I note you seek access to the following information:
Please provide details on the most common type of firearm and its ballistic rating for seized firearms in London since 2020- please also include blank firing weapons that have been converted.
CLARIFICATION -
My question regarding the firearm relates to a real firearm or a converted blank firing weapon such as a Readily Convertible Imitation Firearm and not a gas or air powered device
Ballistic rating in my question refers to the calibre of bullet, shot or other missile discharged (or could potentially be discharged in the case of a readily converted imitation firearm) from the most common type of firearm
Further reference can be found here in Page 8 Section 1 for your reference to Ballistics, Calibre, firearms etc
I have today decided to disclose the located information to you in full. Please find below information pursuant to your request above.
Please note that the data provided is from items / exhibits that have been submitted to the forensic laboratory for examination.
