1) The weapon was capable of firing ammunition that would mushroom on hitting flesh. You mean like hollow-point ammo??? Strange concept for those in the UK apparently.
2) Since he had 74 rounds of ammo, the gun was capable of firing 74 rounds. I suppose if he had 5,000,000 rounds, the gun would be capable of firing all those as well......
3) When he was initially pulled over , he was arrested when police found a work knife in his jeans. That turned into a charge of having an article with a blade or point - specifically a lock knife. Oh the horror.....
The weapons laws in the UK are over the top and have been for some time. Sigh...
