I have heard that some collectors believe that any inert projectile with a fuze should be stored with the fuze separate.
This is in case the items are ever seized by the authorities. I was told that they will treat anything with a fuze in place as potentially live and will destroy it.
It is supposedly deemed as unnecessary risk to try to remove the fuzes to confirm that the item is inert. Is that correct or just rumours?
Some smaller modern inert TP projectiles from 20-35mm calibre are fitted with aluminium dummy fuzes from the factory. These are usually not possible to remove without damage.
