This arsenal of firearms is among the dozens of weapons that have been taken off London’s streets during the Met’s latest gun amnesty.

Since Monday 45 weapons have been surrendered across the capital as part of the Give Up Your Gun campaign, including shotguns, revolvers, rifles and handguns, Scotland Yard said.

Detectives from the Met’s gang unit today urged anyone still in possession of an illegal firearm to hand it in before the amnesty ends on Sunday night.

LOL!

[ARGLOCKGUY]

What I keep in my truck would strike them dead in fright!!!! Much less what is in my safe.

[P.O.E.]

Is antiques roadshow still on ?

[Eagles6]

Unless it’s womens’ lingirie then yes.

[SkyDancer]

And they also can’t say anything disparaging against the mussies otherwise it’s a hate crime and jail time for you.

Couple I’d like to have. I wonder ... naw, too scary.

[JBW1949]

Think something is wrong with that clip thingy or maybe the trigger thingy???

[MHGinTN]

That four barrel pepper is probably a valuable antique.

My 1911 tends to snag on lace.

Other than the Colt SSA,all I see is junk.

That's NOT a Colt Single Action Army. It's a non-firing replica of a Colt SAA, made out of pot metal, a TOY!

The rest are all curios and relics, most are black powder muzzle loaders which would be legal in the US for anyone to own.

[PLMerite]

What is that, the Mau Mau collection?

[SkyPilot]

LOL!

A terrifying arsenal? Oh my. From left to right:

1. An “English Bulldog” revolver

2. I have no idea. Might be a starter pistol.

3. The rusty wreckage of an Adams revolver.

4. A percussion boot pistol.

5. A Spanish-made non-firing Colt SAA replica. The cylinder cuts are a dead giveaway.

6. An I-don’t-what-the-heck-that-is. Perhaps a pistol-like thing hacked down from a Flobert rifle.

7. A percussion pepperbox revolver.

Truly, a terrifying collection — for the shooter, if any fool ever tried to load and fire one of them.

[Robert DeLong]

Actually some look like antiques.

Remember a few years ago when the swat team was called out in the U.K. When they found a spent .22 casing?

[Vendome]

Beautiful weapons.

[Tax-chick]

If I fail to be terrified, then what?

[cyclotic]

I have an unregistered fully automatic battery powered caulk gun in my arsenal.
