San Fran gun surrender nets "anti-tank weapon"

[DispositionMatrix]

Anti-tank weapon turned in at San Francisco gun buyback

"We got a bazooka off the streets. We got a cannon ball off the streets. We got assault rifles. We got everything that you can name that could destroy a whole universe and we get rid of them within hours," he told ABC7 News.

Buyback organizers added that the event succeeded because of its "no questions asked" policy for people who surrender guns.

Looks like someone swung by the Army Navy store on the way to the gun surrender.

Spent AT4 someone snagged as a souvenir? Highly doubt it was live.

those are made to be tossed after one use. the thing was probably fired and someone scooped it and brought it back somehow.

I saw that last night, the "trained professionals" identified spent AT4 tube as a "bazooka"

 

[EddieA]

At least they got a "cannon ball" off the street, far too many crimes committed with those!

Yeah. I think that is pretty much understood by everyone except for the regular consumers of San Franscisco media content. SFPD is, of course, either lying or has no knowledge of the subject matter. PDs all over the country do these stunts--each probably keeping one in a closet to drag out for each gun surrender to scare the public into thinking gun surrenders keep them safe.

Too much effort. Probably bought as a trinket at a store.

The way the "trained professional" is handling the weapon I hope it's been fired and empty !!

Not reloadable and the empty tube is not considered a firearm to the best of my knowledge.

There are at least three for sale on eBay right now. I wonder what SF is paying?

Fun trivia the rocket projectile is 84mm therefore the Military designated it an "AT-4". Get it?

 

[Sprocket]

All the kids in my office think “bazooka” is. A Kind of gum

I doubt that he's ever given up custody of a donut.

For Christ's sake it's an already fired AT4. Every infantry national guard armory has 4-5 of em kicking around for training purposes. Can get em on eBay.

Not reloadable......fire and toss.

These people writing these stories suck.

On a side note.......I've fired one live one in training.......cool as hell!!!

maybe a good idea depending on what they cost on Ebay to buy several and turn them in at the next buy back for a profit

 

[Drix]

I was looking for ammo for this but it seems like 84mm was sold out at TS, anyone know if I can pick some up at Brownells? Asking for a friend.

Wait. Isn't this sorta the plot for Dirty Harry III??????

I think they trot out this same tube at every buyback in SF. I wonder if the state of CA has a few they loan out for fear mongering purposes.

You really need to get a Carl Gustaf if you want to get into reloading 84mm.

 

[Chevy 2 65]

OMG !!!! That is so dangerous !!! Thank you San Fransisco police !! you are keeping us safe.

 

[TC McQuade]

Next NES get together maybe they will loan the AT4 to us. We can fire it off as long as we are 500+ feet from residential properties. Time to get back to reality.....
