Any guesses...Mystery weapon....
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Still not absolutely sure, Jim. According to this, those pics may be photoshopped and they say that M. Yon handled this "weapon" and has other pics. If this is a joke, there's serious damage being done to a respected war blogger here. Check this out:

www.foxnews.com/story/...78,00.html

— "It's a plastic miniature. Look at the details of it, they're too unrealistic. The shadow is too long, and the trigger looks fake. This is a hoax." (Editor's note: Sorry Connor, but journalist Michael Yon was there when the "weapon" was removed by GIs in Mosul. ... They handled it, he handled it and he has photos.)

— "This thing is clearly an ultra-sophisticated, high-tech beer can launcher."

— "Your weapon is a complete hoax. It wasn't found in a weapons cache ... It was found in a toybox." (Editor's note: Sorry Christian, but our reporter checked your "toy" reference and the photo that you submitted; we found that IT was a hoax, made using Photoshop.)

OK I wasted four hours and an exorbitant amount of telephone money trying to track down information about this thing from my US military contacts and the only person who seems to have seen it is MY.

It isnt listed amongst the recovered weapons for the past three years.

It isnt mentioned in any reports for the past two years.

Form your own conclusion as I think I, personally, have more than wasted enough time on this...

Cool
