Girl finds rocket launcher ammunition in Minneapolis park
An 8-year-old girl made an unusual discovery in a Minneapolis park Monday night.
Aurelie Burston found a round of ammunition for a bazooka rocket launcher near a tree in Columbia Park on the city�s northeast side.
�I thought, like, it was a bomb or a rocket,� said Burston. Her older brother, Lucian, quickly offered to buy it from her.

6. Oh man, I've wanted to have my own rocket launcher for
so long. Jeez what fun, you can actually see them fly when you launch and man when they explode!

Next time the neighbor doesn't mow his lawn for weeks....POW!

10. A round for a BAZOOKA???
Y'know, kool kidz of the G-Oh-Pee...if you're going to go to an army surplus store and buy dummy rounds to conveniently drop in parks so as to scare We The People into approving martial law, you might want to choose a weapon that wasn't phased out in the Korean War.
