BiB: Excuse me sir, you were speeding. That'll be 300 baht.

Perp: Yeah, sorry about that but I was in a hurry to shoot my brother's rival. Doh!

They probably gave him his guns back after collecting 'tea money' for speeding.

You can not make this stuff up..."A special kind of stupid"...maybe he can be taught a few new tricks in prison...

I wonder if that 12mm is a misprint. That is an enormous bullet even for a big game rifle and especially for a handgun and even more so for a homemade handgun. It works out to about .475 caliber.

I think if he fired one of those in a handmade gun he'd wind up wearing it.

In the pic on the link, they appear to be shotgun shells, probably 20g (.615). Too small for 410. Probably someone just guestimated the size.
