Not only did they collect more than 500 weapons, according to WBAL-TV, one of the weapons was a rocket launcher.

The city was buying back the weapons for between $25 and $500, WBAL reported, but it's unclear how much they paid for the rocket launcher.

The city was holding three buyback events this week and here's what they were paying for weapons and ammunition, according to the news station.

  • High-capacity magazines: $25
  • Revolvers and pump and bolt-action weapons: $100
  • Semi-automatic weapons: $200
  • Fully automatic weapons: $500
