Talking about Army Surplus store

[SteveSS]

Those little bombs were called Lazy Dogs. Used in Korea and in Vietnam. I would have bought them between those wars. Wiki said they were gruesome.

No, I had those too. I was told at the time they were flesh tearing little bombs about the same size as those cap bombs. They're was no explosion to them.

I wonder if you are not talking about a 60mm M69 mortar training/practice shell. I had one of those back then and I think it may have come from an Army surplus store.

No just look up Lazy Dog bombs
A Lazy Dog (sometimes called a Red Dot Bomb or Yellow Dog Bomb[1]) is a small, unguided kinetic projectile typically about 1.75 inches (44 mm) in length, 0.5 inches (13 mm) in diameter, and weighing about 0.7 ounces (20 g).[1]

The weapons were designed to be dropped from an aircraft. They contained no explosive charge but as they fell they would develop significant kinetic energy[2] making them lethal and able to easily penetrate soft cover such as jungle canopy, several inches of sand or light armor.[3] Lazy Dog munitions were simple and cheap; they could be dropped in huge numbers in a single pass.[3] Like many other weapons, however, their effects were often gruesome and indiscriminate.

Lazy Dog projectiles were used primarily during the Korean and the Vietnam Wars.

Our store closed around here probably 20 years ago. At the time it closed, it was still had those great military surplus items, plus fishing and hunting items that you needed. It was a great store!

One of those smells a military person will never forget, the smell of the CIF facility. (Supply)
