I thought that someone would say that. I've just gone upstairs and measured my guns at their shortest lengths and they come to 70cm for my rifle with it's stock folded and and 65 cm my pistol as is.
If I wanted to, I could very easily remove my pistols mandatory 'coathanger' from it's grip to reduce it to 40cm (which is illegal and would land me in jail if found out) if i was inclined to in order to conceal it.
edit: It's just occurred to me that I could equally easily remove the 'long barrel' from the pistol and thereby shorten it another 20cm as well. The thing is that, in the UK, it is fiddly to obtain a gun license and the guns that the license allows you are restricted to certain lengths and/or calibers. If, however, you decided to chuck it all away and go all 'allah Akbar', you could very easily do it.
