All perfectly normal probably just some hijinks by drunken police or army letting off steam ????

Looks more like a homemade toy, than an actual war weapon.

[ezzra]

Probably discarded by someone who has it in his possession for long time already and with no rockets to use it with got rid of it before it will cause him grief with the authorities.

Unexploded bombs, Guns, Uranium canister, Rocket launcher, be careful where you walk out there in safe and trusted Thailand.

Quick, melt it down!

Surely the real story here is that six out of the seven Thais in the picture are not wearing face masks...

rocket launcher has been found

It's been brought in by the Russians, probably the same device that brought down Malaysian Airlines flight 17

Ehhh?

Looks like tube from some sort of a Light Anti Tank weapon (LAW).

 

Once fired, the tube is disposable. They can't be reloaded and used again.

 

That said, the "empty cases" are normally accounted for and kept or disposed off securely. We always kept a number, suitably weighted, to hang on people to stop them getting too frisky. Most infantrymen will carry one as part of their "load".

Where's the pointing....?

[ThailandRyan]

It fell out of a Russiams backpack ????

One new gun law proposed and Thailand is already a safer place.

Yes They look like toys, but they're not, and many single use rocket launchers are actually made of cardboard
