THIS is the terrifying moment a drug dealer, who has been caught with a loaded gun, tells stunned cops, "it's real bro, be careful".

Sepehr Yousefali, 22, had been stopped by police along with David Meti, also 22, in Bristol after their black BMW was suspected of having cloned number plates.

The pair were pulled out of the car and searched - leading to the shock discovery.

Bodycam footage, later released by Avon and Somerset police, shows Yousefali telling astonished cops that he has a gun tucked in the waistband of his trousers.

An incredulous officer asks the dealer whether the gun is real and if it is loaded.

Yousefali responds: "It's real bro. What do you think I'm telling you?
"It's loaded, innit. So just be careful."

The shocked officer replies: "Jesus Christ. Right no messing fella."
While wearing handcuffs with his arms up, Yousefali even offers to show the officers how to make the weapon safe.

He says: "It's not got a safety on it, look it's been drilled. Take it out and I'll show you how to make it safe. Just press, press."

The officer rejects the offer, telling him: "No no, I'm not touching it."

After undertaking further searches, cops also found a machete between the driver seat and the door, where Meti was sitting.

And, two carrier bags of drugs including cocaine, cannabis, MDMA, and ketamine, were discovered - with an estimated street value of £6,000.

The gun was later confirmed to be a converted 9mm blank firing handgun and was loaded with four rounds of ammunition.

Both men pleaded guilty to the events on October 2 last year.

Charges included possession with intent to supply class A and class B drugs.

Yousefali also admitted possessing a firearm, while Meti pleaded guilty to possession of a knife and using a motor vehicle without third party insurance.

Last week, Yousefali was jailed for eight years and nine months at Bristol Crown Court - while Meti was jailed for four years.

Detective Inspector Nicholas Lawson, of Avon and Somerset Police, said the pair had been cynically targeting nightlifers in the city.

She said: "It is clear from the weapons Yousefali and Meti had in their possession that they had the potential to cause serious harm.

";The pair were transporting a significant amount of illegal drugs, that no doubt would have ended up on the streets of Bristol had officers not wisely taken the proactive action to stop the vehicle.

"Our enquiries found they were deliberately targeting people who enjoy Bristol's night-time economy and seeking to profit from the misery that such substances cause."
