armoury
Military storage facility
Armoury is the British spelling of armory—a place where weapons and military equipment are stored, or a collection of such equipment.
By extension, an armoury is any stock of resources or techniques available for use: She deployed her full armoury of rhetorical tricks.
In North America, an armory may also be a building used by military reserve units for training and drill.
