Short answer: Yes and no. Confusing? Yes and no.
Long answer: Well, that depends...
The reason:
In Canada, antique firearms are defined as any firearm that was manufactured BEFORE 1898, including handguns with barrels LONGER than 4", that has an ignition system of wheellock, matchlock, flintlock or caplock design. There are some cartridge rifles that are included in this classification- however, the ammunition and calibre used CANNOT be a commonly manufactured or purchased ammunition (eg: .45 centre-fire ammunition used in the 1911 .45 ACP- but the .41 Swiss Vetterli ammunition can't be found ANYWHERE in Canada, and is considered an antique), or the ammunition is obsolete. Any firearm EXCLUDING HANDGUNS manufactured AFTER 1898 that has an ignition system of wheellock, matchlock or flintlock design is STILL CONSIDERED AN ANTIQUE, however as indicated in the previous sentence, the ammunition cannot be a commonly manufactured or purchased ammunition.
And, in Canada, the FAC (Firearms Acquisition Certificate) was replaced by two different licences:
POL- Possession Only Licence- issued to persons who already have, or want to borrow, firearms.
PAL- Possession/Acquisition Licence- issued to persons who want to purchase, or borrow, firearms.
Also: the PAL has been divided into three sub licences: Restricted, Non-Restricted and Prohibited. Non-Restricted means long guns (rifles) used for hunting. This includes shotguns.
Restricted means long guns (rifles) used for hunting, shotguns and handguns with barrels longer than 4".
Prohibited means any other firearm not classified as Non-Restricted or Restricted by the Canada Firearms Act.

What is an example of using recursive functions?
Let's take the example of finding the factorial of a number (of a positive integer). The factorial of N is N * (N-1) * (N-2) * (N-3) ... * 3 * 2 *1 It is the product of all integers between that number (including that number) and 1. For example, factorial 2 = 2*1 = 2 factorial 3 = 3*2*1 = 6 factorial 4 = 4*3*2*1= 24 Now you define a recursive function Fac (N) as Fac (N) = Fac (N-1) * N, with Fac(1) predefined as 1. Thus, Fac(N-1) = Fac(N-2) * (N-1) and Fac(N-2) = Fac(N-3) * (N-2) and thus recursion takes over until such time fac(1) needs to be evaluated. We know the value of Fac(1) which is set as 1. Thus we can evaluate Factorial(N) using recursion.
