We constantly hear in the media about "an arsenal of weapons was seized". My question to the board: How many guns to I need to own to reach Arsenal Status? I think its good to have goals in one's life and Arsenal Status seems as good as any.
I've heard as few as two guns described as an arsenal but I think we can agree that's too low. Ten guns? Twenty? Maybe we could get Arsenal Status bumper stickers. Or an Arsenal Club. T-shirts even. |
| I remember when the Crime bill (aka 94 AWB) was being written the libs wanted to have an arsenal tax for anyone over (I think it was) 10 guns or over 1000 rounds of ammo. One of my buddies said "a thousand rounds of ammo? I got more than that rolling around loose in my truck". |

In NY or NJ it's only a matter of having a bottle opened made out of a .50 caliber bullet that puts you in the, "Having an arsenal" status. You don't actually need to own any guns.

I think WoWPro had an Arsenal. He did. It was quite impressive and was the envy of all of ARFcom. But then his mom took it from him.

Depends on the state, I suppose. In Texas, you'd probably need crew served weaponry and an actual explosives magazine to qualify. In NY, you just need a few BB guns and a katana. Put FL in here too--> In Texas, you'd probably need crew served weaponry and an actual explosives magazine to qualify. |

A couple of 10/22 rifles and a few bricks of ammo would be reported as
AN ARSENAL OF SEMIAUTOMATIC RIFLES AND THOUSANDS OF ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION "armed to the teeth" "huge collection of dangerous weapons" "LEO's worst nightmare" "biggest seizure of weapons in town's history" From THISstory where they seized two ARs, a handgun and an upper. |

Wait a minute, I thought it was a cache, stockpile then an arsenal. Quoted:
Quoted:
an arsenal is more than a cache 
but not as much as a stockpile Wait a minute, I thought it was a cache, stockpile then an arsenal. Yes, a stockpile is clearly smaller than an arsenal. I thought everyone knew that. Collection, stash, stockpile, arsenal. We won't get into shit load just yet. That's another discussion. |

Can one of the experts here define the following then- Collection- Cache- Arsenal- Stockpile- I say I have a firearms collection(100ish firearms). Google> "Your word Definition" It's easy really, as most words and their meanings have been around a very long time. A.W.D. |

Collection, stash, stockpile, arsenal. We won't get into shit load just yet. That's another discussion. Well then how much is a fuck-ton? Is that more or less than a shit-load? Where does shit-ton and ass-load fall into the scheme of things? I've been described as having a shit-load of firearms. Is that more or less than an arsenal? |

My -personal- and completely arbitrary numbers would be:
Stash- at least 2, but usually in a hidden location Cache- Again at least 2, but with ammo and sealed for long term, off-site storage Collection 10-1000, preferably with themes. I.e; "This is my Old West collection, and there's my British Arms collection, and there's my US Military arms collection..." Arsenal- 1,000+ With parts, ammo, and tools to support all. Fuck-Ton- so many guns that no accurate count can be undertaken. Floors buckle, walkways are scarce, and no wall is visible through the heaps of firearms Fuck-Tonne- the metric version of above. |

Metric shitload is slightly less than a fuckton. Buttload is significantly less and generally reserved for smaller, concealable weapons. |
