Good thing it didn't say (and have) nitro-glycerin in it.

18 "bloop guns" (M-79) or some of the ammo (for example, M-406 HE) used for them?

One of those shells wouldn't fit in a 'standard' ammunition-sized box (whatever that is supposed to mean).

Honestly, this is one poorly written article!

Dang, I wish I'd have found those.

Me too, but then, it would have never made the media.

Now, after that nasty thought, I have to go stand in the corner for a while.

I was wondering about their origin. That seemed most likely

So leave my shells alone. ;/

You know why mermaids wear sea-shells over their breasts?

.

Because bee-shells are too small and dee-shells are too big.

a little while ago, at a friend's place we came across a wooden box next to a shed. when we opened it we found bundles of dynamite that belonged to his g'father. while i was backing away (with my ears plugged by fingers) he proceded to prod the stuff, despite my admonitions. well, nothing happed. i called the staties, who showed up with their ord disp, washed it down with acetone...

if it's old stuff - stay away!

Local news said they were washed up onto the shore. We've had a pretty stiff east wind the past few days so this isn't surprising (stuff washing up).

They showed a pic of the box and it was one of those standard OD Green metal ammo cans.

When I got out of the Gun Biz (Class III) back in the 1970s, I stored a lot of miscellaneous (& non explosive) stuff in those wonderful old wooden US Army Grenade boxes.

About a year later, my storage shed was broken into and I always wonder what the faces of the burglars looked like when they saw those stacks of boxes with 'Grenades' written on the sides? And what they looked like after the got away and opened them to find nothing explosive there?

Anyway, I'd still like to see their faces... In the cross-hairs of my 30-06...

Life long experience brings me to say this to you.

The guy(s) who robbed you, you know.

They are probably closer to you than you know.

Honest Injun, shake your head, get cold blooded, and suspect the ones you think "could never" do it.

Life is a b!tch sometimes.

Naw... When I left the Gun Biz I shot everyone close to me.

And we shot... all those he didn't like.

And I shot... everyone else!

Well, slick... looks like you missed at least one!

They have the same problems in Picksley... but the new High Sheriff is working hard on it.

Round up... the usual subjects!

You bet... I'll grill this one 'til the cows come home!
