SHOCKING footage shows the moment a shirtless man charges out of his flat with a shotgun ready to point it at his neighbour.
Billy Price, 46, was found to have a hoard of weapons in his house, one of which he used to cause fear of violence in an argument over the volume of his neighbour's music.
Price was sentenced to six years' imprisonment and a four-year extended licence period at Cardiff Crown Court.
He admitted to possessing a prohibited firearm and possessing a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.
Price pleaded not guilty to possessing explosives but was found guilty of this after a trial.

Footage released by Gwent Police shows Price, shirtless, running out of his flat in Newport, with the gun.
An unnamed man can then be seen on body-worn footage approaching a police officer and saying: "I've had a phone call saying a guy... got a rifle on my brother.
"I've just gone to his flat and haven't got any answers."
After a clip of Price being arrested on suspicion of affray he is seen being questioned by police in custody.
He is asked: "There's nothing in there that's gonna cause an explosion... there's nothing in there that's going to cause anybody..." as he interrupts: "Well why don't you send the Army to find out?" and: "No comment, no comment."
When cops raided his home they found a stash of weapons including a sword, a flail, and three homemade petrol bombs.
One, in a photo released by police, appears to have a wick made from a pair of underpants.
At trial he argued, unsuccessfully, that he was using the jars to store petrol after a jerry can broke.
Saying Price was a dangerous offender with a fascination with weapons Judge Paul Hobson sentenced him and ordered the forfeiture of his weapons.
He said: "The facts of these offences speak for themselves in terms of the level of risk that you pose."

In mitigation, defence counsel Tom Roberts said the shotgun was loaded but not fired.
Mr Roberts added that there was “little to no planning” in the incident with the neighbour.
He argued that his client had a “fascination” with firearms rather than an intention to use them and that his history of offending was largely non-violent.
Gwent Police detective chief inspector Matthew Edwards said after the sentencing: "Price is a dangerous man who has an infatuation with weapons and a blasé attitude.
"Weapons owned with the intent to cause harm or fear will not be tolerated in Gwent and we hope today's sentencing reminds others that we take all reports of weapons extremely seriously.
"If you have any information of weapons being owned or supplied in Gwent please call us on 101 or DM us.
"Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
