A Chinese man, who has a 'lethal obsession', has been detained after it was discovered that he had a 'mini arsenal' of weapons and ammunition at home.

Chinese police say that the man was a 'military fanatic,' and had a collection of various military armaments including the replica of a gun, some rocket-propelled grenades and hundreds of rounds of other ammunition.

Police say that they were investigating reports of unlicensed taxis and were carrying out routine checks when they went to the home of a man in Shenyang, Liaoning province on Jan. 27, reports Chinanews.com.

The discovery was apparently accidental.' They found out that the man, who was only identified as Liu, was a serious ordinance fanatic who loves to collect various kinds of military weapons and ammunition.

The police found an illegal collection of firearms and weaponry used for military purposes in Liu's property. The mini arsenal included hand grenades, rocket-propelled grenades and more than 800 bullets of various sizes and calibers.

Bullets ranged from small sizes such as for handguns, to large caliber bullets.

Weirdly, though, among all the deadly ammunitions that Liu collected, he only had one gun – and a replica at that.

After checking the collection, police said it is highly destructive. They then confiscated the said collection of weapons and ammunition.

However, they did not release any detail regarding Liu's reasons for having such dangerous weaponry.

Liu has beeb accused of the illegal possession of firearms and ammunition. He has been detained by the Tiexi Public Security bureau.

The case is still under investigation.

Liaoning's Fake Guns

Apparently, Liu is not the only man in Liaoning who has a fake gun.

Back in 2014, a man in Huludao city tried to steal money from a bank. He reportedly shot a bank worker who was carrying a bag of money – with an air gun.

He could not make his way with his loot, however, as the bag appeared too heavy for him to carry alone. He was caught by authorities.
