WRAPPED in sacks, the 109 weapons no longer appear threatening. There are all kinds of makes: AK-47s, M-16s, grenade launchers, and FN automatic pistols. Most are legendary weapons from the Kalashnikov family made in Russia or China.

Most are no longer in an orderly state. For example, there are rifle butts with all sorts of stickers and several magazines adorned with flags of the crescent and star with black-and-white stripes on a red background.
