Made To Kill: Britain’s Secret Homemade Arsenals & Assassination Kits

In the UK criminal underworld, acquiring factory firearms is notoriously difficult—forcing organised crime syndicates to manufacture their own deadly firepower. In this documentary, we investigate two of the most dangerous domestic weapons operations ever dismantled by British police: 00:00 - Case 1: The Nottingham Slam Gun Syndicate How 33-year-old Christopher Jones ran a commercial drug ring protected by crude, improvised pipe shotguns costing just £40 to build—leading to the largest slam gun seizure in Nottinghamshire history. 08:58 - Case 2: The Derbyshire Assassination Kit Factory Behind a suburban home in Alfreton, 64-year-old Ronald Knowles mass-produced complete 'assassination kits'—converted silenced handguns, expanding 9mm ammunition, and latex gloves—brokered to gangland syndicates by convicted drugs general Gary Hardy.
