Grenade in the chest

Except it's not a grenade, or a grenade fuze. Obviously the BBC are incapable talking to anyone with any form of technical knowledge.

Anyway, BBC rant aside, I reviewed this on Monday, and it's likely a Romanian SH82 mortar fuze. See below

There's a possibility, as I mentioned above, that it's a Romanian M6R mortar fuze. Though I'm not to sure what the fuze's nose tip looks like without the safety cover in place.

My first thought was a fuze but neither fuzes, mortars or generally modern stuff are my interest.

I emailed them with corrective data, but I doubt they even acknowledge my message, or that they are or their source is wrong.

As to modern stuff, I have to cover that and the old stuff. Plus, what's new now, will be old in the future any way.
