I can only laugh at the stupidity for carrying that in public but its looks like a Havoc-STZ 37mm flare launcher.

What sort of an idiot uses a FDE rear sight on a black gun. That’s as bad as socks with sandals. Geez.

Grenade Launcher w/o Grenades = Useless

The M16 w Grenade Launcher was a great weapon.

My training with it was limited, but the thought of using the fairly complicated sight while under fire was certainly intimidating.

The question is.. what's the charge ?
The article is BS because that's not a grenade launcher; it's a 37mm flare gun that is designed to appear like a 40mm grenade launcher. Is that even illegal in NYC ? Looking for actual answers, not pointless "everything is illegal in NYC" answers without reference.

"you can't carry that weapon here"

"it's not a weapon, it's a signaling device to call for help in an emergency"

"you shot him in the face"

"it was an emergency, and you guys showed up, so I guess it works"

Grenade launchers are illegal? Fire up the backhoe!

Man with grenade launcher, bulletproof vest arrested in the Bronx: NYPD

Police arrested a Bronx man on Thursday for allegedly walking down the street wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying a grenade launcher, the NYPD said.

1010wins.radio.com

Cruz, who lives in the neighborhood, was arrested soon after, the NYPD said. He faces charges including criminal possession of a weapon and violation of local law, according to police.

Following Cruz' arrest, the NYPD said it obtained a search warrant and found a shotgun, firearm receivers, drill bits, manufacturing tools, a firearm manufacturing template, a shotgun barrel and stock, a hatchet and glock parts inside his apartment.

If his receivers are 80% not milled, or legit registered lowers (not assembled) and his shotgun is registered they have no case. None of that is illegal nor are drill bits, glock parts (if its not 80% milled frame), manufacturing templates or a hatchet.

Coast Guard has told one of my co-workers that if NYPD finds a pistol style flare gun on your boat in NY harbor you will be charged with weapons possession

 

[DrBleachCocktail]

37mm is legal and is not a firearm, other than stupidity what laws has he broken?

That would be a tough fight on their part. To try to charge me with a crime for adhering to Coastguard Regs while transiting a navigable waterway. I'm in NYC waters all the time. I believe your coworker is mistaken.

Im gonna go out in a limb , considering you cant have a bb gun in NYC im gonna say a flare gun is a no go too.

Was most likely a social distancing violation with a Karen.

I love when they list all the random shit they find....oh no he had a hatchet

Serious though this guy was asking for trouble, if he didn’t realize that I question his judgment.
