Interesting packages

The Daisy ammunition needed a sealed pack as it was caseless. The packs came with the projectiles in these tubes sealed at the ends. The tin contains these 36 grenade detonators. The black body indicates inert units.The tin was sealed originally.

Very nice, its seems a bit ironic that the caseless rounds had to have such a big case to protect them............
Thanks for showing them, Its interesting to see how these caseless rounds were transported without getting damaged.

Packaging

SG500. During the US caseless experiments the ammunition pouches contained a filling that stopped fire if they were hit!
You make an interesting point about the complexity of packing munitions. At one time I was involved in a project to analyse cost of weapons and ammunition. The packaging cost are not normally taken into account as people say so much per unit 100/1000 etc. The cost and complexity of packaging can be a surprising element in the overall cost.
