Extension for a booby trap pressure plate.

for resetting mills grenade strikers

 

[millsbomber]

well your all close with the posts so far but not quite right, its from the USA, its only 40 mm long

 

[Bonnex]

I thought Hazord had it Dave. They come with the US Army Engineers' Pressure Switch ( firing device) to extend the height of the pressure pad ( eg under a train rail).

 

[millsbomber]

Well that's some thing i have learned as i was thinking it was for resetting the switches, Well done over to you Hazord, thank you Bonnex,,,,,, Dave

 

[HAZORD]

And now for something completely different. I was walking through the blue room and this one spoke to me, wanting its turn.

 

[paul the grenade]

is it a badly designed pepper pot?

 

[HAZORD]

It's ordnance. Not pepper or tea related.

 

[spotter]

container for grape/canister type shot

 

[HAZORD]

Not a grapeshot container. And it's not a pasta maker.

 

[paul the grenade]

is it some kind of gas emitting projectile?
