Seattle gun buyback

[TheTrueMoron]

FWIW, Amazon was a big player in the donations (even though it was a minuscule amount compared to their revenue). http://www.kgw.com/news/local/Seattle-gun-buyback-draws-crowd-RPG-launcher-188499821.html

That's a very tempting reason for me to not support Amazon.

anybody else see this. Thought it was kinda funny

[Squirrely]

Yup. The stinger launch tube. Funny... once it's shot the tube is junk. So they got a dead tube.

 

Ha

Don't see what the big deal is- we gave Stingers to the Taliban to take out the Russians, why can't I have one too?

I have a lot of family that is military. My uncle was head of munitions for the air guard years ago. I remember him making two sidewinder missiles out of parts, dummy missles. He had them in his house for years before putting them in the shop at the guard.

 

I woud say the missiles were just as dangerous as the tube. Laughable

Yeah I visited a friend who just got out of the army a few weeks ago and he had some neat stuff that was inert- like the 30mm round from an Apache. And here I thought my .45 pistols fired a big round.

[Squirrely]

I got a 30mm from an A10 and a 20mm from a F16.

 

Cool stuff

^^^^^

How do they shoot & what does it cost per round??

My 50cal is very expensive to shoot that's why it stays locked up. Only fired 45 rounds through it so far.

I got a round from some big gun. Dont know what it is but i can tell you the bullet weights in at a pound and half. I cant even imagine what that could do at high velocity.

I just have the rounds. No cannon.

 

However, you can buy a 20mm rifle that shoots the same round as the F16. I want to say it was $20 a round to fire.... I'll have to look.

That would definately be fun to shoot!
