[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 33493, member: 301"]Yes , this is Trench Art. The two loose bullets are misfires if there's a depression where they were struck by the firing pin on the bottom of the base. In the case of the small one ( a 22 cal.) it may be on the outer rim ( rim fire). If that's the case then they should be safe......BUT....they should also still contain gunpowder ......& I would remove the rounds from the casing & empty the powder....just in case ! The bullets already used for the plane and ashtray may not be live rounds but may also still be full of powder. I wouldn't want to weld or hammer them.................[/QUOTE]
