Guns to make you cringe

[GunnyUSMC]

Darn chintzy Glock rear sights..can't survive gettin' thrown outta the car at 50 MPH?
Chicken grease guns? Is that a thing now? So not an improvement on FrogLube?

I had never seen a chicken grease gun until I became a police officer. It’s a name the officer working in the hood call them. The grease smells like fried chicken or Turkey wings. In hot weather the grease is not that bad, but it gums up if it gets dirty or cold.

Here’s a Beretta 92 that was thrown from a vehicle. The slide and frame were bent. I was able to test fire it with some help from a rawhide mallet.

those gloves are definitely for your protection

This has been a great thread and is quite interesting. I wish that some evidence rooms would remove and sell some hard to find gun parts that are still in excellent condition instead a of throwing them away. A 4" blued S&W Model 19-5 barrel would be nice!

Those chicken grease guns are repulsive.

But I felt the same way when I had to remove Cosmoline, or the Chinese equivalent, from a new SKS many years back. Yuck!

That job has to be an absolute blast.

Here in KY law enforcement is required by law to auction off confiscated firearms once their evidentiary value is over. Unfortunately only dealers can bid, except for (I think) guns confiscated by Fish & Wildlife.

I get the impression that neither the Glock or the Beretta were tested for road worthiness. Maybe that's the next YouTube durability segment - how many miles before it fails?

I’d put a hi point up to test vs glock.

To tell you the truth, I have seen more messed up Hi Points them most other guns grouped together. Cracked slides, bulged barrels and broken firing pins. One things that they have going for them is that they have very few parts and a great warranty.
Hi Points thrown from vehicles very seldom made it to me due to the frames and slides not surviving the landings.
Here’s one Hi Point, with its, custom white grips that made it across my desk. It was in like new condition. But for every Hi Point that made it across my desk, ten or more S&W SD’s would make it.

Thanks for the memories Gunny... Years ago our collection of weapons for destruction had very few nice items (and I'm not talking about the ones that still had dried blood or other very questionable coatings..). Most modern chiefs of police are very sensitive about seized or confiscated weapons. The slightest mis-handling of weapons in a department's custody could easily cost a chief his position...
In my era, we never cut up or welded up weapons to be destroyed - instead we received permission to dump them offshore into saltwaters (and a depth of between 200 and 300 feet, one at a time as we were moving slowly offshore...). One of the few nice things about working in south Florida during the cocaine cowboy years...

Here, they all get destroyed by mutilation. At one time they used to sell them.

Saddest I ever saw was when a young man burglarized a home in a well to do neighborhood in Queens, area Mr. Trump grew up in, Jamaica Estates.

Seems one of the objects he stole was an engraved Winchester 21 shotgun. He was caught doing stickups on the street with it, after he had cut down the barrels and stock. A $30 holdup with a gun that had been worth $1000’s.

When the owner came in to testify he looked close to weeping when he saw it.

That’s a worse crime than armed robbery! I wanted to cry for the guy that owned the Winchester! I hope the dirt bag that mutilated that fine piece got some serious time!

A few years ago I created a post that listed the guns that I handled every day. That list surprised a lot of members. Over the years, criminals have gotten smarter when it comes to firearms. Now days they are much better armed, and they love high capacity magazines.

I’d take a chicken grease gun over a blood/hair/brain gun any day.

We called those meat guns.

There's a piece in the Ordnance Board Proceedings about how they received an MG15 from one of the first German aircraft shot down over the UK, still covered in dried blood and decaying human tissue.

Years ago I bought a couple Romy G AK kits that were supposed to be rusty kits but when I got them in they had mud, rusty blood & hair stuck to them. As soon as I opened the box I got my rubber gloves on just to be sure to protect myself. I didn't build these, I bead blasted them & put a thin rattle can paint job on them. I sold them off for double what I paid for them.

They are gross. I had a Rossi and S&W come in the other week with various types of biohazard on them…Gross

Before I took over the NIBIN division of our department, I was pressing all evidence guns for finger prints and DNA. Every now and then I would open an evidence bag, that was not marked Biohazard, and find it covered in blood, or find one still loaded.
I rewrote the department policy for bagging up evidence guns in full detail and reasons for everything, then sent it up the chain of command. It only took the Chief two days to approve in and make it department policy.
Before, when officers picked up guns, they would unload them, count the rounds the rounds and the put everything in an evidence bag, which was a large envelope.
I changed it to where the officers were to eject the magazine, loaded or not, into the new clear plastic evidence bag. Eject the round from the chamber and insert a zip tie into the barrel, from the chamber. Then place the gun in the bag. Fill out an evidence envelope and place it in the bag with the gun, then heat seal the bag and place evidence tape over both ends. This way you could see the guns and know what condition they were in.
Any gun with blood was to be placed into an evidence envelope and marked Biohazard. The reason for not using the plastic bag for biohazard was so that the blood could dry before it started to mold/rot.
The Crime Scene investigators were the ones that normally backed up the fresh bloody ones.
I pulled a Glock 19 from a bag one day, and blood was still dripping out of it.

I liked your post but do not like that part........

The morning I pulled that gun from the bag, I said to myself, this is not going to be fun.
My friend, that worked in Crime Scene was the one that had placed the gun into evidence about 6 hours before I got it.
I had never seen a gun that had that much blood inside of it. I called my friend and asked what had happened, since his report was not in the system yet.
He said that the gun belonged to the victim. That uniform patrol was dispatched to a single vehicle crash around 2 am. They found that the vehicle was on the side of the road, where it had been stopped by a tree. There wasn’t a lot of damage to the front of the vehicle, but there were several bullet holes in the drivers door. They found the driver slumped over the console, who had been shooting several times.
My friend found the gun on the passenger side floorboard in a large puddle of blood.
He said that the driver was on his way home from work and was stopped at the light, when another vehicle pulled up along side of him and stated shooting. He also said that the driver was still alive and rushed to the hospital, where they said that he would live.
We ended up arresting three guys from a local street gang. They had gone out that night so that a new member could get his first kill.
The way we caught them was from the cartridge cases at the scene. I matched them to several shooting that the same street gang were involved in over the past few months. With that lead the detectives were able to build their case.
