Nearly 200 firearms have been handed in to police stations across South Wales during an extended amnesty.
The surrender campaign ran from February to April following an "extremely positive" public response, according to South Wales Police.
Another 38 firearms were handed in during March and April at stations including Barry, Cardiff Central, Cardiff Bay and Bridgend.
They included three top-venting blank firers - which were recently made illegal following a change in UK Government legislation.
15 air weapons and BB guns were also surrendered along with a replica or antique firearm and an equal amount of ammunition and other accessories.
The initial campaign in February, held as part of a UK-wide amnesty, saw 160 items handed in for safe destruction - including 32 blank firers and six other illegal firearms.
DCI Chris Williams, gun crime lead for South Wales Police, said: "It’s been really encouraging to see the public support not only the initial national surrender campaign, but also the period which we extended locally."
"Fortunately, gun crime rates in south Wales remain extremely low, but recent events in our communities demonstrate just how devastating the consequences can be if firearms fall into the wrong hands."
“Our 'In the Wrong Hands' campaign is as much about raising awareness as it is removing firearms from our communities. It reminded licenced firearms holders to ensure they were still operating within the law, and also reminded our communities that even seemingly ‘harmless’ weapons such as a BB gun can be used to cause injury, incite fear or perpetrate serious offences."
"While gun crime rates do remain low in south Wales, we are committed to ensuring it remains that way and we will not be complacent."
"Although the campaign period has ended, the opportunity for the public to play their part to keep our communities safe has not. Weapons can be handed in at any point – there is no need to wait for a surrender period."
South Wales Police says firearms and other weapons can be handed into their stations at any time - and anyonw who surrenders items will be granted immunity for possession at the point of surrender.
But the force adds it does have an obligation to investigate the history of the firearm to identify whether it is linked to crime.
