Mexican soldiers on Wednesday seized a large drug catapult that smugglers were using to launch packages of pot into a remote area of Arizona.

U.S. National Guard troops at the Naco Border Patrol station about 80 miles southeast of Tucson tipped off the Mexican Army after a surveillance camera spotted several traffickers hurling bundles of weed over the border last Friday night.

The soldiers found the launcher about 20 yards from the border on a flatbed platform towed by an SUV, according to The Associated Press.

gotta give them credit, if they had been smarter with it who knows how long it could have worked for them. The funnier part, how much did they send over before it was discovered .... more than we collectively will make this year I'd imagine

As a youth, they would have been filled with urine. I wish I was joking.
