Three of the 333 firearms handed over during a seven-hour buyback conducted by Springfield police on Saturday were deemed by officers to be assault weapons.
Officer Richard Rodrigues said one of the weapons was a Chinese model, another resembled an AR-15 and the third was a Hi-Tec.
Each one of those weapons netted $100 worth of VISA gift cards for those who turned them in. Information on the specific models was not immediately available.
