6/15/2006: Mass Destruction of Weapons
xoB finds this gallery of images entitled "Mass Destruction of Weapons" and it's such a natural title that I can't help but steal it. A lot of the guns seem to be covered in this sort of tape or glue or goo of some sort. This massive crane picks up the batches of weapons one after the other, and they get chewed up by some massive industrial metal shredder; And it all makes a massive pile of scrap. |

All those shredded chunks of gun flying through the air look pretty damn dangerous...

I'm more interested in the machine that can shred these guns. Seems to me a machine at a typical scrap yard would have "teeth" sized to shred larger objects, like washing machines or refrigerators. And something as small as a gun might get jammed in the teeth or pass through unscathed. Guns are pretty dense and aren't made of soft metal either, so what metal are the "teeth" made of?

Wow, I don't know if you recall .... but, this is the second Mass Destruction of Weapons Thread. Seems more thorough than the first option: http://cellar.org/iotd.php?threadid=664

Welcome to the Cellar, findpolitics.
There was another one burning large stacks of long guns. I don't want to link to it because 2 examples are all Wolf can stand in one day.

The "goo" they are covered in is most likely carboline.
What another waste of good stuff. I have a 7.62 Rifle but not the pistol. Interesting.

the gooey stuff is a kind of grease and the paper is an oil impregnated paper, like parchment, I think it is to help prevent rust during shipping and storage. I only have ever seen this on tools coming out of the orient or eastern europe. I think when I was a kid I remember seeing something similar at an army surplus store. REal army surplus, WWII and Korea war
