ATHENS, Greece – Greek authorities say a partial inventory of unregistered weapons found on a Libya-bound freighter includes nearly 500,000 rounds of ammunition and 5,000 "police-style" shotguns.
A coast guard statement Wednesday said that so far two of the 14 containers found on the Bolivian-flagged Haddad 1 have been searched. A coast guard special unit stopped the ship early Tuesday off Crete, and took it to the island's port of Iraklio.

I blame Hillary Clinton for this. She screwed up getting rid of a kook like Qaddafi - how incompetent is she? Very.

Using bullets in a shotgun. Never tried that.

Where it came from tells who it is for.
I’d suspect organized crime first with Muslims second. Someone’s armory suffered a setback.

The mohammaden immigration crisis in Europe is a direct result of soetoro/jarrett /soros destabilization of the ME. Surrender in Afghanistan & Iraq, overthrow of Qadaffi and Mubarak, destabilization of Syria, assembling, arming and funding isis, al queda and other islamists.
Yes hillary was in charge of Libya.

At one point I had 500,000 rounds of ammo and 5,000 “police-style” shotguns, but I lost them in a boating accident. /FR joke

Using bullets in a shotgun. Never tried that. Stupid headline writer. The article actually states that it is 500,000 rounds of ammunition.

Bolivian-flagged Haddad 1 "Haddad" doesn't sounds like a Spanish name to me.

The Haddad 1 sailed from the Turkish port of Iskenderun on Aug. 29 and was headed for Libya — on which the United Nations have imposed an arms embargo.

Turkey is probably the “go to” place for shotguns. Quite a few make it over to here so loading up a ship with them would be nothing. Egypt and SA have smaller but still notable manufacturers.

Read Guerilla Gunsmithing.
In some places, the authorities will allow shotguns, but not rifles.
Locals make inserts that allow the use of rifle cartridges.
