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.

12x525=6300
OK, I can’t count, but the multiplication is correct.
24*525 = 12,600
Yep, they busted a major arms dealer alright. I wonder how many terrorists have to look for new bb guns and air guns now? Just think of the lives that were saved!
great(?) britain, just keep pushing!
I wonder how the British authorities would react to my 13 year old’s full auto, Uzi pattern BB gun. Poor kid would probably get life in prison for possessing that.
Hoplophobe; someone who fears Hopi Indians?
Do you remember the story a few years ago when someone found an empty .22 casing in a parking lot in Britain? They called SWAT, cordoned off the area, retrieved the piece of brass and began a thorough investigation.
A couple weeks later, I found an empty .22 casing on the ground at a gas station. I thought about calling the police.
Last year, my kids and some friends were showing off their realistic looking airsoft rifles. Some ninny in the neighborhood called the police. A while later, three of our town’s finest strolled into the backyard. I was there and walked over to greet them.
They took a glance at the boys and said “Toys?”
“Yep”
“see ya” and they left.
I was OK with that.
Really? 6000 rounds is a starter kit.
I was just starting to get good
Arsenal? Sounds like a nice day at the range.
Actually, Col. Jeff Cooper coined the term. It's political, not clinical.
“6000 rounds aint that much.”
Around here we call it “Saturday”.
My wife and I own 7 guns, and none of them are air rifles. What a joke. I usually keep 1000 rounds per weapon. You have to have a supply just for range purposes. Im a regular person and no danger to anyone peaceful. According to this article, Im a fanatic.
You missed the “or something” part.
Five shots of .177 air-powered terror. I had to sit down after seeing it.
You had to sit down huh? The sheer awesomeness and power of such a weapon must have been overwhelming. ;-)
Strictly an amateur, that’s little more than a case of 22LR, last time I checked I had around 5 cases in my ammo safe and that’s not to mention the all the center fire reloads. The other safe, Liberty’s largest, is full of fire arms. The air rifles and pistols are stashed elsewhere.
24*525 = 12,600
I know.
But 12 x 525 IS 6300 (I can’t count)
