Harrison had his sentence adjourned yesterday at Downing Centre Local Court for nine counts of possessing firearms, three counts of possessing prohibited weapons and two counts of possessing prohibited drugs at his Pyrmont unit.

Detectives from the firearms squad raided Harrison’s Bunn St unit in September last year, allegedly seizing nine Airsoft firearms including a replica AK47, Scorpion sub-machinegun, an L96 sniper rifle and a Glock pistol.

They also allegedly seized knuckle dusters, a homemade sling shot, 2.42g of ice and a small amount of oxycodone.

Airsoft weapons are made of plastic and low grade metal which shoot rubber pellets and are used in skirmish-style games similar to paintball.

The extremely realistic ­weapons are legal in many parts of the world however in most of Australia, including NSW, they are classified as firearms and are banned.

Harrison will be sentenced on February 1.
