A police spokesman in Budapest told the gossip channel X17 that the collection of rifles represented a "disaster waiting to happen" and warned that an accident could easily have occurred as the weapons were loaded and ready for use.
Meanwhile the Associated Press reports that the weapons were intended to be used in Brad Pitt's new movie, "World War Z" but as they had not been properly deactivated, they were confiscated.
It quotes Hungary's head of Counter-Terrorism, Janos Hajdu as saying that the weapons had arrived from London and were discovered at a nearby duty-free zone. He said the importation of these weapons was not allowed under Hungarian law particularly as they had not been fully deactivated and could be used to fire live ammunition.
