Australian police have seized a World War II era machinegun during a traffic
stop 100km (60 miles) north of Sydney.
Officers searched a car on the Central Coast of New South Wales on Sunday
night and found an MP40 sub-machine gun plus 60 rounds of ammunition.
The weapon was developed in Nazi Germany - more than a million were produced
during the war.

A 40-year-old man, who was a passenger in the car, was charged with
possessing a prohibited firearm.
Police said he was refused bail and would appear at Wyong Local Court on

A forensic examination will be carried out on the firearm to determine
whether can be linked to any shooting incidents.
The gun was missing its barrel but police said initial examinations suggested
it was in working order.
Strict controls
Australia has very strict gun control laws. All firearms must be registered,
and to use one a person must hold a licence.
But it is estimated that there are as many as 260,000 illicit guns in
circulation.
Last week, Australia brought in a national gun amnesty because of the growing
terrorism threat and an influx of illegal arms in the country.
Those caught with prohibited weapons during that period face fines of up to
A$280,000 ($212,730; ￡166,480) or up to 14 years in prison.
A similar amnesty was held after the 1996 shootings in Port Arthur, Tasmania,
in which 35 people were shot dead.
About 650,000 firearms were destroyed in that amnesty, and gun crimes dropped
rapidly.
澳洲對於槍械管理蠻嚴格的 所有槍械都需註冊 持有者也必須有證照
不過估計市面上還是有大概26萬違法槍枝流通
