Portuguese term

paiol de Exército

Portuguese to English Other Military / Defense
Hello everyone! Does "paiol de exército" mean "Army Depot" or "Army weapon storehouse"/ Army ammunition storehouse? Could any of these terms be used?

I am sorry but there is no context. It's a list of military terms.

Thanks for the help! :)

BOOM!!! NATO Arms dump In Scotland, at Coulport, we have the largest arsenal of nuclear bombs in Europe. We also have what is probably the largest store of conventional explosives -- 27,000 tons of it -- in the NATO arms dump in Glen Douglas.

army/military magazine

magazine (see link below):
a. A place where goods are stored, especially a building in a fort or a storeroom on a warship where ammunition is kept.
b. The contents of a storehouse, especially a stock of ammunition.

"Arms depot" is another term that could be used.
Peer comment(s):

agree Manuel Leite : Strictly speaking, you don't store arms in a "paiol", only ammunition and explosives, so "magazine" is the better option."

Thanks, Manuel!
agree Sheryle Oliver : Or in US English, Army munitions/ammunition depot. The original is about the Army, isn't it?
