Maybe some mooslim wedding party was on a picnic there and left behind one of their “utensils”?

"We are concerned with the fact that a live piece of equipment was found on the side of the road and we have to determine how it came to be there,"

Well, it IS deer season........

Anybody who has ever shot those will agree, the side of the road is the best place for one.

Army Transportation Corps veterans have an annual reunion called “The Gathering”. Among the veterans are reenactors, one group is composed of old Viet Nam gun truckers. They convoy to the site in old surplus 5 ton trucks complete with sheet metal armor, Ma Deuce machine guns and miniguns. They get a few strange looks.

I want the Sledgehammer version that he has in the photo and clip below that can level whole buildings. One of my favorite comedies ever!

You might want to think twice about that, the round produces a back blast area of about 50 ft and generates temperatures in the 1400 degree range. Not only will it blow your clothes off it will cook your keister in the process.

Maybe Bruce Cockburn should be contacted:

Here comes the helicopter — second time today
Everybody scatters and hopes it goes away
How many kids they’ve murdered only God can say
If I had a rocket launcher...I’d make somebody pay

I don’t believe in guarded borders and I don’t believe in hate
I don’t believe in generals or their stinking torture states
And when I talk with the survivors of things too sickening to relate
If I had a rocket launcher...I would retaliate

On the Rio Lacantun, one hundred thousand wait
To fall down from starvation — or some less humane fate
Cry for guatemala, with a corpse in every gate
If I had a rocket launcher...I would not hesitate

I want to raise every voice — at least I’ve got to try
Every time I think about it water rises to my eyes.
Situation desperate, echoes of the victims cry
If I had a rocket launcher...Some son of a bitch would die

That missing phrase is probably the only thing that saved him :-)

What a putz! Hint, doofus: it’s just as dangerous behind as in front!

This is only 15 miles or so from my house. Dang, I wish I had found it first. At least it wouldn’t be destroyed for no reason, and I’d have fun with it. Once. But that tree that’s been annoying me at the reservoir wouldn’t be there anymore...

Stop profiling. It could have been left by an Amish family passing through.

I’d be happy to settle for an M2 .50 on a turret.

Could also come in quite handy at 3:00 in the morning when some inconsiderate bozo drives his boom-car, crap music a-thumping, thru the neighbourhood ...

Ditto that for the Harley's.
