Must be Bic is now manufacturing "ball point" ammunition, along with ball point pens! Lol.
three 357mm ball point rounds
My goodness. And I thought a 155mm field howitzer was big.
;o)

(Basseterre, St. Kitts): The St. Kitts/Nevis Defence Force has engaged in a new operation called “Operation Rattle Snake” this course of action was launched last week and is presently ongoing. As a part of the operation the Defence Force continues to do what it takes to decrease the number of drugs, guns, ammunition and other illegal products on the street.
In connection with this operation, the Defence Force carried out searches in the Canada Estate and the Keys Village Hills area, and as a result, led to a cache of weapons and ammunitions and other illegal items buried in some bushes.
Among the findings were a M4 carbine assault rifle with magazine, .22mm sniper rifle with telescopic lens and magazine, 12 gauge shot gun, eight 12 gauge shot gun rounds five 45 mm hallow point rounds ,twelve 45mm ball point rounds, thirty 22mm rounds thirty-two 32mm rounds, thirty-nine 9mm rounds, eleven seven point six two 39mm rounds, ninety-four 9mm hallow point rounds, sixteen 38mm ball point rounds, twelve 357mm hallow point rounds, three 357mm ball point rounds, thirty 22mm rounds, sixty-eight 40mm hallo point rounds, two 9mm rounds magazine and one 45 rounds magazine.
They also found service manuals, replacement parts for weapons, cleaning kit, sniper rifle carrying case and ammunition box operation manuals.
Information that was gathered from this massive discovery of weapons and ammunitions was shared with the police, which led to a joint operation between the St Kitts Nevis Defence Force and the Royal St Christopher and Nevis Police Force.
The joint forces conducted searches in the same vicinity, however with search warrants to investigate certain keys properties believed Kimbal Williams to be used as hideouts, this action led to the discovery of another weapon, a .45mm pistol with ammunition, mask, bullet proof vest, camouflage clothing and other items in a house which was occupied by a young man in his late 20’s Kimbal Williams.
Williams was arrested in connection with the illegal items that were found in his premises.
All weapons, ammunitions, spare parts, service manual and other items were handed over to the police to assist in the investigation.
The SKNDF along with the police remains committed to the on going campaign by the security forces to rid the Federation of illegal drugs, firearms and ammunition. The public is urged to continue to support this effort as the support of all citizens is critical to mission success.

OMG. that the worst description i’ve ever seen, like a 3d grader who’s just dicovering measurements and is a poor speller.
also, if this is massive.. i must be an inter-galactic armourer.
This sets a new low for “gun stupid reporting”.
That being said, I probably have more ammo than that floating around in my kitchen junk drawer.
And people wonder why Caribbean tourism hasn't been all that wonderful.
a .22 mm sniper rifle? Is that for taking out mosquitos?
All those unusual metric calibers are making my eyes dizzy!!!
“sixty-eight 40mm hallo point rounds”
Probably the hallowed rounds were manufactured by gangs of Monks.
Funny, I never saw ammo that came with a manual.
Just a plinker, unless fed with +P.
A 400-mm siege cannon. And to think you could write a letter with it, too!
It’s Canada, isn’t it? They use a different metric system where zero degrees isn’t even cold yet.
As easy as it is to blame the reporter, it looks as if they were just reading the labels on the display. I’d guess they were labeled by the “authorities”.
Always a good idea to quit smoking the ganji before writing the report. Stick to rastafarri articles.....
Ooooooh, where do I get one? I wonder if they make an anle holster for it.
Okay besides the HORRIBLE grammar and spelling we have hallow and hallo point rounds (same thing?).
Also 30 22mm rounds were listed twice. I’m assuming that is wrong and it should be .22 rounds (big difference) to go into that .22 (eh-hem) “sniper” rifle.
So we have total 3 guns and 360 rounds of ammo with 3 magazines. I have more then that in my car.
BTW where can I buy a 40mm pistol? And do I really want to shoot it?
That'd be .866 in inches. You could take out the elephant behind the mosquito with something like that.
anle=ankle. LOL! The other would be too uncomfortable I’m sure.
Couldn't find a 22mm sniper rifle, but here's a 20mm sniper rifle.
