How you do confuse that for a real mortar, it's incredibly obvious that it's far too tiny to be real.

I seriously don't know how they could have possibly got that, ESPECIALLY with the controllers and the remote
I seriously thought they meant the action figure and that the morter was actually one of three legs on a camera stand.

lol aren't you edgy and cool. 11 people rated it funny so that kind of ruins your post
I'm pointing out how they mistake something that's obviously not what it is as something else
no, it's a rock

I'm worried that it took them an entire month to respond to this, what if this was a real threat?

According to the article, it seems someone tipped the police off rather than they just saw the picture. Still means someone's an idiot though.
