    Default Rocket launchers turned in at gun buy back ???

    http://www.cnn.com/video/?hpt=hp_c2#...-launchers.cnn


    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"

    Default "Grenade Launchers" turned in in LA buy back program

    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.

    Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    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.

    No kidding. A trip to Home Depot and a guy could mass produce those.
