The man accused in last month's security breach at Rideau Hall was not only allegedly carrying a small arsenal of weapons, but had a significant amount of ammunition, according to newly released RCMP documents. RCMP documents obtained by CBC News itemize the weapons, including a Chinese-made knock-off of the American M-14 rifle, two shotguns, a High Standard revolver and four tactical knives. The list also includes the ammunition, both within the loaded weapons and in reserve. Most of it — 405 rounds of .308-calibre ammunition — would have fed the semi-automatic rifle, which is prohibited in Canada and made by the state-owned Chinese weapons-maker Norinco. What makes the weapon significant is that its rounds can penetrate standard bullet-proof vests.
