BLADE Runner Oscar Pistorius's dramatic bail hearing heard the Paralympic champ had applied for SIX firearms, including a semi-automatic assault rifle and THREE shotguns.
His other applications, still pending, were for a Mossberg 12-gauge shotgun, a Maverick 12-gauge shotgun and two Smith & Wesson revolvers – a .500 and .38 Special.
But any charge of violent crime makes it unlikely that firearm licences will be granted.
However, prosecutors accuse Pistorius of murdering his girlfriend following a heated row.
The athlete grabbed a gun, attached his prosthetic legs and walked seven metres before shooting dead his girlfriend as she cowered in a bathroom, prosecutor Gerrie Nel said.
Gun fanatic Pistorius surrounded himself with weapons inside his gated mansion in crime-ridden South Africa.
The security-obsessed athlete was known to sleep with a pistol next to his bed, a machine gun by a window, and with cricket and baseball bats behind the door.
Double amputee Pistorius explained in one interview how his disability made him especially vulnerable to an attack, saying: “When I’m in bed and don’t have my legs on, I know there’s nothing I can do if someone breaks in.”
His mansion is surrounded by wired fencing, 10ft high walls and cameras while guards patrol the grounds.
This morning in court, prosecutors said Pistorius was heard "non-stop" arguing with his model girlfriend on the night that he shot her dead.
