Dumbstruck prison officers discovered replica GUNS, KNIVES and even a SAMURAI SWORD.
The crafty inmate had painstakingly glued together thousands of matches — honing his bladed weapons until they were razor sharp.
A source said last night: "It must have taken months. The knives were lethal."
A security bulletin to jails nationwide over the cache at Category C Usk prison in Monmouthshire, Wales, reveals one gun sported "a fully revolving barrel".
It warns the prisoner's matchstick hobby "blended fantasy with deadly functionality".
Usk's governor Steve Cross said: "Their realism presented a genuine threat to the safety of staff, visitors and other prisoners."
The discovery comes after two matchstick knives were found at Littlehey prison in Cambridgeshire.

Can't leave a man to his non-harmful, productive hobbies even in prison?
Tsk tsk.

Makes one wonder if that Gunblade is actually fully functional.

Some of them look like they aren't from Final Fantasy. I like how he added the Materia to the Buster Sword though

Is it even possible to hold the gunblade in one hand? The handle is freakin huge.

This sorta makes you wonder who this person is, and why he's in prison.

Good people break the law. Mistakes happen.
Its not hard to just go to a convenience store and decide to rob it. Bad decision making, scumbag, etc, but he could've been a good guy at the core of things.
And bad people can have creative hobbies too. Gamers and anime fans, with constructive hobbies, can be total douchebags.
Just goes to show not everything is so black and white.

^ yerp. Though had had to do something fairly bad, as prison is for 1+ year sentences only. Otherwise he'd be in jail.
I wonder if someone outside of prison could sell those for 'im on ebay, or if he has to wait? Assuming they don't needlessly discard of them, anyway.
