Armory
(Redirected from Armoury)
An armory is a military depot used for the storage of weapons and ammunition. The term may also apply to an area within a building, used for the storage of weapons.
In the United States, armory may refer to the building that a National Guard unit trains from in peacetime.
In a typical armory, ammunition is stored under separate lock and key from weapons to minimize the potential for misuse and improve safety. Alarm systems are also extensively used.
