6 kalashnikovs is being described as a heavy cache of arms? This might be an appropriate description is the place in question was Paris where it is totally rare for civilians to have arms but not for Peshawar where people proudly say 'Asla mera zevar hai' and aerial firing even happens at weddings and celebrations.
