They said officers on patrol saw the man get out of a car in a driveway in Chisholm, but he did not enter the house.
"The officers saw an improvised projectile device inside the car, and found the man crouching behind the vehicle in the carport," they said in a statement.
Police did not elaborate on what the device was.
"When police searched the vehicle they located another improvised projectile device, shotgun rounds, drugs, knuckle dusters, and a 'gel blaster' that had been modified to look like a handgun," they said.
They also discovered there were two outstanding warrants against the man. He was arrested and is expected to face the ACT Magistrates Court on Tuesday morning.
