Children found playing with missile launcher

A shoulder-fired missile launcher has been handed in to New York police after a passer-by spotted children playing with it in the street.

The weapon - which did not contain a missile - was spotted by an unidentified pedestrian who took it to Brooklyn's 62nd Precinct station.

The NYPD Bomb Squad was called, determined the launcher was inoperable and safe, because once it is used, it cannot be reloaded and used again.

Detectives say a US soldier brought the weapon back from the war in Iraq and gave it to a friend, who ended up throwing it away with the rubbish, where the children found it.

Despite reassurances from the police, many residents in the area say they are worried about the discovery.

Sure beats the fuck out of them old Rock Em Sock Em robots. Or Hungry Hungry Hippos.

Man..... just imagine a large dispersed group of anonymous looking people with RPGs in NYC....

Or even just standing right outside an airport... :(

that is pretty scarry

Only In America!!:Graucho

God the media will jump on anything, and you guys belive the hype ..lol

dude even I had my own "used" rocked launcher when I was a kid.. fuck you could only use them once.. it's the simple one made out of fiberglass.. once used it's thrown away.. the Kids were in no danger and neither was anyone else...

freeking media :321GFY

I suppose I should keep quiet about my friend who has a WWII vintage anti aircraft gun in his barn.

i have grenades with the core taken out

you can get a lot of that shit from army surplus stores

that would surely sell some $$$ at ebay:thumbsup

why would anyone throw a rocket launcher away? I'd sell it

they used to be a dime a dozen.. same with the gernades with out cores.. just go to some hick town with a army surpluss store.. you can find all the cool stuff you ever wanted when you were a kid :BangBang:

It's nothing new, the news crew just saw a story and are milking it for all they can.

the thin lines are everywhere :(

Oh my god.... that is scary as hell. Sure it is inoperable. But it is the premise.

my question is: why did a passer by find the kids playing with it? where were the kid's parents?

Very interesting game to be playing with

what a waste of cow milk

It's a wonder B*sh didn't move us to orange and start a new war. D*mned street urchins have weapons of mass destruction and MUST be stopped at all costs!!

The sight of children playing with RPG's is not a pleasant one.
