My gf bought two of these in à second hand store. Anyone who can tell me what it is? You can screw of the tip of it. Its hollow inside, and quite heavy. Thanks in advice
>>990502
give a front and back photo too.
Isn't that a bullet for coke or speed?
>>990507
Photo from when you screw of the tip. The round tip that is. I dont have it right now, so i cant provide more photos
>>990502
That looks like a nozzle tip off some kind of pressure hose...

Reminds me of some of the stuff I saw in the 1980s in a tool box of pneumatic tools.
It looks rifled.
>>990502
Small bore cannon projectile. The hollow is for the explosive fill.
They were often used in "trench art" as chess pieces, salt&pepper shakers, etc..
>>990588
seems unlikely that any cannon that small would use such a machining intensive projectile.

Yes, they did, and still do. In fact modern ones are more complex.

That is how most driving bands look after being fired, then bounced about in somebody's possession for a few decades.
Here's some from my collection, note the condition of two 20mm on the lower left.

You're thinking of one of these.
>>990502
can you give more pics of the bottom and a side shot?
dont listen to the bullet guys is nothing like the fuses for projectiles or projectile itself
>>990684
Yeah. It is actually.
A few moments of 'net searching would prove it, assuming you decided the images already posted were not sufficient evidence enough..
Best guess is that it's a shell body made into a "soldier's wife" /sewing kit container, or as a kind of art piece.
>>990502
it's a stash box.
>>990502
Subcaliber spotting round.
Made to match the trajectory on a reduced scale of the cannon peice it was used in. It probably would have had a tracer component in the rear and a smoke or flash charge in the body to register the hit.
It's for snuff
It's a waterproof container for matches and shit.
>dur it's a cannon shell!
>>990848
Obviously made from a fired projectile, you obtuse knucklehead.

I've seen a lot of stuff just like that one. They are pill containers specifically for holding heart medicine (nitro glycerin tablets specifically). The idea was it needs to be waterproof, wearable as a necklace, and something that is heavy and annoying enough that you never forget you are wearing it or where it is at... that way you remain 100% conscious of the fact that you have it with you when you need it.
Anyone who as ever had severe angina or even a moderate tear in a chest muscle knows that fumbling the fuck around in your pants pocket for a pill bottle is nonsense when that pain kicks in. 90% of your mind is occupied trying to not shit your pants and/or having your eyeballs pop out of your head from the pain, so hopefully you maintain enough stamina to pop this open and chug-a-lug. It also pre-dates yet has the same effect as those medical alert bracelets that warns first responders about your allergy/condition. When they see the huge nitro necklace they will immediately know that you are heart boy and that might be the issue.
I'm surprised this one has as many threads as it does, usually you turn it 1/2 turn and its opens up.
Pic somewhat related. Modern chink versions of the same. Nowadays heart disease is treated in a preventive/maintenance mode rather than relying on acute first aid.... seeing that the first symptoms of heart disease tend to be heart attack or stroke.
New pic from the bottom.
The nitroglycerin teori was good, although you have to turn the tip about 10 laps before its open.
>>990960
pic of other end?
>>990502
That looks like an old lipstick tube.
>>990960
>The nitroglycerin teori was good
No it wasn't. You can clearly see how the rifling has been engraved and worn from passing down a barrel.
It's a subcaliber round for training.
>rifling
What rifling? That's not how rifling works.
>>990979
Driving band. It does look similar to one.
I would bet either some kind of training round or a novelty item made to look like a shell, probably the latter.
>>990979
Do you see the driving band on it?
That engages the rifling in the barrel. Some are preengraved others aren't. You can see it's been fired from the marks on the band and the fact some material has displaced to the back.
>>990988
No, it's not
>>990973
Yea idk maybe?
>>990502
looks like a copy of a imco trench lighter..
>>990997
not a bad shout Sir, maybe..

Hmm, could you fill that with ethanol instead?
That's a very large flame.
Can it be somekind of bullet thats shot with pneumatic?
>>990858
No, you "obtuse knucklehead" it is not a fired projectile. It's a waterproof case machined from solid brass. There's nowhere near enough damage on it to have ever been fired.
>b-but muh cannon!!!
>>990984
>You can see it's been fired from the marks on the band and the fact some material has displaced to the back.
I don't know if you're aware, but old shit wears out. I have a steel pen that has wear marks like this, does that mean it's a cannon shell?
>>990997
Trench lighters were originally made from shit you'd find in the trenches, including munitions.
It's trench art, made from a fired shell.
FFS.
>>991103
>making lighters out of random shit on the ground
Why?
I mean if you had the luxury of slapping together a lighter in the middle of a warzone you'd think a flint and striker would work better.
>>991208
Because you have ready access to a known object of immense durability and known precision.
Thats why.
>>991145
Wait. No. No its not possible. I can't remember what your trip is.

I was there for Meplat and stopped going to /k about the same time he stopped posting (Unrelated reasons, I was no gunz and was tired of debating military shit and was afraid I would talk about some secret sauce)
Meplat almost certainly wouldn't bother picking up his trip for this though.
The possibility of meplat browsing diy was fun though.
>>991228
Yeah, but some asshat fucking emailed me.
Its trench art.
>>991235
liderally no retart its ammonition

Made from a fired shell. As many have said, ffs.
Cyanide tube. In case you dun fucked up. Wear it on a chain around your neck.
It's not a fucking bullet holy shit you guys are dumb, it's one of those trendy pill container little capsule things that people like to post in hipster EDC threads. I can't believe people from fucking /k/ think it's some sort of bullet.
>>991339
First off, your right, its not a bullet, a bullet is solid.
its clearly made from a cannon shell. As in the pointy bit that comes out the front. Bullets are solid and much smaller.
Nevermind how absurd it is to say that it being trendy now somehow excludes this, especially since it is clearly much older than the trend. Lets just consider for a second that it might be a trendy pill container made from a cannon projectile.
Post that motherfucker on the AR-15 forums along with the measured diameter.
FWIW projos were made in the millions and surplused as scrap after wars. They are still collected from practice ranges by the military and often sold by the dumpster or even railcar load as are spent cartridge cases. The original may have had longer rifling marks which were turned off except for the remaining band in a lathe. A manual turret lathe is ancient tech but could have spit those out all day easily. Labor was trivially cheap. The "band" shows deformities which would not have been machined (outward displacement of metal at about 1 o'clock near OPs pinky finger) though of course that could have been copied by swaging a turned band through a die made from a hunk of rifled barrel. Someone who has a collection will likely have a match or close match to it either way.
>ibs a cammom shell
fucks sake this is why i dont come to this dumbass board. brass is not a material that projectiles are made of

For fucks sake post the other one as well. Maybe more clues.
The features on the base look similar to the one in the bottom left of >>990658 's image, but that's where the similarity ends.
I'm going to agree with anons and say it's a >>990922 keepsake/pill bottle modelled on >>990997
Possible a case for a small optic. Like for a microscope lense or something?
It's got the initials K.B. on it
Dude, that's gotta be Keith Baringer's
Who's that?
He was in my math class.
I love the fucktards that has obviously never seen an antique shell that keep claiming it is not a bullet/shell.
Looks like a low caliber incendiary or spotting round, probably late 1800s.
If it is a spotting round it could be a lot later than that too i guess.
That thing is so small, I have no idea what it exactly is, but it is likely some kind of smooth-bore round.
>>990517
it's a methanol sparkless chemical lighter
It is a bullet from ww1, i have one of these >>990997 and it looks seriously like OP.
Will post pic if u want
>>991873
A bit small for one of the Maxim projectiles, they tended to run in the inch bore.. possibly one of the Gatling or Gardner shells though.
There were a bunch of sub .80" diameter shells with explosive fill toyed with in the 1890~1910 era.. It's likely based on one of them.
And yes, Brass/copper alloy was/s a very common small bore projo material.
As again, others have pointed out.
Have some 57mm/6Lb with delerin bands.
