Looks like an entire museum. This was discovered and illegal?

Not everything is illegal but seems the guy had a lot live arty rounds and hand granades from the Spanish Civil War. Some machine guns did not have the papers.

They've moved the vid:

I would say this is just propaganda for the police, because they can't find enough terrorist to get these days. Why do they show all those lorries and canons and they move the arty shells if they are so dangerous?? You can clearly see the guy has a museum, he is not a bank robber or so. He might get a fine and back home, but some police officer will get a medal.

Nice collection well displayed. I'd be interested to know what will become of the collection now. Do the police confiscate everything or just the live ammo?
