NJ woman finds rocket launcher on lawn
    #7203323 -

I've heard of putting for sale signs in people's yards.. but never this:


Feds Seize Rocket Launcher In N.J.
AT-4 Launcher Found On Jersey City Lawn
Scott Weinberger
Reporting

(CBS) JERSEY CITY A Jersey City woman made a shocking discovery on her lawn this morning when she noticed a military rocket launcher lying in the grass.

Niranjana Besai was leaving her house, located at 88 Nelson Street, to go to work just after 8 this morning when she spotted the launcher on her front lawn. "I read it and it [said] 'missile,'" Besai told CBS 2 HD. "There was little 'missile' [writing] on it."

She immediately called police.

Sources tell CBS 2 HD that the device is an AT-4 missile launcher that is used to fire against tanks and buildings. The device was first approved by the U.S. Army in 1985 and questions are being raised as to whether the device was stolen from a branch of the military.

Its very powerful warheads can penetrate through well over a foot of armor.

What's more troubling, sources add, is that Besai's house is located along flight path for Newark Liberty International Airport.

Besai's neighbor, Joe Quinn, saw her pointing at the device from her front porch. When he walked over to see what the fuss was about, he was just as shocked to see weapon, said to be about three or four feet long and weighing about 15 pounds.

"She's pointing that there's something in the front," he told CBS 2 HD. "I said, 'Let me come down and take a look,' and I saw a little soldier on it and I said, 'Whoa, that's a missile launcher or something!'"

Quinn says he originally thought the launcher was just a pipe, but after noticing the picture of the soldier -- which he described as a soldier kneeling, holding the launcher -- he realized it looked similar to a missile launcher he'd seen on television. "I got scared myself," he says. "It looked like a bazooka, and right away you think what does somebody want with something like that?"

Jersey City Police removed the launcher, and the incident is now being investigated by the Joint Terrorism Task Force and the FBI.

Sources say Besai is not involved in the investigation as a suspect. "I don't think it was hers, they're nice people," Quinn said.

Jersey City Police could not confirm whether the device was actually operable, however an AT-4 can apparently only be used once. If it had been fired previously, than it would not be operable any longer.

I wonder if you can re-enable and use an AT-4. But you can kill yourself with the backblast if you do it with a wall behind you lol.

I dont think so. I'm pretty sure if it's spent, then it's spent. But, you never know...you could probably make a bong or something out of it....that'd be cool...

Technically, yes you culd re-use it, but there isn't much of a point. I've fired a few of these back in my Army days and I can tell you first hand there really isn't much to them. The only thing you would really need to re-use it is another rocket. The rest is basically a glorified PVC tube with a thin sheet of rubber covering each end to keep water out.

There exists one lie that is the absolute worst. A lie that has successfully infiltrated many of the Western governments. This lie is Christianity, and it must be fought in every way, shape and form. Burn the churches and kill the priests. The abomination that is Christianity must be wiped from this Earth.

Maybe they're filling ammunition and weapons cargo planes just a little too full these days?

The fire has many things to teach.
But so does the human experience.. which is like fire, sometimes you just need to stoke the coals and sometimes you just need to add a log or reposition the log matrix. But a well built fire will be much more self-sustaining than a poorly built one, and they all need love to grow. And don't fuck around or your might burn yourself. Must always respect the fire. - Shroomism
