SWAT team raid Brad Pitt’s film, seize AK-47s and sniper rifles

A SWAT team has raided the set of Brad Pitt’s movie ‘World War Z’.

The Special Weapons and Tactics unit was called to a warehouse in Budapest holding props for the horror apocalypse movie where they discovered and seized 85 weapons – including AK-47s and sniper rifles – which all contained live ammunition.

A police spokesperson told gossip website X17 the collection of assault rifles were a “disaster waiting to happen” and claimed an accident could easily have occurred with the loaded weapons.

This is not the only near disaster averted on set, 47-year-old Brad saved an extra from being trampled during a battle scene for the film in Glasgow, Scotland with 700 extras when she fell to the ground.

  1. Raiding guns, while holding guns…

  2. Look, this is not pertaining to U.S. Constitutional laws, so it has really no reason being reported here. Gun laws in other Nations is their affaqir and we should keep our noses out of it. That’s why we’re in the mess we are in now.

  3. This is an absolute load of crap. Nice try jackarounds. Why the heck would they use LIVE weapons with LIVE ammo? They need to do some REAL journalism, like covering Ron Paul or something. He needs the truth to be heard.

  4. We’re not ebeing told something about this. It makes no sense. I’ve looked up several articles about it, and basically:

    Fully functional weapons with live ammo were seized at an Airport, not the set of the movie.

    What makes no sense is that a movie would NEVER use “fully functional weapons with live ammo” intentionally.

    This reeks…

  5. A SWAT team was necessary? What the hell is the world coming to? Why not one officer go and check on it by simply knocking? Then determining if the weapons needed to be seized or not. If needed they could have been seized and a receipt issued. No need for jack-booted thugs, on steroids, looking to kill someone.
