    actually it's nice to see weapons going rusty like that, it means they ain't being used to kill people. "swords into ploughshares" and all that.
    don't forget small arms and designed to put a small piece of metal into or thru someones body and cause them serious damage. i'd like to see more weapons like that.

    I agree with Owen on that one. Although its weird to see it, its also a relief, given their purpose.

    Hmmmm....Interesting, personally I can do without the RPG's, Motars and Anti-Tank hardware, However that stack of Thompsons which Mother nature has done Her bit to deactivate to the point of Relic grade weapons, are artifacts of our past.

    Let's say for a moment (fellow time travelers), that we had a stack of rusting Arms from the weapons locker of Nelson's flagship HMS Victory, or any of the same period, for that matter a pile of Roman Gladius, all terrible weapons in their time, would one be so quick as to send them to the grinder??


    Cheers

    They could be made inoperable by many means for display and collectors only. The billions yes billions of dollars made from the sales of excess warmaterial could be used to fund the horrific results of wars. Landmines to name one noble beneficiary.

    Good working models of updated guns are available on the black market like most items.
