Airborne Butters 02-03-2003 04:46 PM

All this for 10 bucks!
 
I made a stop by the Army-Navy surplus store to see if I could find a 101st Airborne patch or sticker, instead a dud grenade and .50 caliber ammo box caught my eye! They were cheap and good condition. I also saw a .30 caliber box and other neat stuff!

You sure it's a dud? Hit it with a hammer to check...

Good bargains though.

Airborne Butters 02-03-2003 04:53 PM

It's a dud cause the bottoms sawed off :/ it's pretty cool to have though.

Gotta love Army-Navy surplus.

Sergeant_Scrotum 02-03-2003 05:39 PM

why would you want an empty ammo box? its just an ugly green box.

Simo Häyhä 02-03-2003 05:42 PM

Yeah, the ones with blue handles are training duds. The surplus shops out here have boxes and boxes of those things.

Great for storage, though. You can use it for so many things: storage, cooking food, or cleaning. In basic, we filled them with hot water, laundry detergant, and put our LBE belts in there to get the dirt out for turn-in. Worked like a charm.

Atlas 02-03-2003 10:19 PM

U should of bought more duds that would be cool. I mean an ammo box with out ammo suxs

JowShmoe 02-03-2003 10:26 PM

i have one of those dud grenades, and also i have a practice grenade that i think was from world war two. its in the general shap of a grenade, except its all rock, no spring or pin. i also have a 1943 .50 shell casing and a sweet pair of field glasses (bad condition thought).

Bazooka_Joe 02-03-2003 10:40 PM

Yeah, then throw in some rounds, feed it into a group of oncoming Iraqis. Then, when they get hit, the will smell like a nice summer breeze instead of a stinking rotting corpse, it's good for morale and squeamish bystanders. cool:

02-04-2003 12:03 AM

lol slinky

redhawk_six 02-04-2003 12:30 AM

For the ammo tin:

Get a bunch of spent .50 cal casings, and an ammo belt.

Tripper 02-04-2003 12:42 AM

Why didn't you buy something cool?

intrestedviewer 02-04-2003 12:43 AM

Screw its purpose, turn it into a lunch box! evil:

Airborne Butters 02-04-2003 01:17 AM

AHHH! Thats awesome Intrested! I wish I bought my lunch to school, but now I am! Thats frickin cool mang! it's a little big, but I might buy a .30 caliber one.

{1CAB}ThiRTeeN 02-04-2003 01:25 AM

Just pack a big lunch to fill it with.

Miscguy 02-04-2003 03:19 AM

I have the same 5.56 ammo can. Holds 2000 paintballs perfectly. I love Army surplus stores, my brother says im like a kid in a candy store there. I look at everything and think about buying it as well. Sadly when i went looking i couldnt find an ammo can larger than the 5.56 800 rounder. I really wanted a .50.

Though it will be pretty funny to show up on a field with my m4 looking paintball gun and a 5.56 ammo can decked out in full cammo. lol evil:

02-04-2003 03:22 AM

i have a 200 round 7.62 box, although all it's got in it is .45 and m16 clips

i do like that lunchbox idea, that would have really freaked the teachers out at my schools biggrin:

Seek help immediately. eek:

imported_Fluffy_Bunny 02-04-2003 06:21 AM

You guys scare me.

I'm going to my local military surplus today, but to buy stuff that I need.

I'm going off w/ the weekend warriors for 3 days so I need gore-tex socks, compass, gloves etc.

Last weekend I had to sleep in the snow eek:

imported_Fluffy_Bunny 02-04-2003 06:23 AM

Nice idea about the lunch box.

At my school all the army cadet guys used to bring in their webbing, 1958 packs lol.

It was a strange sight to see all these school kids running round in uniform w/ army webbing.

But we did start a new fashion with it and soon everyone wanted some.

I use the ammo boxes for hunting equipment. They make great dry boxes for in the boat. They will hold a couple of boxes of shells, binoculars, gloves, snacks, etc.
