She will have plenty of time for selfies.

A London woman who posed for a steamy picture with an AK-47 rifle between her legs was sentenced to 10 years in prison on Friday for her role in a sophisticated gun smuggling ring.

Caitlin Adams, 25, was one of six people convicted for their roles in the "illegal manufacture and supply of firearms and ammunition," London cops said.

Adams' boyfriend Ishmael Brown, despite being in prison at HMP Rochester, used an unauthorized cellphone from his cell to locate deactivated weapons and organize the "onward sale of the weapons to the criminal underworld," authorities said.

It was Adams who was responsible for collecting the weapons in the outside world and delivering them to a nearby workshop, where they would be reactivated.

"The sentencing of Caitlin Adams should serve as a warning to others of the grave consequences of storing and transporting guns for others," Officer Claire Gentles said.

In June, authorities arrested Aaron Shane Murray and Uzair Patel for possession of a firearm after stopping a minicab. Cops determined that Murray was buying weapons and reactivating them at the workshop.

The owner of the workshop, Bart Pawlowski, was soon arrested as well. Pawlowski used his skill as a metalworker and former soldier in the Polish army to reactivate the weapons, according to authorities.

Ehsen Abdul-Razak, who was also imprisoned at HMP Rochester, was arrested for helping Brown organize the sale of firearms.

At least 40 weapons were obtained by the gang in a six-month period last year, authorities said. Eight reactivated firearms have been recovered.

"This was a complex investigation targeting criminals both inside and outside of prison as part of the Met’s fight against gang and gun crime," Detective Inspector James Hale said. "We successfully collaborated with our colleagues in the prison service to recover the mobile phones and I would like to pay tribute to my detectives who have worked tirelessly to make communities safer and see this case to its successful conclusion."

Brown was sentenced to 12 years in prison, Pawlowski got 13 years, and Patel and Abdul-Razak received five years each. Murray has yet to be sentenced.

"The firearms and ammunition this gang converted had the potential to cause great harm on the streets of London and there is no doubt that the Capital is a safer place as a result of the network being dismantled," Gentles said.
