It's really for a couple reasons: The first is to have a memorized phrase to ALWAYS use. That way we don't forget to ask it when need to.
The say bazookas or whatever as a way to illustrate that they want ANY weapon. If a cop said, "Do you have any weapons?" you might not think the leatherman in your pocket or the baseball bat in the back seat are weapons. I assure you, though, we do. So listing a few off the wall suggestions may trigger you to remember you have something odd that can be used as a weapon.
I say, "Do you have any guns, knives, needles, anything sharp. or anything else that could hurt me?

I hear the "bazooka , missile'' thing, I figured they were kidding.
I'm a Texan and had a DPS officer ask if I had a gun in the truck. Mind you I have an NRA sticker on one side and a Texas Trophy Hunters sticker on the other.
I answered, "today?"
He wrote me a warning for no front license plate, and told me to have a nice day. I put the front plate on the same day. Since he said that's why he stopped me.
I should mention it was daytime, I'm a little older than the average guy without a shirt, that goes to jail every time, on COPS. And I was taught by my dad, to be courteous to policeman.

At least for me it is both comic relief, a way of putting the honest citizen I happen to be searching a little more at ease and a way for the bad guy to understand I want them to give up anything that might hurt me before I find it.
I never used bazookas but have asked for flamethrowers and atomic bombs.
I also throw in simple questions like how many feet in a yard? while asking important ID info. Keeps them distracted from planning something bad or at least amused.
BTW usually get the wrong answer to the feet in the yard ? but once got the answer "depends on how many people came to the bar b que".

If I had a rocket launcher,
some sunny beach would die.
The Guns Knives is so they don't accidentally shoot a Undercover FBI,CIA,DEA,ATF,HSA,Congressman,Senator, Mayor, whatever that has a Concealed Permit.
Any citizen is allowed to carry a firearm,knife. Most towns say it has to be holstered, some do not allow it at all, but those are the laws of the land, so the cops ask.
I still laugh at the idiot that stole a Sherman Tank and got it stuck on the freeway,,,,bang bang he's dead, they didn't have to ask him!

Do you want to be questioning a suspect who's armed with a bazooka?

the respond is 'particular'. i could think of they have have been given a minimum of a million/2 a dozen digicam communities following the officers around to gather photographs and of the hours and hours of tape they %. out the terrific bits. particular, this 'form of stuff incredibly does take place each and each shift'.

They do NOT ask about missiles and Bazookas! And, even if they did, they're trying to stay alive in a world of punk criminals!
