If you could get some pix posted, it would be a lot easier to ID your find.

There is one thing wrong with using a "Hosting Site" for your photos. While you get full-size photos attached in the post, if you ever delete the photo from the hosting site it disappears from your post. This leaves people reading the thread in the future wondering what it is about because all the pictures will have disappeared!
What I feel is better is to up-load thumbnails directly, these will always appear on your post. When doing a post go to the bottom of the page and you will see a "Manage Attachments" button. Click this and another dialog box opens that has a "Browse" button. Click the Browse and search for where you keep photos on your computer. Find the picture, double click on it and the file name will appear in the dialog box. Click the "Upload" button. You can post up to 5 photos this way. Just repeat the browse/up-load as needed. Once you have all of your pictures simply click the "Close this window" button. The only issue is your pictures cannot be larger than about 1500x1000 pixels, so re-size them to this size before trying to up-load or it will simply fail. Mouse over the thumbnail or click on it and it will enlarge to full-size.
If you have posted and then want to add pictures after you saved the post, then start with the "Edit" button in the post. When the window opens then click the "Go Advanced" button. This will get you to the "Manage Attachments". Then proceed as for a new post. Example:

When you do go to upload using the attachments window, a list of acceptable resolutions and file sizes appears.
I try to stay within those guidelines.
If you happen to use IrfanView not only is resizing easy, you can save a JPG to a given file size (or less).
One of the plugins is used for that function.
As an experiment this file is larger than recommended and it still worked.

Looks like a M82 blank, Mfg. at Lake City ammunition plant in 1981. Still in current use for training and salutes - the ones from my brother's funeral were from 1986. I'm still trying to find a source for the M64 blanks used at sea.

Good bit of information here:
7.62mm (7.62 x 51 mm) Ammunition
Including the various blanks, dummies, training rounds etc.
http://www.atlanticwallblanks.com/
Has a lot of blanks but probably not the official grenade launching ones.

I used to spend a lot of my summers in the woods of Fort Jackson, SC, and picked up hundreds of .30-06 blank rounds, many still live. I'd punch out the cardboard seal, pour the powder in long trails and piles, and stick a match to it. I'd put the cases and links together and make belts and bandeliers to wear around. Kept a kid happy.
