Except you couldn't.

tl;dr: - justification for a need of ownership (negligible hurdle)
- psychological exam*
- some kind of training (lol)
*[unless you have a hunters' license; which is a 2 1/2 months/80hrs course @1500€]
Not exactly "walking in and walking out again"
Also, what the fuck do you need a gun for if you explicitly state you're not interested in competition? Plz.
I specifically said shotgun, that is a gun that shoots shot, in German a Flinte, guns with smoothbore barrels. Category D according to Austrian law, free for anyone aged 18 and older to own in Austria. Even my beloved Gewehr 98 repeating rifle (Repetierbüchse) is category C according to Austrian law, free for anyone aged 18 and older to own in Austria. I'd only need to register it with the government.

Relevant link (thanks for linking to that page in the first place).
Handguns and semiautomatic rifles are category B and require everything you listed. And I am not that much interested in them. I want a Gewehr 98 with a Spandau production mark and shoot that maybe once every 2-3 months just for fun. German law means I have to jump through comparatively a lot of hoops just for that. In Austria just for the Gewehr 98 I want I wouldn't have to. I could buy it and be done with it. If I have to go through all that paperwork, be prepared that I will certainly get the allowed guns.
