Shitpost / Memes This has to be a joke right?
With the Lightweight Command Launch Unit (CLU) costing $240,000 by itself, not including the cost of the missiles.
That’s more so a joke, because it’s not that those numbers actually matter;
Who, the, fuck, is in possession of an FGM-148 Javelin?
This is the actual definition of writing laws based on movies.

Their rationale is that the launcher and (inert only) missiles were legal to own as they weren't prohibited to own previous to the OIC.
I knew of a few RPG's and rockets owned by individuals. They were non-restricted btw.

Funny that they needed to go as far as banning RPGs. Because that was such a problem here in Canada to begin with /s

Deactivated ones are still legal and are still legal. Good luck finding one but still

Best thing about the .22 gauge, its not even on the FRT never mind the OICs! I'm gonna get six of 'em!

Plot twist: it's dad's old fully-automatic .22 gauge Vector and actually capable of it xD
Man I wish we had gun laws based on responsible gun owners and not the criminals who will rampage with whatever they can get their hands on, legal or not.

They are paying $2 for a HK416
Check M42/M1942 they are paying for Soviet-era artillery

They are paying $2 for a HK416
an HK416 Model D (the .22lr version) just to clarify for anyone unfamiliar with the breakdowns of their models.

No it will never be reversed. Reversing it will cause Quebec and urban Ontario to not like them and cost votes in the following election.

u/Barbarian_818 Mar 10 '26
If it's in the FRT, someone somewhere has asked the firearms program to classify it. It's possible someone had an inert trainer or the expended launcher. It's also possible that at some point, some enlisted tried to take his work home with him and got busted.

The CAF does not operate Javelins.

True. But our forces do train alongside other forces that do. During joint exercises there are plenty of chances to play around with allied equipment.

How are you supposed to revolt against the government when the majority of your countrymen either work for them or actively cheering them on in an theta-wave TV induced hypnosis?
Happy Cake Day btw!

I’ve seen deactivated rocket launchers in gun shops selling for ~$2000.

u/Scary-Detail-3206 Mar 10 '26
Holy smokes that’s expensive. My uncle picked up a whole whack of deactivated military equipment from an auction in the late 80s for like $100. It was pretty sweet playing with legit mortar tubes and rocket launchers as a kid.

The reason it is on the list is because if anyone opposes it...

u/swift_gilford Mar 10 '26
When the list first dropped, wasn't there a whole thing that they pretty much carbon copied from some legislation that some anti-gun US-states were trying to do and that's why the list is so padded with items that we simply wouldn't have here?
2
u/Imaginary-Text4690 Mar 10 '26
I would say most the gun ban states as we call them here in USA do have a list of prohibited guns but it’s not very large and you can still get pretty much any variant that isn’t named. Where it differs is the number of features like threaded barrel and pistol grip a semi auto rifle has. That’s where it’s starts getting real retarded
5
u/LLSWSIF Mar 10 '26
This along with the AK were on the list so that when they showed it to the Ukranians they could reasonably say "ya we will use some of this if you give it to us"
4
u/AssistantInternal450 Mar 10 '26
This is how they got the Ukrainians to agree, on paper, with their plan to ship them our banned guns. Now since we haven't actually collected anything useful to them, they've refused to take anything.

u/General-Football-953 Mar 10 '26
The new plan is to send all the GSG-16s to the Russians. Carney is a genius

u/Rogan403 Mar 10 '26
To be fair, considering the kinds of "body armor", or lack there of, that has been found on many Russian soldiers, at least at the beginning of the war, 22lr would've probably done just fine lol.
Probably better equipped now though since I haven't heard any reports of plate carriers being found with weighted exercise plates, crudely shaped layered sheet metal, thick layered cardboard, or nothing at all for a while so they got that figured out or Ukraines drone strikes have effectively made body armor irrelevant so they stopped checking.

Seems like shooting the javelin if you had one would be a lot more fun than turning it in.
Somehow they have not banned the L55A1 120mm smoothbore either ! You can keep your abraham tank at home

u/NavXIII Mar 10 '26
Most of the "1500 models" banned in the 2020 OIC were like 1000 models of AR-15s and 300 weapons of war like anti tank launchers, mortars, anti aircraft missiles, etc.

u/canadianmohawk1 Mar 10 '26
Our Army is desperate for arms.

u/HappyCan7250 Mar 10 '26
These are going straight to African warlords I'm betting. Considering I saw a story a while back about African militias using Canadian Cadex rifles, it wouldn't surprise me if some of the confiscated guns somehow ended up in the hands of bad actors on the other side of the world.
Maybe that's Carney's plan to get us out of debt. He'll sell all the confiscated guns at 1000x markup to African and middle eastern warlords?

You can buy some really cool shit in Ukraine right now and they are way more chill about what gets mailed.
