From an Australian UXO tech sheet (https://www.defence.gov.au/sites/default/files/2025-03/Naval_marine-markers.pdf)
Both unexpended and expended markers are often found in maritime areas and washed ashore. A
number of incidents have occurred with the Mk 25 (and other markers) due to unexpended
phosphorus or a build-up of a phosphorous-type crust – this has occasionally resulted in either fire
injury/damage or low-order detonation (rupturing of the case) if the item is disturbed or re-exposed
to water. The marker also contains a small explosive charge which may cause injuries.
Aw, man, that would have been great for a Gender Reveal party...
I has an almost football size smoke device from the navy and one July 4th I set it off in one of the beach communities, I had no idea it could do what it did, it was extraordinary, I was worried that it may trigger an investigation.
Back when, in the GOT, we used these as targets for the mini gun.
