E-Mails Say 'Mystery Weapon' Found in Iraq Could Be RPG Launcher, 'Potato Gun' or a Toy
The votes are in and FOXNews.com viewers overwhelmingly believe the "mystery weapon" found by GIs in the Iraqi town of Mosul is ...
A rocket propelled grenade (RPG) launcher ...
A mock-up of a homemade "potato gun" ...
Or, a toy.
Nearly 1,800 viewers e-mailed their best guesses, and while more than half thought it was an RPG launcher of some kind — a homemade version of the Iranian-made RPG-7 was the top guess, followed by a knockoff of the Carl Gustoff anti-tank weapon — more than a quarter of our e-mails said it was a common homemade "weapon" that actually launches ... spuds.
Often called a spudgun, a "potato gun" is described on several how-to Web sites as a recreational firearm that uses a propellant to launch potatoes, golf balls or other small objects between 200-300 yards.
That was my guess, a potato gun.
