Hi ninja,

a picture should be better, but...
ARE YOU SURE YOU HAVE NOT A LIVE MUNITION ?
Did you found it on Omah or Omaha beach (Normandy) ?
If you found it on a beach, there are great posssibility that your finding is "live". Warn the police forces, they will take appropriate action.

Hi

Here we are in the category Bomb fuzes.

Is it a bomb fuze ?

the post will be moved when ninja1980 responds ,,
as you can see hes new to the site and people do get mixed up with bomb and projectile fuzes when they are not familiar with them,
priority at the moment is,,is the item potentially live and a risk to life

As said yodamaster , if found on the beach , certainly not empty ammo.

Sorry but I do have to say something about this thread.....ninja1980 is a new member to our community and this is his first post and for all we know he could be new to our hobby,my point being some of the answers he got could be enough to scare him away from our,normaly,friendly site..I'm not refering to Yodas concerns but the 'worries' about this fuze being placed in the wrong section....who cares!...it does take a while to find your way around this site when you are new to it,remember how it was when you joined?
Come on guys we have to cut some slack sometimes and we all had to learn things in the beginning including finding our way around BOCN

Cheers
Tony

Hi Tony


Where do you see an attack ?
I had only asked : Is it a bomb fuze ?


Is it rude to ask for some confirmations ? (he may perhaps make a confusion between a bomb and a shell) .
You can remark that ,to help ninja1980 , i have posted two pictures of the possible ammos .


-- then don't worry, i'm sure that ninja1980 has not been shocked :hello:
 
I never mentioned an attack....I wrote what I said and nothing else....yes you have posted some very nice pictures...which would imply you did know it wasn't a bomb fuze in the first place.
I am not having a go at you or anybody else,just put the shoe on the other foot and think how some of the remarks(not just yours) would feel if you were a new member and possibly a novice in collecting ordnance and had asked the same question
 
...which would imply you did know it wasn't a bomb fuze in the first place.

All this for a simple question ????

I am not here to receive lessons or unpleasant insinuations.

I am on this forum to help, (look all what i have posted during these years).

Then, as i cannot write, or ask a simple question or speak clearly, I stop participating .

:hello:

You didn't just ask a simple question did you? you made a pop at it being in the wrong section first didn't you?...so none of what I said is about a simple question,it was,as I have already said about what I said in the first place,,,so do not try to read between the lines because I say what I mean and that is all,if I meant something else,rest assured I would have said it
 
Stop the fight, please !
Let fight bad boys ! Let us stay between gent's !

All that for a post wrong placed bij a newbee !!! What a beautiful image of the BOCN members !

Obviously, Yodamaster, you're a Jedi master !! (the best one !)

Good !

Can we now have news of this explosive (?) ordnance found on the beach of Omah and fitted with a Vz 19 fuze ? Hmm, ninja1980 ?

Some picture, description,... ?
