Many police departments like to post photos of guns (and knives) taken off the streets in the line of duty, and the U.K.’s Bedfordshire Police showed off a firearm they found in a washing machine during a warrant. Officers also recovered a sword and drugs, so it’s possible this was a pirate drug dealer.
We have taken a gun off the streets of Bedfordshire after officers found the firearm in a washing machine during a warrant.
Officers also recovered a sword and Class A drugs during the warrant in Bedford on Monday.

This is exactly what I'd expect a gun from the streets of Bedfordshire to look like

If you didn't get the powder horn you didn't finish the job.

It's hard to keep your powder dry in a washing machine.

Did you serve the warrant in 1839??

Also uncovered in the bust were detailed plans of a pending heist aimed for a gold-transporting Bristol & Exeter Railway train.

Well I for one I feel immeasurably safer knowing that if Baron Cornelius Winchester IV wants to challenge me to a duel in 1821, there's one less pistol available for him to use.

They described the man as "positively the worst pirate they had ever seen" though he soon after evaded and lost them using their own vehicle.

Is that gun missing its hammer and lock? Is it in fact a weapon at all?
— Laurence Raphael Brothers (@lbrothers) October 13, 2021
That is NOT a functioning or close-to-functioning firearm.
