dale1948 Posted July 14, 2017 Share #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?

USARV72 Posted July 14, 2017 Share #2 Posted July 14, 2017 A pic would help. What color is it? What is stenciled on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hudson Posted July 14, 2017 Share #3 Posted July 14, 2017 It is an inert tin can with fins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manchu Warrior Posted July 14, 2017 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dale1948 Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dale1948 Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share #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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted July 15, 2017 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USARV72 Posted July 15, 2017 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
