Military “style” only. I can’t find where they make that distinction.

Probably means anything that looks like it was designed after 1940. The Australian Gun Control lobby is calling for bans on "military style" bolt action and lever action rifles. These were military rifles at the end of the 19th century. "military style" means whatever they want to ban.
