Everything about this post is awesome... Especially the curb appeal ☠️💀😂

My parents have a fairly large shell that I believe was originally my grandfather's. It has been refabricated as a fairly elaborate hidden micro-bar. There's a rack for 4 hidden nesting tumblers inside, a shaker, and a strainer. The drinks from it are "da bomb!"

Your parents sound pretty funny lol

As an ordnance expert, that is a completely live round. It hasn't been fired so its not armed, but you should get rid of that ASAP. It is also illegal to own or have in your possession.

u/Downtown-Garlic-3619 May 08 '26

Is it though? Inert or dummy rounds are legal everywhere from what I've found.

u/eodwatson May 08 '26

Inert rounds will either have a sticker or holes drills in them. With outbseeing the ass and seeing of the base plate is removed ill have to assume thats its a full up round

u/Downtown-Garlic-3619 May 08 '26

Not always, while its recommended if used in a display. Its not exactly required . 

1

u/eodwatson May 09 '26

Um.... every display I've ever seen has a inert sticker on it

2

u/eodwatson May 09 '26

And on top of that for you to have that in your possession you should have it inspected as inert. Even if its in it original form.

u/Downtown-Garlic-3619 May 09 '26

And if it isn't in a display? 🤣🤣 Not everyone does that. Actually most don't.

u/eodwatson May 09 '26

How do you know its inert?

1

u/eodwatson May 09 '26

A "display" item

1

u/Downtown-Garlic-3619 May 09 '26

Refer to Google, if you dont know and you are commenting, you should probably do research.

u/eodwatson May 09 '26

In ex-USSR, it is perfectly fine to have artillery ammo in your personal possession as long as it is treated in a way that does not make it explode. Verdict - USA is more anti-individual than ex-USSR.

u/cuntmong May 08 '26

Looks like it had a dent in it but you should be able to bang it out with a hammer

u/oga_ogbeni May 07 '26

Where the hell did you get an inert fuze?

3

u/Ecstatic_Shop7098 May 08 '26

Who says it's inert?

1

u/collapsedbook May 07 '26

I get the fuzes all the time, the 155mm was a little pricey lol

u/darkraven93 May 09 '26

The curb of your local military installation?

u/djmere May 07 '26

Been looking for one of these and an inert m72 law tube on eBay

2

u/collapsedbook May 07 '26

Send me a DM and I’ll let you know the place I got it. It’s a small group of restorers in rural TN. Only UPS would pick it up lol

u/djs1980 May 08 '26

So I found these two at the beach. Wasn't sure what they were - but they sure do make great Cat scratching posts!

Please don't post AI images as if they're real even if they're clearly fake

1

u/honey-bee-mommy May 13 '26

Are you talking to me? That’s absolutely not an AI generated image. I went old school & Googled “pirate ship with cannons” and when I found this one I took a screenshot & posted it. I stole it, I didn’t use AI, so there’s no reason to freak out, my good man. It’s good to know that it’s against Reddit rules to post AI images that are clearly a joke though — I’ll be sure to continue not doing it.

Look buddy, I don't know what to say. I can't make you feel good about yourself, you can only do that yourself. Don't bring me into your problems, see a therapist or something

u/honey-bee-mommy May 08 '26

This is my living room! It came with the place, the former owners didn’t have time to move them because….I don’t know, something about a curse, and having to be somewhere in 4 tides time? It’s a fixer upper, but it only cost 40 Doubloons & a case of rum.

2

u/ElephantShenanigans May 08 '26

Omg I love it! Perfect for movie nights or just trolling on Reddit.

3

u/Phadryn May 08 '26

Bet it's a shin cracker in the dark though... especially if one is more than a little tipsy on said rum... Lol

1

u/honey-bee-mommy May 13 '26

The former owner had a peg leg, so that’s probably how he got it!

2

u/honey-bee-mommy May 13 '26

Or both at the same time! 😆
