They're being shipped undoubtedly from training facilities here and in Europe, and are a visual premonition of the 10-year war that Biden just signed us up for in Ukraine. ![Cool :cool: :cool:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

Casually drop one on Broadway in downtown Portland.I should leave one of those in the back of the truck just to stir shet up.![]()

No, wait. That wouldn't work. Before any cops showed up for an "explosive device" threat, a tweaker would snag it and take it to a pawn shop.

But first, fill with dog&cat/animal waste and a lot of dense rocks/pebbles to approximate the weight of a 120mm round!Tape a job application to it.

The weight is right on the tube, so if we could get close to that weight, it'll make for an entertaining distractionGonna make a mess when the Bomb Squad robot shoots it with a shotgun.
One of my favorite hardware store chains. Can't find what you want at Lowes or HD? You'll probably find it at Parkrose.Which Parkrose Hardware?
From training ammo, probably these haven't been overseas. Maybe from Yakima Firing Range, poss. Fort Irwin. Or similar.It makes you wonder if some of them are coming back from overseas...

I doubt they'd ship ammo containers back from theater, too much money goes into handling and shipping to turn around and have DRMO auction them off as surplus. Yet, you have to wonder, why don't they recycle them in the ammunition making business? Meaning, wouldn't there be value in having the manufacturer use them multiple times for the same purpose? I'm sure this has been thought of. Perhaps there are worries that they wouldn't meet condition standards, once they've been issued and used. Oh, and container manufacturers would loose out on new container production.
Likely related reasons to why the military have to waste/fire off all ammunition not expended before the next budget termAnd why aren't we selling the stuff we can't ship back, instead of abandoning it?
Free up your afternoon schedule to give yourself time to get your kid out of lockup!Give one to your son to take to school. Tell him it's lighter to carry around all day if you rest it on your shoulder. Make the antigunner teachers crap their pants. Shall not be infringed.

And let him know that if he hears an adult voice yell "Drop it!", don't spin around to see who it is.Free up your afternoon schedule to give yourself time to get your kid out of lockup!
Well... we are training foreign artillery units overseas as well. Very likely in much larger scale than our own troops, domestically. We can't very well ship foreign troop units into Yakima for training.From training ammo, probably these haven't been overseas. Maybe from Yakima Firing Range, poss. Fort Irwin. Or similar.

They are being trained in other places in the US. Read this:We can't very well ship foreign troop units into Yakima for training.
On highly specialized equipment that are in limited quantity with a limited number of operators being trained it may make more sense to train in the US.They are being trained in other places in the US. Read this:
In that post, I didn't limit the scope of this activity to Yakima, having said, "Or similar."
The Brits have also been training Ukrainian soldiers in the UK.
I was just in the local hardware store. They are selling some interesting army surplus.
See the picture. The short tubes are $19.95 and are about 2.5 ft long. The long tubes
are $29.95 and are about 3.5 ft long. Strap a couple of these to your SUV to
carry your fishing poles and have some "fun". No, not really, but an interesting thought.
