(UK) Man jailed for 5 years over HUGE arsenal

Post by Bruenor »

Glad I live in the USA, and that's a pathetic arsenal. the arsenal that sadly I lost on my last boating trip, was much more impressive.

A huge arsenal of weapons including shotguns and more than 6,000 rounds of ammunition was found at a Midlands home.
Three air pistols, a pair of air rifles, a ME38 revolver, two sound moderators and a huge amount of ammunition was discovered at the 47-year-old's home.
"His collection posed a significant risk to the public had it been stolen or sold to criminals," he added.
Five of the weapons, which contained gas easily converted to fire live ammunition

I've heard of this before converting air guns to real guns.. not sure how that's supposed to work, or how well they would hold up. Most air guns I've used are certainly rugged enough for pellets and BBs, but not for real ammunition.
