Anthony Horrocks, 20, faces at least five years in prison after he uploaded mobile phone footage of him loading the weapons with bullets before riding around on an off-road bike.Firearms officers identified Horrocks through his username - Motox - and raided his home a week later in January where they found the guns and 200 rounds of ammunition.He was later arrested and was today found guilty by a jury of possessing a prohibited firearm and three counts of possessing ammunition without the correct authority.Horrocks said he had agreed to look after the two pistols because he thought it was 'glamorous' to hang out with professional hoodlums in his home city of Manchester.The court was told Horrocks had posted several streams of video footage on the YouTube.com website last December.One of the video streams showed him riding an unregistered motocross motorbike along an alleyway and into a back garden and pulling wheelies.In the same footage a pair of unidentified gloved hands were shown handling what appear to be two semi-automatic handguns and the loading of a magazine with what appear to be bullets.
