A huge arsenal of weapons including shotguns and more than 6,000 rounds of ammunition was found at a Midlands home.

Police say the collection which was hoarded by Jonathan Knight posed a 'significant risk to the public'.

Officers from the National Crime Agency's armed operations unit descended on a house in Sunfield Road, Cannock after suspecting weapons fanatic, Jonathan Knight had been collecting firearms illegally.

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.

The hyperventilating and pearl-clutching is hilarious. These people would die of apoplexy from hearing what average American gun owners have.

This is an arsenal? Over reacting sissies...

Heh. My dad says that "A Banana Clip is something you use to hold bananas together".

Not that they would know about that, either.

6000 rounds. That’s a nice start. For a Brit.

Sounds like a day at the range here in Alabama.

Formerly-Great Britain is afraid of its own shadow. Such disarmed nancy boys.

Sounds about right. I had more, but needed room in the safe for another AR.

🔫=AR. I heard that AR stands for AirRifle. 😹

I didn’t see a single firearm in the lot.
All air rifles (air soft plastic pellets at that.)

Well, sheesh....them dirty CO2 global warming guns. They shoot the planet itself. /the more you know rainbow

The wind just broke its leg.

What? You are insane if you push any conventional round through an air rifle barrel not to mention the problems you are likely to have with chamber pressures. The weapon is probably more dangerous to the user than the target.

[tumblindice]

“sound moderators”? By Jove ...

[arthurus]

I wonder if those air rifles operate on compressed air,CO2 or are similar to air guitars.

I just got 3K Winchester SuperX .22LR a couple weeks ago, in those cool little wooden boxes.
The Brits are such old ladies about firearms, it’s hard to believe they had an empire.
If any appear here with sound moderated aero-guns, I shall taunt them a second time.
