I was just reading about these Lazy Dog bombs - wow, I had never heard of those before! Talk about silent death rain!

Anyone have a handful they want to trade for a barrel nut or A1 Handguards? I'd like to have a few of those for my next flight!

Lazy Dog Bombs

I found some on ebay - if I can score some for a reasonable price I will put one or 2 on the Pay it Forward plan. These are very cool!

They are originally a WW2 item..They were dropped from bombers by the caseload as the Big bombs were dropped. I still have a few I bought back in the mid 70s as I thought they were cool too..Now they just sit in a drawer...

I have one that I found on the bottom of a box of surplus in a gun shop.
It has a finish similar to parkerizing...maybe it actually is.
I have kept it in my gun tool box for 20 years now and pull it out once in awhile for show and tell.
Looks like these:

I remember the very first surplus catalog I ever saw, B&W Trading Company back in the mid-1970's had them. I ended up buying some, lost them somewhere over the years (hell, I was a little kid back then).

Always loved the name: Lazy Dog Bombs

I've owned several though the years.
I first got them when going to gun shows with my dad.
Most of them got lost in my yard or on the schoolyard.(Those were different times back then!)
I still have one from those days.
I ought to get one for my son to play with.(at home, not at school)

I seem to remember someone in the back of Shotgun News selling these by the pound a while back.

I had a half dozen of the grey parkerized ones when I was about twelve (1984).  Long gone now.  :(

So you and Nguyen are sitting on the side of the Ho Chi Min trail having some fish and rice balls, and it starts raining steel.........................

With 23" of penetration you don't have too many places to seek cover.

A 1000 years from now archeologists will dig a few hundred of those up, scratch their collective heads and conclude that at one time a race of tiny, tiny warrior people lived in southeast Asia. Their incessant bombings led to the complete eradication of the race.

From what I read years back,,these little suckers REALLY did a number on the German rail yards,and all the oil refineries during WW2.

They did damage that was not easy to spot.
When a huge bomb destroys a rail line it is obvious.
When lots of tiny hole appear in the lines they're hard to spot until you're on top of them.
