My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

HaHA Yeah looks live something out of a movie,but actually guys these were dropped out of planes,no kidding,full of ball bearings,ball is 2 halves held together with thin metal clips,with fins so it stays on track to the target then on impact breaks open,hundreds were dumped out of bombers at a time.Or so I was told!
Looks like from one of these , I think the Cluster bombs only really started to be used at the time of Vietnam
I thought it was the "even rarer than the golden" ...... BLUE SNITCH!!!!!

I thinks it’s a blu-26 submunition used on cbu-24 cluster bombs. Sadly not ww2 more Vietnam war As already stated. I would say it’s training round given the blue colour .
Nasty little beasties, still maiming curious kids in Laos to this day. You are lucky TC that yours is painted blue.
I've got part of a similar bomb that was a kitbag filler from 1991. But no dimples on the outside of it.
These killed allot of curious people in England in WWII practically impossible to disarm that along with the Oyster pressure sea mine which was never really countered/defeated caused all sorts of havoc for the boys from Vernon....
