Cali is turning around and selling that shite to make money. We will have the Iran-Cali scandal here soon.

yet you can get the launcher?
The AT-4 comes prepackaged with one projectile. The tube is useless after you fire it.

What is your point? You can only get those launcher tubes because they are already fired and therefore useless. If the rocket was still in it, then he wouldn't have it.
When I was 12, a buddy of mine brought a used LAW rocket tube (one of the so-called rocket launchers pictured) to school for show and tell. It was really cool when he slid it open and the sight popped up, just like in the movies. Other than that tho, it was less useful than a 3 foot length of pvc pipe. At least with the pvc you might could repair a water line or something.

This is dumb both of these are just tubes of plastic.
Once you shoot those things you just chunk the launcher; it's useless.
I've got a friend back home that has a used AT-4 hanging on his wall.

It's just liberal media sensationalism. They paid someone 100-200 bucks for a plastic tube. Then they took a pic with said tubes and they handful of "mean" weapons they paid for. Lets see the picture of ALL the weapons they bought. How many we're functional and how many were stolen? They are basically buying stolen merchandise.

Damn man... I would have given them a $300 gift card for an AR as long as the serial number wasn't scratched off.

Before I go through the thread, Looks like an AT4 and they were basically disposable, so not a big deal. Fire it and discard. Those had been fired, so they are useless.
Eta: Damn, half the people responding said the same thing. Guess that's why I post here
