Another STG-44 turned in a buy back?

[Knicks]

Doesn't look like the 22 based on the magazine.
It's not mentioned in the article but is shown in the video ~35s

Could be a semi-auto, but it's hard to tell. I don't think someone would willing go into a buyback program with a walking felony. You never know though.

Stupid video kept cutting out on me but most of the guns looked like junk or antiques. Or antique junk. I'm sure Buffalo is a sh!tload safer for it- at least its residents don't have to worry about blowing themselves up with their crappy firearms.

Jfc I'd give my left but for a semi one .

 

[jron]

Not a GSG .22 semi-auto, and too beat up for Airsoft...





Some museum pieces headed for the smelter [sad2]....





Someone turned in some .22lr... that shit's like gold!

what was that little hk or mp5 looking gun at the end of the video?

 

[Bonesinium]

Don't worry guys. The nice stuff will end up in some fine officers private collection. Or it will be sold at a 100% profit.

The STG 44 looks real, but I'd bet it isn't for one reason. Its not cleared.

If you watch the video the cops seem to be following a pretty strict protocol of removing mags from the guns and putting a tie wrap through the action. This gun has a large mag still in it. Its in a pile of other guns with tiewraps in them. So my guess is that its some kind of a toy with a non-removable mag.

Just a thought.

Good observation. Another possibility though, is the mag is empty and they just put it back in that particular "assault weapon" for effect since it looks more killy with the mag attached...

Officer didnt want to lose the mag since the rifle is going home with him

 

[dcmdon]

Sure. Work it for the camera. It makes sense. Your guess is as good as mine. I'm hoping its not real.

How about that, I knew George the Animal Steele has a college degree, but I never knew he was a firearms instructor.

Nice to see he found something to keep him occupied after his wrestling career ended...

If it was genuine, and functional, they'd be making a big deal over it.

Or it's quasi real... as in a non-functioning DEWAT with the mag permanently attached.

Still a shame to see it destroyed if that were the case.

 

[beaker]

Call me crazy, but I would rather have that than to crush that bad boy... I think it is a real one.

what was that little hk or mp5 looking gun at the end of the video?

Looks like a UMP. Stock looked a little different but pretty close.

Maybe a usc the stupid American version.

That's a 1k plus gun so ... It was stolen , or airsoft cause no one in there righting who legally has one doesn't know what it is.
It's not some thing grand dad left behind after he passed .

Looks like it's in the BB/Pellet gun/Airsoft pile.

Looks like it's in the BB/Pellet gun/Airsoft pile.

Looks more like a mp5 toy missing some stuff on the right side.

Didn't catch the rest of the pile. I was hoping it was an airsoft

Agreed. It would be better than getting crushed/melted.

These Buffalo cops are pissing off Jesus with this crap. Lying, stealing and destroying perfectly good defensive weapons all in one fell swoop.

That looks like solid Ali receiver, similar to what Natick WWII museum has.

There is a difference in the foreguard color and the rest of the gun. Typically receivers go dark, sometimes Garand greenish dark or just plain weathered black. That looks like beatup Aluminum. Also the handgrip is recent manufacture, it's too perfect and not consistent with the rest of the rifle.

 

[Jsfitzgerald85]

does the mag look like it has screws through it? Or is that just some cosmetic feature of the mag?

 

[lowbuckbob]

Maybe it was a dewat wall hanger?
