been up and down the Malahat many times, never worried about being shot at by an RPG.. until now.

Do we need an RPG registry too now ?

[Dragom]

Seeing as you have very limited choices when your car is struck by an RPG I recommend not worrying about it at all.

Besides the person clearly couldn't find their ex-girlfriends car that spring evening in the dark.

if it wasnt for all the stupid laws in Canada, I'd love to take one of those out ice fishing.

So that's where I left it? I've been looking around the house for days.

Shouldn't be hard to trace to the purchaser.

You need to mind your anti-vehicle weapons much better, mister...

It sounds awfully mean, but the image of you trying to punch a hole in the ice at your feet with an RPG so you could fish did bring up a giggle...

I'd pay money to watch that!

Lot number traced to last unit that it was issued to, from there it could get a little shady.

That's what I figured. Be interesting to know if it was CF or US issue.

I'd very interested to know where this came from as well. As far as I know the CF still uses the M72, but I can't imagine any of these are stored at Rocky Point or anywhere on the Island for that matter.

I saw it on the news. It was reported as an M72Law.

When I was posted to Victoria in the early 80's all sorts of ammo was stored, including M72's and such. To fire them though required us to head down south to either Yakima Firing Centre or Ft. Lewis in Washington. I don't think it has changed in that time. There are also several reserve infantry units on the island that this MAY have been issued to. I would start looking in that direction.

Not sure what the difference is between a M72Law or M72.
