I reckon that if you were to drag a large magnet in some sections of the Yarra some interesting things would come up.

"A police spokesman said the firearms parts possibly dated back to the World War II era and may have been made at a nearby weapons factory during the war. All the weapons will be examined prior to destruction."

Looks like theyre being scrapped.

I wonder if they even need to be destroyed, I see there are no pictures.

80 "weapons" or 80 heaps of unusable rust more likely.
