Gardai say the GNTB will not carry out a technical examination of the guns.
Assistant Commissioner John O’Driscoll, Organised and Serious Crime says the operation "reflects the Garda Síochána's unrelenting efforts in tackling serious and organised crime."
He says it also highlights their "determination to keep people safe from those who would use firearms to endanger life."
