The equipment looks antique. It does do the job in time. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v...type=2&theater

They need to learn to be more efficient.

Oh my goodness, one gun at a time? 9.25 million dollar budget down the grinding tubes. I'm sorry folks, I could not resist some humor here.

As someone who used to have this responsibility with a local PD; after all paperwork was sent out, approval given by all required parties, the weapons were cut with an oxyacetylene torch, down the barrel and across the frame at least once. The destruction was carried out and witnessed by 3 people that signed off on the destruction.

Something like the shredder in post #2 would be adequate. You could destroy dozens by the time one person took a torch to cut the pieces apart. I also believe it would create less pollution

A cutting torch would take a minute

Pretty sure the shredder could could chew up guns rather fast
