Dale Cregan's killings of David Short and PCs Nicola Hughes and Fiona Bone are the first time hand grenades have been used as murder weapons in Great Britain.
Following Cregan's conviction it can be reported that on 3 June Greater Manchester Police found 10 grenades at an address in Oldham, believed to be the rest of his supply.
At Cregan's trial, a witness told the court that at one time the killer had had a bag of around 20 hand grenades.
Firearms experts have told the BBC that while criminal possession of grenades is rare, some are still on the streets.
Figures from the National Bomb Data Centre at Scotland Yard show that between January 2008 and September 2011 police recovered 42 grenades.
