I found this while out on a fire. What heck is it, blank? There are no head stamps.

Blank for launching rifle grenades. No. Just a plain old training blank. 7.62x51mm. I've fired thousands, and thousands of them with the M60. Rgr, its the old 7.62x51 blank for use in the M60 and M14 series weapons. You find them all over the place in military training areas. The end is filled with a red wax/plastic instead of being crimped. They dont handle exposure to the weather as well as the new blanks. |

Fuck, I'm old. |

When someone has no life and views it three days in a row they notice stuff  There are a few times you can see they aren't using live rounds.

A short crimp that barely entered the barrel throat. |

Yeah, I missed that too. Well, at least they didn't use propane prop guns for the muzzle blast and edit in sounds from the wrong gun like so many movies do... (just watched the lost battalion last night, guy gets stabbed in the neck with a bayonet in a close up - except that there is no bayonet on the rifle, and several times you could see that there was no ammo in any of the guns) |
