The old man from Somerset stumbled upon a more shocking discovery-a cache of 40 hidden lethal weapons.
Rusty and dirty guns dating back to World War II include Brownings.

One expert said the guns could belong to the IRA and could have been thrown away when weapons were declared in 2001.

\"I was shocked,\" he told the Sun.

Former SAS sergeant and writer Andy McNabb, who served in Northern Ireland in 1979, said the weapons could have been used by the IRA during the trouble.
He said it must be a terrorist organization.
Because there are all kinds of weapons.
From the close-up assassination to the downing of a helicopter or Land Rover.
A large machine gun barrel means it could be the IRA.
