uncovered a live bullet that had lain completely undisturbed for over eighty years. The fully functional round, hidden deep within the cramped metal hull since the global conflict of the 1940s, immediately forced a temporary halt to all restoration activities. Workshop technicians activated standard explosive ordnance disposal protocols


Holy shite. That’s the most weak minded reaction I’ve ever read.

I don't remember him saying Iraq has a nuclear weapon. It was said "they're trying to make a nuclear weapon". They had already used chemical & biological weapons on their own people, which are WMDs.

We bombed facilities where they were enriching uranium. Now you have to ask yourself why were they enriching uranium.

Someone at some time out that bullet there never thinking it would be in this picture 80 years later untouched.

Stuff like this baffles me.

Unlike normal solid lead or steel-core bullets, the B-Patrone was a miniature high-explosive incendiary (HEI) projectile engineered with an internal firing pin, a capsule of phosphorus, and a small explosive charge.

That is not what it is. The article even says it was just a standard MG34 round (7.92 x 57 Mauser)

Why did you post that w/out any context? That doesn't look like a B-Patrone round to me.




International Ammunition Forum

Then compare to the article..

What do you think it looks like?



Hint... I am guessing it was pretty hard to tell considering the age and probable oxidation..

I say call out the Bomb Squads, give employees as much Psychological Counseling and Time Off with Pay as they need so that they can overcome this horrible mental trauma.
