This is great to know how secure things are.

They should make it illegal to steal weapons of war.

Obviously planted by NPR to make a story.

Exactly. Finder's keepers

 

[dsdmmat]

Never heard of an armor piercing grenade.

 

[1075tech]

40mm for the M203? Or more like a small mortar or RPG maybe? Idk

Here you go

M430 HEDP (high-explosive, dual-purpose)

Just never heard it called armor piercing before.

Sounds scarier than just "go boom really loud"

Yeah. Lots of big, scary, boomy words used in the article to make it seem like somebody left a couple of tactical nukes in the guys backyard. Not even sure why they evacuated houses either. If I'm not mistaken, those grenades get tossed around the inside of tanks and APCs. Never heard of them going off with rough handling.

Why can't I find shit like this?

$32k(seems fair), and tell me where you want to 'find' them.

"I was scared". He's the type that would be scared if he found a gun because he'd think it would just go off all by itself and shoot him. It's not like this was XO buried in the ground for decades.

WTF ... David Chipman lost more shit and there just finding it ..

 

[repete]

I just can't believe the failures of all the safety protocols! And then just pass the buck.

 

[fresch]

I got lumber! Wink wink.

Yep if they are DP these can pierce about 2" or armor as well as make a bad day for anything in a 5 meter radius.

Here you go

These are high velocity 40mm for the MK19, not low velocity the M203.

 

[Robin]

High velocity, must not be for the old M79, more like a hand held mortar.

Then along came "Mothers little helper", probably can't use it there either

Do they even still use those things?

Another take on this from BCE. You might not like his style, but he has a valid point regarding certain 3 letter agencies.

Crap! I didn't even notice that it happened in 2018! Talk about digging up old stuff for the scare tactics. The guy is right though. You can bet they've been watching that train waiting for some idiot to try and break into it. Must be nothings happened yet so they for and drum up some business.

It always look like they flipped the stock upside down on the M79 and nobody wanted to say anything so they went with it.

Thats what he got after he planted 22LR in his garden.

 

[Deplorable Me]

Are they available at Phantom Fireworks?
