Here's what Mike currently has to say about it
“What in the world is this?” That sentence was translated into “Mystery Weapon Found in Iraq.” The “mystery weapon” characterization packed pizzazz, but the words were not mine. Had the “mystery weapon” been found somewhere other than Mosul, Iraq alongside 27 surface-to-air missiles, anti-tank mines, RPGs, blasting caps and tons of other munitions, the weapon likely would have been dismissed.

If loaded words were not ricocheting around the world about Iranian weapons being found in Iraq, the “mystery weapon” depicted in a photograph taken back in 2005 would likely garner attention more commensurate with its size and lethality, or lack thereof.

Fauxnews, in all it's dying glory, seems to have "uncovered" another erstwhile unknown weapon. The weapon was found in the presence of the same journo who was there when the first 'mysterious' gun was found.

Me believes the ignorant masses are being set up for a grand April 1st surprise.

A mysterious green cantaloupe-sized metal ball with an unknown firing device, found in 2005 by GIs and a freelance journalist in Mosul, Iraq, is confounding weapons experts trying to pinpoint its origin.

Dubbed "Mystery Weapon 2" by Iraq-based journalist Michael Yon, the orb was found under a barn among a weapons stockpile that was later destroyed by the 1st Battalion, 24th Infantry Regiment.

Not that mysterious.

Are you sure? If so, please go over to Michael Yon's site and leave a comment. I know he's actually curious about it
 
Yep that sonic blaster is the one

looks home made to me but it also looks copied from a toy soldiers gat as posted.

Ooops H3, you been had, mate. The toy picture is a photoshop hoax cooked up by someone using Yon's photo. It's been doing rounds on the net since the proper pic first surfaced.

Yep the Green mock up is made from the Special ops toy , that's how I see it in other word's its a fictitious wpn ....... off down the pub.
