The level of the road doesn't matter, a ricochet could go in any direction and still be lethal at one mile. Who ever they are if they have the slightest knowledge of the firearms act they would know they are out of order, if it is an illegal firearm then those three are bloody idiots. AND silencers also need special permits.
Strikes me that some one could be selling an illegal rifle, and the buyer wanted to try it out. Those photo's need to be handed over to the plod pronto.
