Since then, I make a habit of verifiing things in the Wildlife Act when I have questions.

You can also fiind the Agricultural pests act there. All good reading and sometimes valuable information to have at your finger tips. Especially the parts about transporting firearms. It is amazing how many people think a gun rack in your back window is illegal.
