Back where I come from, 40mm is called a "grenade"

Heck of a paperweight. He's lucky he only lost part of his hand.

"..Colla had found the 40 mm round while hunting years ago, Huston said. He used it as a paperweight and "obviously he didn't think the round was live," Huston said.

"He'd had it for years and years and nothing had happened before," Huston said. He described the round as about an inch-and-a-half wide and about five inches long. .."

Well, I guess it's a good thing he didn't keep it in his pocket.

Robert Colla struck the round with an object

I once sounded off about a rifle round going off in a clothes dryer and all the resident FR gun experts sounded the BS alarms and ranted that it is impossible for this to happen yada yada yada.

My biggest fear was that the gun grabbers would read that thread and use it against us.

It's obviously the fault of the manufacturer. Expect all bullets to now come with a warning label in bright red print stuck to it and each bullet wrapped in a child proof/theft proof plastic casing.

Funny. Is that a 40mm round paperweight in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

Give new meaning to "BLOW J**".

I looks like something a man might want to brag about and put in a place of honor.
