Time To Play Name That Gun


Okay then. This is being featured on Drudge as a weapon that was "captured" by our forces in Iraq.

The pic is far too small, but nothing about this seems to make sense. The thing it most closely resembles is some sort of GI Joe accessory. The "barrel" looks like a suppressor, and were it to be a sort of RPG it certainly does not appear to be safe to fire such a device.

It might be that what we're seeing is only part of the actual weapon itself, and can anyone see a trigger mechanism? Might be a simple switch type button, and if it IS real, my guess would be a Soviet made Strella AA Missile Launcher, but I've never seen one that is as small as this seems to be.

Okay I found an old pic and let me know what you think...

Mine is the one with various RPG-types and the Drudge mystery weapon is the other.
