Ammo Disposal

[snayperskaya]

I remember years ago when I was about 17 a friend of mine bought a really fancy metal detector and used to go down the local fields with it.Problem was one of the fields was sat on the site of a WW2 aircraft dump (and rumour has it an American P-38 crashed there) and he kept find live .50cal rounds by the bucketful (iirc some had black tips,some blue and others red and all were in excellent condition, with a bit of a wipe they looked as good as new).
He used to take them to the local police station and after the third or fourth bucketful they told him to stop digging them up!, other than that nothing ever came of it.I don't think they even asked exactly where he was digging them up from so there could be loads still in the ground there now!.

I've fired blank ammo in S.1 firearms in the middle of several town centres & city centres....as part of re-enactment events.

As to the tone I use at times: effort IN = effort OUT.

Back in ye olden days folk would have to FIND OUT the answer to questions themselves - either from personally owned books, or from a trip to the reference library, or similar. Nowadays there seems to be a lazy attitude regarding using the internet - in that there are all the answers to be found still, from the comfort of your pc/mobile....but there still seems to be a lack of effort IN - hence the tone of some of my answers!

Ever hear of Google? Not a town near Liverpool, a BIG web search provider.

Quite a few valid answers there regarding USE of blank ammo...not a cut & dried, black & white set of answers, but a good starting point, for very little time spent.

As the teachers used to keep banging on - if you show your working out, you get more credit for your final answers

You assume that I haven't looked into the legal minefield of this beforehand. I have, and I came up empty handed because everywhere seems to refer to blank firing firearms, as opposed to sectioned firearms. I'll admit that my question was not eloquently phrased and explaining that I had looked into this beforehand and coming up empty handed, but if you know the answers is it really so difficult to share the wisdom, as opposed to come out with some quasi-sarcastic reply which does nothing to further the conversation.
