    Maybe that's what the dong patches represented after all?

    I don't know what the big deal is, I've got a grenade launcher and an arsenal nearly 10% the size of their seizure and I don't consider myself a gun nut

    Re: They had a rocket launcher - was it for charity runs?

    That’s an M72 LAW [Light Anti Tank Weapon] launcher. They’re around, what the report didn’t say was if it had a live projectile, training (inert) projectile, or just the launcher. We trained with them in the Army in the early 80’s, but no one had any confidence they would stop any Russian armor. They were out of production for many years until the USMC ordered an updated version in 2011 for use as a breaching weapon in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    If they had the updated version with rocket, that is a big deal because they could blow a hole in most buildings and maybe even a bank vault.

    Kind of like Al Pacinos low level gang in Donnie Brasco breaking open parking meters.

    Glad I locked up my Scotts lawn spreader.

    The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a rocket launcher is a good guy with a rocket launcher.
