dale1948 Posted July 14, 2017 #1 Posted July 14, 2017 I saw a 25 pound practice bomb at a local sale. I'm reluctant to buy it. As you all know, it's called a "ballistic dummy unit" or BDU (target smoke bomb). The seller said this one is disarmed. It's hollow and seems to be empty. Question: Is it legal to own these? Thanks
USARV72 Posted July 14, 2017 #2 Posted July 14, 2017 A pic would help. What color is it? What is stenciled on it?
Manchu Warrior Posted July 14, 2017 #4 Posted July 14, 2017 Does it look like this one? This is the one I own and its really nothing more then an oversized paperweight. But I honestly have a thing for ordnance of any kind.
dale1948 Posted July 15, 2017 Author #5 Posted July 15, 2017 This is it. Thanks for the replies. The owner says it was found on his property years ago. This property isn't near a military base. He has no idea how it got there.
dale1948 Posted July 15, 2017 Author #6 Posted July 15, 2017 A pic would help. What color is it? What is stenciled on it? No markings that I can see. Just blue color. So, these are legal to own/buy?
doyler Posted July 15, 2017 #7 Posted July 15, 2017 No markings that I can see. Just blue color. So, these are legal to own/buy? Yes....seen dozens of the blue ones for sale at auctions,surplus stores,gun shows etc.
USARV72 Posted July 15, 2017 #8 Posted July 15, 2017 Totally inert, as others posted you are good to go with it. They look good hanging in the war room.
