Comment on Do not drop ammunition at Devon recycling centres, council warns
MrPoletki@feddit.uk 5 days agoI don’t think anyone has any actual live ammunition they have disposed of. What they’ve done is they’ve disposed of an old, deactivated ornamental tank shell that was a part of a collection. They have then failed to mention it’s even in there, let alone deactivated, somebody has found it and then they must treat it as active.
If they’d just gone ‘hey guys, this thing isn’t going to explode, look it’s empty’ or something, no worries would have been had.

The bullet or shell in the photo doesn’t look deactivated or dismantled to me.
It could be a dummy round, but until you run it past an expert, it should be treated as unexploded ordinance.
