Is it a whistle?

No not a whistle although I see the resemblance.
Definitely ordnance.

It is a Hughes Lockless round, unable to tell what caliber due to no scale. I know of 5.56mm, .50 cal, 25mm, 30mm, and 40mm. I would venture a guess that there is also a 20mm version. I'm thinking this is a 30mm one.

Yea, its a Hughes Lockless. I've finally got the 40mm version after many years of looking. Photosl show it plus one to compare the 40mm with 30mm and 12.5mm. Also a link to yours.

Over to you Haz.

[HAZORD]

Congrats on the big Lockless Dave!

OK, give this one a try.

 

[SG500]

Is it a "pointy part" of a missile of some sort?

Dave.

 

[HAZORD]

Well, it goes through the air, but it's not a guided missile.

Ah good point, yes I omitted the "guided" bit by mistake.:tinysmile_hmm_t:

Dave.

 

[HAZORD]

Well, there are a number of ways to describe things. In some contexts, anything projected through the air is a missile. Usually in the Ordnance world, missiles are guided and rockets are unguided.
