    If you look closely, there appears to be a “Bren” type LMG on the floor and something that kinda resembles a “sten” smg propped up against the dresser. I suppose these are replicas or they’d been the in the headline.

      Yeah. There’s a Webley and an Ak laying around too.

      But the FC9 (3d printed 9mm AR “pistol”) was hidden away in a loft even tho it wasn’t in a firable state. So there’s very little chance they left operable machine guns just laying around

      They’re not airsoft, and I doubt they’re replicas. Most likely decommissioned collectibles

      Usually they get the firing pins removed and then the action welded shut thru the frame, or a cut made in the same location. Sometimes the barrel gets plugged too.

      But at one point they were actual guns.
