I am not certain what I have pictured and searching the net has failed me. I believe they are for reloading 37mm riot projectiles (training type) for either wood knee knockers, bean bags or rubber projectiles. They were gifted to me. The propellant comes in glass vials and appears to be black powder or equivalent. The primers appear to be 209 shotgun primers. Can anybody out there confirm? Are these even legal to possess? I don't see why they wouldn't be. Just wondering.

Looks like it's for their tear gas billy club!

So, it looks like what I have is boxes of training loads. I've got probably 6 full boxes of 10 reloads each, and one partial box. It looks like there may be a market for these. No clue what they would be worth. Thanks for the effort and time doing your search. I came up with dead ends.

We used those kits to reload and shoot practice 37mm barricade rounds in our Federal gas gun on the SWAT team. You reprimed the fired case, dumped the powder vial in, and pushed the training projectile in. Then you could aim and fire.

Is there a market for them? Are they legal to posses and sell? For 37mm practice, I can't think of any reason they would not be.

I have no idea. Our gas stuff was ancient and used very little. The stuff was so old you couldn’t read what the projectiles were. We got surprised that way firing a muzzle dispersant CS round. That sure cleared the firing line.

There were some of those pieces and boxes in the case of my Federal gas gun when I got it, albeit not as complete or nice shape. Just reloading components so legal to own, but I am not sure what a fair price would be for that since I don't remember seeing just the components for sale.

Since you're asking about the market, message me if you post them for sale somewhere.
