tracker1 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 When you see some of the rubbish that they call firearms it is a wonder more shooters aren't killed or maimed ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiochaser Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 1610 bullets for 240 firearms? Or at the very least, only 238 firearms. I can see in the picture that there are two possibly three air rifles. Is Thailand like Britain and Canada, countries that classify pneumatic type rifles and pistols as firearms? 1610 for 238 = 6.7 bullets per firearm? I have more than 2000 rounds of .22 caliber LR and .22 WMR bullets alone. I wonder where the M16's came from. Years ago somewhere in Central or South America some M16's were confiscated from criminals. The police asked the U.S. for assistance in determining where the rifles came from. Turns out they were from Vietnam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
