This photo was taken in Iraq by Michael Yon, a journalist and former Special Forces weapons specialist. At the time, he was with a group of soldiers responsible for the inventory of a large weapons cache.
Guesses as to what kind of weapon it is has ranged from Iranian RPG to anti-tank rocket launcher to plastic toy. Recent talk about foreign influence and support to the militias fighting in Iraq have given way to lots of speculation that is a new weapon to the battlefield.
"I've held and fired so many weapons in my life, if it were clearly a toy I would have known it the instant I either saw it or picked it up," Yon recently told Fox News in an interview about the identification of the weapon.
Weapons from several different countries are present in Iraq, so it there is no telling what the possible origins are. If anyone has any ideas, let us know.
