That's fucking hilarious. Not 100% it was a M72 LAW, but I think it was what my Father had in one of his Olive Drab Lockers in the Garage back in the 60's. Thing was fun as hell to play with. San Francisco, go figure. Next they'll be buying back spent cases and then there goes brass prices......... HOMO'Sapiens.
I wonder what they gave for that expended AT4? Years ago I traded one of those and a TOW tube to a guy at Penske in exchange for overlooking some pretty nasty damage to my moving rental. He was ecstatic and my old lady had prohibited them in the new house anyway. I should've traded her and kept that shit instead.
Yeah, because that cannonball was a real danger to anyone other than the person who dropped it on their foot...idiots.
Hey! But everybody out there "feels good" and thinks they're really solving a problem. Dumb bastards.
Or a fucking shotput. I'll bet any goddamn thing it's a shotput.
A goddamn cannon ball and a bazooka. Who did this fucking "buyback"? Wile E. Coyote?
And yeah, anyone that'll take $200 for a working semi auto high capacity rifle is probably the one that stole it.
FWIW, they DO sell 9mm tracer conversions for those for training so technically you COULD kill someone with it, though there are easier ways. I saw one for sale recently but don't know anything about 'em other than they're boring as shit. Live 84mm rockets are a lot of fun though. Putting out wildfires for the next week, not so fun.
Over a year ago here in Mpls., a guy taped a pipe to a board and got $100 for it. I was standing next to him in line, it was hilarious. MPD thought it was funny too, and they mocked the whole buy back thing as being stupid. All the MPD guys just stood around talking guns with people and cracking jokes about how pointless the whole charade was. News story here:

It was a great day. Hundreds of OFWGs selling a ton of old junk for cash, I made out real well. For those wondering, it was not city funded. It was funded by a church or some non-profit...don't recall which one.

I saw this travesty on NBC Nightly News. It was one of their main stories and they trumpeted it as a "Gun Control Victory" They proudly showed the "Bazooka" in the hands of an officer...and in another shot they showed it haphazardly tossed into a van sitting on a pile of other buybacks. It was immediately evident that this was an expended AT-4 tube. But the damage was done...another nationally advertised plea for gun control. This is flat out propaganda, disinformation, and the very definition of "Fake News". The FCC should make them publicly announce a correction. Write your Congressman!
"The buyback had a strict “no-questions-asked” policy as part of the encouragement to give up guns and was organized by the San Francisco police department and the violence prevention group called “United Playaz,” the San Francisco Chronicle reported."
United Playaz?!
United Playaz?!
Been holding my stockpile of Raven .25 autos and a couple of old hi-points for when this comes to my town...Unfortunately it'll probably be awhile...
I thought it was going to be an M72 LAW, guess I'm getting old
I don't know when we replaced them with the AT4, but they were long gone when I was in (90's). However, the Canadians still use them and the Carl G recoilless. I got to shoot both when I was overseas and I felt like a kid acting out Vietnam movies, only thing missing was an M79.
Our troops especially NSW still use them. Marines brought them back also. I think up to A7 now. People get rediculous over spent tubes..they make cool decoration though.
