I have never seen the term "arsenal" used in the ATF regulations, other than referring to facilities that manufacture weapons for the military- those are called arsenal by the military- "Rock Island Arsenal" or "Springfield Arsenal". FWIW, the ATF regulates the the manufacture, sale, and transfer of firearms- they do not license how MANY firearms you may own.

I DO see the term "arsenal" used by people in the news media that seem to have no idea of its meaning- as when they report that police found an "arsenal" in someone's house- 3 rifles, and a dozen boxes of ammunition. That is not an arsenal, nor is it a good sized collection!
