Dramatic footage captures National Crime Agency officers as they begin the operation by boxing in the five men in their BMW.
Officers are heard shouting: "Armed police - stay where you are, on the ground! Get on the floor now! Put your hands in the air. Keep them there!"
After bundling one suspect from the car, another orders: "Get out, stay there, on your belly! Put your hands behind your back. Don't move."
Carl Brookes, 38, Richard Davis, 36, Callum Meah, 26, Jordan Feeney, 28, and Robert Clark, 32, all from Birmingham, were detained in the city's Kings Norton district in May.
Officers recovered a loaded handgun, ammunition, knives and sledgehammer from the gang, who were "dressed up and kitted out to do some harm".
The men received jail terms of five to seven years at Birmingham Crown Court on Thursday. Express.
Blogger: 15 to 20 year sentences were surely more appropriate. If we do not punish crime adequately - there is no possibility of deterrence.
