"Right lads erm if you could just pack it in like wit fooking magnets. Cos it's giving us reet head aches. It's in there for reason lads. Let it be" 😂😂
Rose Treiger they don't bother me neither, I think they're doing a great job. They are cleaning the waterways...... For fun! It was a joke on the old bills part.
UK: Finds Ammo and a firearm, calls police. USA: Finds Ammo and a firearm, what a score, wonder if the Ammo still fires... Hope I can clean up the gun and shoot it.
Actually there are river divers on UA-cam they find the guns and give them to the police they are usually murder weapons you get caught with it and it gets pinned to you you’re gone for good.
the reason why I care is as follows ... we as a nation have been heavily infliuenced by the usa. and, not in a good way. I wish we could go back to 1930 and put an embargo on anything American. .
What you found at first was a WWII type “bandolier” that an infantry man would carry with ammunition loaded into “stripper clips” for fast reloading a bolt action rifle, usually a British Enfield 303 or 308. The officer seemed to say that the cartridge was a 5.52 which is a recent caliber that NATO and most European countries have changed to. I am 70, have had the pleasure to visit the British Isles twice and found the people amazing and the country beautiful. You finds are addictive to watch. Cheers from Atlanta, Georgia!
You have some amazing finds there! It's just a shame your cameraman has no idea what he's doing. Would be nice if we could actually see the things you discover
valeforedark yeah but even in America it's only some states that allow it. Some don't believe it has the power to kill a deer which most people use it for.
cardiffpicker1 highly doubt they would arrest and charge you for taking a firearm to the police station after finding it in a canal, many people do this and haven’t had any problems
@@gushbucket5998 they probably wouldn't with these as the gun is not technically a gun and ammo is perfectly safe but some found are real and still loaded, they would definitely charge someone with them.
If you find a gun, you don't mess around with it, you don't put it in a bag and drive it to the station, you call them to come to you. That is 100% what the police would tell you to do in that situation
That pistol is a blank-firing replica of very poor quality. Made by Bruni in Italy, mostly zinc alloy with a steel barrel. Good thing you called the police, though! Weapons of any kind, whether legal ones or illegal ones, shouldn't be abandoned where one has absolutely no control over them. With this one, I can picture three scenarios: 1) someone still had it and wanted to get rid of it the easiest way, 2) it had been tampered with, trying to make it to work with live ammonutíon (very bad idea), or 3) it had been used in a crime as a threatening device at one time, and then disposed off. thumbs up for calling the coppers, and showing it in this video, too!
The ammo and belt are military. The velcro places it after the mid-70s, when velcro started being used by the military. As the ammo is 5.56 that places it after the mid-80s when the military fell on their heads and moved from the 7.62 L1A1 rifle to the 5.56 SA80. The non-bullet thing you pulled out is a loading tool, used to load multiple rounds into the magazine quickly and with blistering thumbs.
We are all guessing since we cannot see a clear picture, but what they are not is Russian AK47 7.62 or British 7.62. And the people saying they are the same dont not much about each, they are not interchangeable.
I'm a month late, but those are 100% 5.56. The bandolier they found is one of the ways they come in ammo cans, they are packaged in stripper clips and the bulkier thing is a magazine speedloader, that you put on top of the magazine and run stripper clips through it to quickly load magazines. My guess is, some paratrooper lost it during a training jump, there's no other way as they are pretty new, unavailable to civilians and criminals. Maybe some criminals stole them from a army base and dumped them there, but that happens extremely rarely.
The gun is a cheep 8mm blank firer that was sold in the 80s and 90s as a starter pistol or stage prop. I remember an officer in my cadet force geting one to use in weekend exercises when we would crall about the army range with blank firing Lee Enfield's. That was fun
They are interested because it breaks up the boredom of dealing with idiots driving and using their phones, stopping youths from fighting and listening to neighbours complaining about the volume of each other’s radios. This kind of thing helps make a crap day dealing with members of the stupid public go by 🤣😀
A homemade gun could be made to fire 5.56 or any other caliber. Just because you have some 5.56 ammo does not connect it to an automatic type of weapon. Some bolt action rifles are chambered in 5.56 NATO too.
@@mccari09 your lucky, we only had 22lr training model lee Enfields stamped 1945 on receiver when I was in air cadets. I just looked up l96a1 and it is chambered in .308 .300 win mag and .338 lapua. We did get to stand on a cenotaph on remembrance day holding colt c7s once. Also one year a collector loaned us very old uniforms from 1800s to ww2 to wear as we stood guard. It was pretty cool at 14 years old!
Starting pistol used for sports days etc, but......... they were starting to use them in the 1980's to say I'm a gangster with a gas gun, if memory serves me well a flare can be screwed on the front and that's why it was called a gas gun! Don't ask I was confused myself. The ammunition is for the SA80 rifle, the toy with the scope that replaced the SLR 7.62 ( Belgian FN ) the rifle with bollocks that NATO said was too powerful for modern warfare! This is not intended to insult anyone, just the prospective of an old veteran .

The Boulton-Paul Defiant, the Bristol Blenheim and Sir Bernard Lovell. During the Mcr. Blitz only 2 confirmed German bombers were accounted for. Even with barrage balloons and spotlights it was difficult for Britain's air aces to defend their territory in the dark. Two unlikely aircraft fulfilled that role. The Boulton Paul Defiant was a turret fighter, 4 Brownings as armament in a power-operated turret. A single-engined aircraft - a Rolls-Royce merlin engine gave it some handy speed. It's two-man crew often did sterling work, a plane with fighter speed and a turret giving it awesome firepower in a wide-arc it's weakness in times of trouble being the difficulty with which the rear-gunner could extricate himself and bale out. The Bristol Blenheim was partly funded by Harold (Lord) Rothermere proprietor of the Daily Mail. It was a super fast twin-engined light-bomber and a step forward for the '30's. It came in two varieties, the short-nosed and long-nosed versions. Used in the Phoney War for leaflet drops and attacks against shipping. It was very bravely-crewed as it had only light armament. Like the Defiant that took to the skies defending Mcr. in the interceptor role, the Blenheim shone in this role. This was largely due to team who invented the CavityMagnetron, enabling the first reliable air-borne radar. Amongst this team was Sir Bernard Lovell who was the man behind the University of Manchester's Jodrell Bank Radio Telescope.
i would be stupid with them like throw one off a wall or hit it just incase the primers dry but its not gonna go off from handeling it edit:they might not even be waterlogged or atleast some might still be dry if there seals remained intact iirc there water proof to a degree because things like ww2 and modern day militarys often end up having to swim or go through water even if there dry your fine handeling them though you have to impact specific force to set them off(hit the primer) dropping them clanking them together and anything else 2 guys and a magnet are likley to do aint gonna set them off
@Sam No people shouldn't be scared of guns, I've never seen a gun lift off the table and start shooting people. The problem is who has access to them and to be frank in the UK at the moment the only people with guns are the criminals. It's a joke.
Back in 72 i joined a canal cleaning group by coutalds of fosehill road we found a leg of a body and loads of valubles seams they were connected to an incident in bedworth
The hand gun if it is a blank firer may still be regarded as a potential firearm in the uk as some can be reverse engineered into viable weapons for crime use. Blank firers in general do not require a firearms certificate but some models have been banned from sale in the UK as they are too easy to convert. Even in its standard form they have the same intimidation effect. I don't think many people even use them in track and field these days. How things have changed... I remember in the 70's, our old headmaster had a Webley service revolver he used on sports days.
@@jimbenson4029 I do agree, I have been involved in pest control, hunting and competitive shooting disciplines most of my life but my attitude towards guns have changed a lot as I got older. The risks of the wrong people getting their hands on them are too great. I would rather they were out of the public domain all together.
Police will always attend a firearm situation if only bullets shame my nan got burglared and got a 2 hours response to say forensics will contact you they did 3 days later

5:23 yeah that's the standard US army bandolier that 5.56 comes in when we get the ammo out of the ammo crate at the range, also the thing at 3:48 is a speed loader that comes with each bandolier.

EraseMeWhole just saying man there are over 400,000 gun owners and over 1 million illegally owned guns don’t think we have a spasm or get offended when we here the word gun
The ammunition was 5.56 NATO as used in the British Army SA80. It was in its bandolier, you get 5 bandoliers in an ammo box, 30 rounds in each pocket totaling 150 rounds per bandolier.
Me and my friends found a pistol in a lake once. I didn't believe it was real until I felt how heavy it was, and so we decided to call the police and let them deal with it. Long story short, they said over the phone that it's probably fake and to just throw it back in the lake. We tried to tell the officer on the phone that it had some serious weight to it and even had a sleight serial number on the side of it, but she insisted it probably wasn't real and to just put it back where we found it. It was this that made me lose faith in the British police, as yeah, it could have been fake, but without a proper inspection, how do you know? If I had to sum up British police in a single word, it would be lazy.
Can I suggest to you boys that you get yourself informed about guns and their constituent parts. They are not to be messed with and should be handled in a specific way. You are doing a great service to the public and the police. This shows how little the criminals think about the damage which could be done, by their careless actions.
Jack Stephens I had to laugh you guy's can't even have a knife is this true? You guy's have no possible way to defend your selves basically your slaves to your government can't believe it!
no we cant have a knife to walk around the street with, for obvious fucking reasons, we dont need guns, we have done fine for years without them, still doesnt mean that people cant get guns, if you have no criminal record, you have a good legal reason to use it, you can often get a license for some rifles/ shotguns and very rarely pistols. but unlike your government and police etc, we actually know who to give them too so we dont have people running round the streets or in schools shooting every bastard they see. you can talk about how we dont have a gun to defend ourselfs but people have been shot by people in england before, and may i just say that if you went outside with no gun and you get shot in the head, you would have nothing to defend yourself ,you'd just die, its exactly the reason we dont need guns given to random people who get one just because they feel like it
Artizan I live in Australia lol we don't have school shootings because we have a much better controll over who gets firearms, but we have millions of them in every state in Australia we have a healthy gun culture.

The gun is a Bruni (BBM) 8mm blank firing copy of the walther PPK
When you find bullets always look at the bottom of it and look for markings
Nato ammo doesn't always have the calibre on head stamp.
That’s so cool great work
Find some ammo and the Police turn up. Near neighbours house gets burgled and it's four days before they appear.
A blank fireing gun could still be used for crime / robbery
And probably able to fire live rounds with work.
Bro that might be someone’s ashes 1:30- 2-30
I think you're right yikes...
I have bandoliers like that with .223 ammo for the AR-15 or M16. The metal thing was an adapter to connect the stripper clips to the magazine.
Magnet fishing,
Love it!
Probably best taking all your finds to the local police station at the end of the day instead of having them come out a few times, just a thought...

Marc Gosling I’m coming on Thursday shhhhh
Back in 72 i joined a canal cleaning group by coutalds of fosehill road we found a leg of a body and loads of valubles seams they were connected to an incident in bedworth
The hand gun if it is a blank firer may still be regarded as a potential firearm in the uk as some can be reverse engineered into viable weapons for crime use. Blank firers in general do not require a firearms certificate but some models have been banned from sale in the UK as they are too easy to convert. Even in its standard form they have the same intimidation effect. I don't think many people even use them in track and field these days. How things have changed... I remember in the 70's, our old headmaster had a Webley service revolver he used on sports days.
Peter Sobocki thanks for the comments pal, but we can’t take any chances when we find a gun it has to go to the rozzers, thanks for watching
@@jimbenson4029 I do agree, I have been involved in pest control, hunting and competitive shooting disciplines most of my life but my attitude towards guns have changed a lot as I got older. The risks of the wrong people getting their hands on them are too great. I would rather they were out of the public domain all together.
Police will always attend a firearm situation if only bullets shame my nan got burglared and got a 2 hours response to say forensics will contact you they did 3 days later
In Win yep they is as about much use as a fart in a space suit 🐺🐾💪😢
Tom Piper yep right on 👌🐺🐾💪😉

Hahaha it's really funny to watch non gun people find ammo and guns.
looks like 5.56X45 NATO rounds to me.
Your and idiot theiry're shotgun shells stupid idiot
You're the idiot, did you only watch the first 15 seconds ? Durh-Yup
R. R. Know your the idiot stupid dumb!
I agree. They look like 5.56 to me.
Its definitely 75mm tank shells
Sometimes i imagine myself as a diary cow, but I have learnt the power of getting into all the hard to shave places.
First time watching this sort of vid. AND IM IMPRESSED. I live beside a canal, actually, it was the first canal ever built anywhere in the UK between Newry And Portadown, MIGHT BUY A MAGNET lol, It looks like a lot of fun :)
geoff toner hi Geoff I think you should get a 🧲,don’t know what’s in there till you try,thanks for watching
God knows what we would find if we were able to drain all the water from canals
MellowGamer Darren Jesus could you imagine
A load of shopping trolleys
in poland it would be already in a police car for such a subject such a sick law we have in PL
Zielona mila what do you mean mate? Do you mean they would arrest the guys who found it?
5:23 yeah that's the standard US army bandolier that 5.56 comes in when we get the ammo out of the ammo crate at the range, also the thing at 3:48 is a speed loader that comes with each bandolier.
Bwaha, some lad got his kit home, found a bandolier, thought he'd get on shit and ditched it 😂
2:58 there bullets mate there bullets
In this comments section:
People crying that the chap is wasting police time reporting AR-calibre bullets and a gun
People of a certain nationality making "oi u got a license for that moi8te" jokes when they can get arrested and imprisoned for crossing the road incorrectly
LMAO
Yeah but we can get arrested for not having a loicense so we can't claim to be any better
The UK needs libertarianism
Have you got a licence for your double-standards opinion?
@@ThatsMrMaxHeadroomToYou Neckbeard, yeah, ya got me. Nanny state, nah, I'm cool with the ideas behind the 2nd amendment. Xbox? REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
@@ThatsMrMaxHeadroomToYou Not sure how it's double standards. Crossing the road is a freedom afforded to everyone but North Americans :^)
The 5.56x45mm NATO also used for the gp rifle and the SA80. Lucky to find it, and the don't look like blanks, so they could be Ball rounds.
Surprised you guys didn't burst into flames, touching a firearm and all.
A fairy dies every time someone mentions that word over here :D
We can legally own AR-15s and revolvers over here, Its ordinary pistols they have a problem with.
RedAndWhiteKopite funny because AR-15s and pump shotguns are banned in Australia but pistols are completely legal with a sporting license
RedAndWhiteKopite actually, you can own semi auto rifles up to a .22lr.
EraseMeWhole just saying man there are over 400,000 gun owners and over 1 million illegally owned guns don’t think we have a spasm or get offended when we here the word gun
I went magnet fishing and caught tetanus
Weils disease more like
The ammunition was 5.56 NATO as used in the British Army SA80. It was in its bandolier, you get 5 bandoliers in an ammo box, 30 rounds in each pocket totaling 150 rounds per bandolier.
Finding that amount of ammunition is insane
The things in the black bag is done for black magic
Not black magic.

Probably pinched and dumped
p y idol worship no it’s magic

Police probably never seen a gun before
Me and my friends found a pistol in a lake once. I didn't believe it was real until I felt how heavy it was, and so we decided to call the police and let them deal with it. Long story short, they said over the phone that it's probably fake and to just throw it back in the lake. We tried to tell the officer on the phone that it had some serious weight to it and even had a sleight serial number on the side of it, but she insisted it probably wasn't real and to just put it back where we found it. It was this that made me lose faith in the British police, as yeah, it could have been fake, but without a proper inspection, how do you know? If I had to sum up British police in a single word, it would be lazy.
Yooo that’s so cool
Oi m8 you got a loicense for fishing?
This is just wasting police time, the Police don't look like they care 1 bit lol just keep it as a souvenir.
then get arrested down the line for possession of an unlicensed firearm, nah man.
Can I suggest to you boys that you get yourself informed about guns and their constituent parts. They are not to be messed with and should be handled in a specific way. You are doing a great service to the public and the police. This shows how little the criminals think about the damage which could be done, by their careless actions.
Wow!! I so want a magnet setup :(
The UK public is so uneducated with guns and amunition ...
Google our gun laws, then you will find out why. And not all of us are some of us are just as educated as in the states
Jack Stephens I had to laugh you guy's can't even have a knife is this true? You guy's have no possible way to defend your selves basically your slaves to your government can't believe it!
no we cant have a knife to walk around the street with, for obvious fucking reasons, we dont need guns, we have done fine for years without them, still doesnt mean that people cant get guns, if you have no criminal record, you have a good legal reason to use it, you can often get a license for some rifles/ shotguns and very rarely pistols.
but unlike your government and police etc, we actually know who to give them too so we dont have people running round the streets or in schools shooting every bastard they see. you can talk about how we dont have a gun to defend ourselfs but people have been shot by people in england before, and may i just say that if you went outside with no gun and you get shot in the head, you would have nothing to defend yourself ,you'd just die, its exactly the reason we dont need guns given to random people who get one just because they feel like it
Artizan I live in Australia lol we don't have school shootings because we have a much better controll over who gets firearms, but we have millions of them in every state in Australia we have a healthy gun culture. Don't believe what you hear in the media about Australia and guns it's mostly untrue...
I live in Australia too buddy and your talking right out your ass mate 😂
