Spanish Police have released striking pictures of a huge weapons haul seized from an organised crime group.
It includes over 10,000 assault rifles, machine guns, pistols, revolvers, and 400 shells and grenades.
The guns and ammunition were seized in January during an operation against firearms trafficking.

Looks like a nation state backed weapons transfer program.
Is the hunting in Europe any good? I cannot imagine why the followers of a religion of peace would need firearms except for sporting purposes.
I have no doubt where these weapons were headed, but your linked article is fake news, :
“The five suspects legally bought unused weapons of war, repaired them before selling them on to terror cells or organised crime groups. “
No way does this statement describe what is in the photos.
Looks like a Texas toolshed.
Merkel’s Immigrant’s weapons finally showed up
That’s a boating accident waiting to happen!
Drool........................
Stashes of CETME/G3s and IED material
Spain should sell us back these collapsible stock
G3s...
Looks like fun to me
Europeans will probably have all these weapons smashed and ground to pieces....................
I hope they had a permit.
Yeah, the “Islamic State.” This is the second huge weapons haul the Spanish have caught in the last month or so. The first one was headed to Syria and had already been transshipped through various points (in the Balkans, IIRC). However, the information about the shipment came from the Moroccan contacts the Spanish maintain.
The “gang” behind it could be anything from the remnants of ETA (a big gun runner in its day) to ISIS operatives to the Turkish government...
Eric Holder, pick up the courtesy phone...
Now that is an arsenal.
Some of that stuff is ancient. I’m seeing stacks of Mausers and a few prehistoric machine guns in there...the kind of stuff NATO arsenals would have ditched decades ago, even as war-reserve stuff. Wonder what was the source of all this?
Give them to the Kurds.
