Are the AT4( I think that is what the big one is) and LAW tubes even reloadable ??
I know they are just something someone picked up as memorabilia but CNN makes it out like they were a " big deal"
Saw a post about it on Facebook. Apparently people are going apeshit about "grenade launchers" being turned in in a buy back program in Las Angeles. In reality they were AT-4 training tubes (just an empty fiberglass tube that looks evil... can't be reloaded and is entirely harmless).
1. Are people really stupid enough to freak out over a training device?
2. Kudos to whoever got the govt to pay them for something comparable to a PVC pipe.
Too slow.......http://www.ar-15.co/threads/78665-Ro...t-gun-buy-back.
gotcha by mere seconds! LOL
I wonder if I can get a $200 grocery card for my spud gun....
What made me sad was adding up the value of all the AR's on the table .... I could buy a modest house ( in colorado) with the sales of those
Those are one time use launchers. More than likely someone took them after some type of live fire exercise to keep as a souvenir.
I have a friend who works for LAPD and he used to be on the gun task force that's responsible for handling this buy back. He says its nothing more than a BS political scheme that does nothing. All of the people who turn in guns are libs who usually acquired the guns because a relative passed away and left their collection. Many of the guns have to be x rayed and in some cases charged with C4 to ensure the chamber is cleared, apparently most are rusted out antiques. Last year only one gun turned in was a crime gun and due to the no questions asked policy they couldn't follow up on it as a lead.
Poor SPAS-12 I wanted it!
No kidding. A trip to Home Depot and a guy could mass produce those.Quote:
