I thought those Stingers had a chip in them that timed out, they "expired" in case they got into the wrong hands. We could reset them but no one else could?
Edit: Your brother looks like he'd know what to do with a tactical shovel...

I'm not unfamiliar with weapons, and I'm actually a pretty good shot.
What disgusts me about you guys with big guns and tiny penises is that none of you seem to have the moral intelligence to realize that those on the receiving end of your "cool" ordnance are frequently old men, women, and children.
May the ghosts of Sandy Hook haunt you to your graves.
Over and out. I have better things to do with my time than waste it attempting to help you develop a sense of human decency.

The Laser stuff is hard to market since there's no boom... promising stuff though. Hard to get more precise than light.
Although I'm still a fan of the old WWII era massive artillery on naval ships. Good Lord that must have been a sight on D-Day...

Tad - nice photo of the photo your "uncle" has hanging in his garage.
On another note, has anybody tried one of the new laser-guided syringes that are all the rage now down in Baja for shooting smack? They look kind of psychodelic too.

I don't know Tad, Ron Anderson may have an opinion on the legality of it.
I don't know what that thing is but, I did find this from 2007 about Federal Laws and NY.
Under federal law, niether the M72 LAAW tubes nor the AT4 Dragon tubes are controlled items. They don't even come close to fitting the definiton of a firearm under 18USC CH44 921, or as either a firearm or destructive device under 26USC CH53 5845. Bear in mind, that's fedceral law...the United States Code. New York state law may be a whole other ball of wax as to whether or not they're allowed in NY. (But I'll bet dollars to donuts they're verboten in NYC.)

Seattle 2013
http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Latest-News-Wires/2013/0128/Seattle-gun-buyback-nets-Stinger-missile-launcher-video
Seattle police are tracking down the history of a nonfunctional missile launcher that showed up at a weapons buyback program.
Detective Mark Jamieson says a man standing outside the event on Saturday bought the military weapon for $100 from another person there. The single-use device had already been used. It's a launch tube assembly for a Stinger portable surface-to-air missile.
He says detectives will notify the Army Criminal Investigation Command on Monday.

"I know a guy who has something illegal" is a lot different than "I have something illegal."
nobody gives a sh#t about the rocket launcher.
ZBrown, I suggest to Tad's brother NOT to take the missile launcher to one of those 'give your gun away' events.

I know a lot of those hand held launchers are single use weapons. The TOW missile for example, so once fired the launcher is inert. Is that true of the stinger?

I wonder how many of those laser syringes you could get in a swap with some uninformed (not uniformed) Baja American wannabe drug enforcer for that launcher?
Que sabe?
In any event if a uniformed policeman either Baja American or Upper Baja American comes to your door, do not put your head down and charge him like a futbol/football player.

Actually somebody did that at a recent LA gun buyback. Got himself $200 for an inert single use launcher tube. Later our genius Chief of Police Beck was parading around on TV showing how they got a rocket launcher out of circulation.
Has anyone figured out that these "no questions asked" gun buybacks actually pay criminals to get rid of hot guns used in shootings? Idiocy. Plain and simple.
On top of that these guys get paid $200 to spend on ammo for the guns they have that work.

Fear: Although I'm still a fan of the old WWII era massive artillery on naval ships. Good Lord that must have been a sight on D-Day... Spent a year six-on-six-off in a 1938 5"-38 gun mount and fed it several tens of thousands of rounds till we were deaf - a sight, just not a pleasant one from either end.

Maybe it's not a case of whether you have 'em, but rather how you use them.
I do not have exact pricing, but $200 would buy an awful lot of laser syringes. How much does smack cost these days? Or is smack now passe'?

OK, I know I'm on thin ice here, (air pocked and brittle).
But, it seems to me, in the universe, there are, when it boils down, 2 basic things; pluses and minuses, darkness or light, yin and yang, construction, deconstruction, these things exist. Life itself can be and is overwhelming, with much feed back, continuing demands, counter intuitive situations, craziness of our times...
The simplicity of climbing has an allure, an elegance I'm drawn to; the urge to do battle with myself, not to destroy, rather to reconstruct. None bested but me, thru struggle and focus, taking movement to the boundaries of friction and power. This is at least for me, creative and difficult , I feel we can agree. "If it was easy, every body would be doing it..." of course.
Climbing is our common vocabulary, the binder that brought us to this site.
Blowing things up, destroying, deconstructing, this is all around us, a part of the human condition , an easy act, no contest.
Does one need to dilute or confuse this climbing forum with such negative aspects of human expression? Aren't there plenty of other places to talk about that?
This, of course, may all be contested, argued; however, aren't we here to celebrate climbing? Talk amongst yourselves... I'm verklemmt.

life is a bivouac: Lots of luck with your admirable sentiments. These guys don't care that these weapons are designed to kill people, or even that the human beings on the receiving end of this firepower are often innocent non-combatants.
It doesn't even seem to embarrass them that this is a particularly tasteless time to be drooling over the latest instruments of death when we are supposed to enjoying a celebration of the birth of The Prince of Peace.
