I was thinking the same. It looks like a 51mm mortar round. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

I'm actually kind of wondering how legal Bratty's arsenal is.

Do we need to add in a police raid as an option?  _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

Bratty, does it ring if tapped or does it just give a dull note?

If you do hit it with a hammer to see if it rings, do put a little cotton wool in each ear, just in case.

According to Jane's Book Of Ammunitions (yes really) an L35A1 is a 120mm canister tank round (i.e. tank version of a shotgun cartridge), mostly used by Challenger Mk1's, which looks a bit more like it. 30mm isn't a mortar shell, it's a bullet.

It would also appear that the L35A1 is also a fuse used in the M29/M29A1 mortar round (and matches the shape at the front of the shell as well). Glad to see there's no possible confusion in military equipment naming!

Wouldn't that be similar to "trappped down a well/mine"? _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

I think a case of shot gun shells and another marked "danger" may do the job.
