Shoot More”). The bazookas have been deactivated so I guess it’s okay to let kids play with it. That’s if they can lift the thing.

The bazookas are made of aluminum and were manufactured in Spain in the 1960s and 70s. Each one measures a whopping 70″ long, and is equipped with an optical sight, eyecup, shield, strap and bipod. It looks so awesome!!! And heavy.

Why are you still reading this? There are vintage bazookas for sale! This will be the best $200 (USD) you’ll ever spend. Go to Centerfire Systems and arm yourself soldier! And oh, if you’re from California I’m sorry but you can’t buy one of these. It says so on the product page. I wonder why.

halo rocket launcher mp3 player

Halo fan Mordacil’s SPNKR rocket launcher boom box has speakers built into the barrels, and a slot on top for connecting an MP3 player. While you could use it to play an aggressive tune like Bang Your Head, or something more whimsical like Blow the Man Down, I think I’d rather play the Halo theme music to preserve the illusion.

The only thing that would make this thing cooler is if it could actually launch rockets. On second thought, it would be even better if it could launch multiple explosive projectiles to the beat of the music.
