917601 Posted October 18, 2020 Share #1 Posted October 18, 2020 Nothing special, a recovered Air Force BDU 33 Bomb missing the fin assy and a practice 40mm grenade. What makes it special is someone went down range and picked them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to fly fire spotting on the Fort Hood ranges, saw all kinds of neat stuff but I never had the brass ones to land and pick some of it up...

iron bender Posted October 19, 2020 Share #4 Posted October 19, 2020 This actually came from a B troop 2/1 cav friend of mine in the early 90's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

917601 Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted October 20, 2020 Looks like a .50 hit a 60mm Illum mortar fin assy ( fins missing). Unique, and a good story behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron bender Posted October 20, 2020 Share #7 Posted October 20, 2020 It had date/location/ and as I recall something about master gunner some such, written on it. My kids and their friends removed all the 'permanent' marker writing off of it over the last 15 years. Quite the show and tell for school. I can only imagine the stories told over this one at the local elementary. Picked up on a range at Ft. Hood doesn't seem as plausible as shot down Soviet missile part inbound for New York Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
