A portion of the rocket launcher found in Hamilton was missing, making it inoperable and of no danger, Jones said.

Then how the heck can it be "scary" to you?

It would be interesting to know which ‘part’ was missing. Perhaps the thing was disassembled for smuggling? This article makes it sound as though this is some dusty old war relic, but check out the article where 10 pieces of the same model launcher were stolen in Australia.

Yeah, the portion that was missing was THE ROCKET. The article says it was a used tube.

Just an empty shell. The equivalent of finding an artillery round’s casing.

Oh no! A expended round! We need more gun control!
