[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 2711337, member: 711"] What did you use to pull them out of your body? Were the tampons regular or super? Did you drop the empty mag in the tactical reload? Who was shooting .45 ACP into you? Expiring minds want to know. The military will provide Explosive Ordinance Disposal services for things that might explode. A farmer friend of mine in the 1950s plowed up a shell and contacted Fort Sill officials. Someone came out and declared it to be inert. As I recall, it was a French 75, and may still be laying behind his barn. If this is an evil Black Talon, you might consider calling them. <insert symbol depicting wiseassery here and don't even consider involving any part of the government!> Around Lawton, it used to be common for people to sneak onto artillery ranges and bring home duds. One kid had his garage nearly full of various unexploded projectiles--would have taken out the whole block if one had gone off. Last I heard there was a really good training session done by Fort Sill personnel for all the schools regarding the dangers of messing with anything related to the artillery ranges, and it had resulted in a big drop in the number of dud related incidents. In southeast Lawton a kid was driving a dud mortar shell into his lawn with a sledge hammer when a neighbor GI saw what he was doing. The soldier pushed the kid away just as the round exploded. Killed the soldier, but the kid escaped with minimal injury. [/QUOTE]
